So, over the last few days, I've made a fork of the Windows Vista Start menu made by OneSerendipity on the Classic Shell forums, which aims to replicate the default start menu (not the classic one you could get on Vista by right-clicking the start button and choosing the classic start menu, but the default one in classic style that you can get by just disabling themes/choosing a classic theme).
As you can see in the screenshots, it is color-scheme responsive, it follows your menu color, as well as your message box font, and your selected item color.
However right now, as you can see, I have 2/3 major issues with the skin file at the moment:
I have no idea how to make the search button's image bigger: Because this default Open Shell search button icon is 16x16, while the actual Vista Classic icon is around 22x22 while having a different, more detailed design:
(actual menu on Vista)
Also, as you can see, there's a horizontal divider between the power buttons and the action shortcuts that's missing on Classic Shell.
So that's why I'm asking if any of you would happen to know if there's a way to fix it without losing the ability to make the system colors and fonts sync.
