I'm using Windows 7 Start Button changer v2.6: http://i47.tinypic.com/35buv6p.jpg But I prefer more SunRise Seven, because it has more of the other options.

Wait ... I found a way. Unfortunately, not only with Paint.net but still. Here's what I did: 1. I made a picture with size 54x162 2. I made sure that it has a transparent background (note to avoid pure black elements in the picture, replaced color 000000 with color ex 000001) 3. I save it as a PNG file 4. I used program "FormatFactory" to convert PNG file to BMP file (did not change any settings) 5. Loading a picture to Win 7 Start Orb Changer and you're done! I hope that this method will work for everyone. Thank you for your help!

Ego Eram Reputo and pdnnoob I tried and thanks for help, but for some reason my Win7 Orb Changer and Sunrise Seven uses only BMP file format and not PNG.

OK, I'm sorry that it came to this. The details of using pdn2bmp I'll find somewhere else, but I go back to my original question: Is there a specific way to do it only with Paint.net?

I write again: when I'm trying to enter in the name mark "/", message appears that it is not possible to use "/". What should I do?

http://www.mediafire.com/?ar66bx2bnuisall I tried the name "pdn2bmp image.pdn" (In zip) and got "pdn2bmp image.bmp" (In zip). The result is poor (picture "No title.jpg" in the zip file)

When I try to use this program, I encounter a problem: the file name should be "pdn2bmp /argb image.pdn" but when I try to change the name, message appears that it is not possible to use "/". What should I do?

Ok, I have a question for someone who knows how to edit and test alpha channel. what is the difference between these two start orbs: http://www.mediafire.com/?zddbiatz713713k First I downloaded from the internet and it works well. I opened it in Paint.net and then save it unchanged (here comes version "resave") and when I try to use it, it becomes translucent and has the color of the taskbar. For this I suspect that this is a problem with saving settings. Can someone do the same thing and see if he/she will have the same result?

when I do so I get something like this: http://tinypic.com/r/y11k7/6 and when I don't I get what I want, except the black square. PS. I use "Sunrise seven" to change Start Orb and it use only .bmp images

I tried these two colours you have entered but they do not work. Here 'my project, broken down into prime factors: http://www.mediafire.com/?zabxg8j0d5mw3lx Such as it is I saves it in .bmp , I gives permission to flatten and I try to load it into the program to change the Start Orb. The black square is still coming back. Maybe something in my project is not right... But what?

Hi, Thank you. As I said, I found only a few instructions, and mainly for Photoshop (ex: http://www.door2windows.com/how-to-create-a-windows-7-start-orb/). I suspected that it might be an issue of transparency, but controlling it in Paint.net and Photoshop (internet manuals) are different and I do not know what to do exactly. In addition: I save them in bmp, not jpg (and they still not work), jpg was required by the website on which I put it.

Hi I am looking for a way to correctly make or modify a Windows 7 Start Orb (ex: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WWYb1nN_MQE/S2_InNLk_5I/AAAAAAAAAoc/IF5zDmBKwNA/s1600/Windows%207%20Start%20Orb%20Changer%20v3%20sample.jpg). When I do it simply, appears a black square when I click on the Start button. All instructions on this topic are made for Photoshop, or Gimp, but not for Paint.Net Here is one of my own, which does not work http://i47.tinypic.com/14so60g.jpg If anyone knows the answer please let me know. Thank you in advance.
