Hello. Would the artists among us be willing to make some antix start menu buttons for those of use that use icewm or lxpanel? If you create them I'll write a how-to installation guide. Thanks.

Thanks. Here's a screenshot of an icewm theme. It has the start menu button in the top-left corner. I really like the fonts you've been using lately in your walls, perhaps you can modify it for a start button.

linktext was:"http://themes.freshmeat.net/screenshots/35537/"

P.S. To get an idea of the size, etc. look in - for example -

/usr/share/icewm/themes/ElbergBlue/taskbar/linux2.xpm

II asume this images are ,png format? I did a few kickers for KDE in the past, my own, so I think it is the same basic procedure but I'm not sure about the size. I will look into it. You need this two names separated each in one individual botton, icewm % lxpanel. I will take sometime, as soon as I finish a line of wallpapers that are working on it right now i will begin to get into it. Thanks for the help, like always your faithful partner.

Just noticed your request for help. I see Sakasa's been busy cranking out some excellent wallpaper so i took a few minutes to throw a start button together based on the Elbergblue you mentioned in your post.

I used one of Sakasa's font's and endeavored to shrink it down for the start button. Might be able to clean it up a little more if this is what you were thinking of.

I will send it to you via message on this forum. You should be able to rename it to linux2.xpm and replace the one in Elbergblue. Let me know what you think.
