| Neptune was the codename for a version of Microsoft Windows under development in 1999. Based on Windows 2000 , it was to replace the Windows 9x series [ 3 ] and was scheduled to be the first consumer version of Windows built on Windows NT code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Neptune |

| If you're talking about what I think you are then it shows up just fine in two-column mode for me. |

| I've done some checking & the only one I've seen for Windows Server 2008 was shown horizontal to the menu, other than that I can't find anything at all so I don't even know if that single image is even correct or not. |

Looks like that was it, I wasn't using a classic theme at the time when I was testing it. |

Nope, not on & doesn't look right when it is either. |

| The text on the caption image is often unique & CS doesn't have any font options that I know of that would allow users to imitate the text in the exact way it's seen in the original image so it is necessary to a point. Just something I noticed though, the borders are missing making the menus loo... |

| I've modified the Black & Blue sub-skin to make it a Windows 2000 skin, as soon as I work out a couple of bugs I'd be happy to share it if anyone wants it (also if it's ok with juniper7) |

Finally got it after playing around with the image size & Main_bitmap_slices numbers. This would be a lot easier if someone would make a skinning program though  |

I got it, it seems I screwed up one of the numbers which caused the image to not show up.
[edit]
Seems I have 1 problem left, the image is getting stretched a few pixels & I'm not sure how to fix that. |

| Ok, I'm starting to get the hang of this a little more but I'm still having a few issues. I realized I forgot the border part in the image so I've got that covered now I'm just not sure what I need to edit next, the skin I'm using has more than 1 style & the Main_bitmap_slices section isn't in t... |

The problem is I'm still not exactly sure how it all works. Here's what I'm trying to to:
165.bmp is the current image, Bitmap_157.bmp is what I'm trying to replace it with.
Now, when I try to replace the smaller image with the larger one, I get what you see in menu.png |

| I suppose so, I guess I was thinking of something else. From what I was able to work out so far is that the images used for the captions are small, I was meaning to use larger images but I wasn't sure if it was possible. You can just delete the topic, I think it's in the wrong place for what I'm thi... |

I'm not sure if this has been requested before but I'd like to see the ability to use images for captions, kind of like what TClock does.
I used to use this all the time back on 9x versions of Windows to change the start menu image to another version of Windows. |

| Installed in Windows 10 TP & ran into the same issue with the taskbar icons being hidden behind the Find/Task view icons but for me it only happens when replacing the start button. |

| Using the 3D orb (metro12.png), looks nice with the style I'm using. I did the same with the 3D one that you did to the other, if anyone wants it I could attach it. |
