Cutie Mark Start Buttons

Description

Hey there!

With a lack of ponified Windows start buttons, I felt inclined to make my own. I'm not much of a graphics artist, but I think I did a pretty decent job.

What this does is it replaces your Windows start button/orb, with an orb containing the color and cutie mark of one of 33 different ponies, the list is below:
Pack 1:
- Applejack
- Big Macintosh
- Cheerilee
- Derpy Hooves
- Time Turner (Doctor Whooves)
- Fluttershy
- Lyra Heartstrings
- Octavia
- Pinkie Pie
- Princess Celestia
- Princess Luna
- Rainbow Dash
- Rarity
- Trixie
- Twilight Sparkle
- Vinyl Scratch (DJ Pon-3)

Pack 2:
- Berry Punch
- Braeburn
- Caramel
- Cutie Mark Crusader (Logo)
- Daring Do
- Golden Harvest (Carrot Top)
- Granny Smith
- Minuette (Colgate)
- Princess Cadance
- Queen Chrysalis
- Roseluck
- Shadowbolt
- Shining Armor
- Spitfire
- Sweetie Drops (Bon-Bon)
- Wonderbolt (Female)
- Wonderbolt (Male)

And in case you lose it, I also included the default Windows orb should you choose to go back (but why would you want to do that?).

--------------------

Anyways, as far as installation goes:

Step 0:
This pack is for Windows 7. However, thanks to :iconserindo: pointing it out, you can actually use this one Windows 8 if you use Classic Shell, which apparently allows you to make your Windows 8 experience more like that of Windows 7. Thanks for the heads up!

Step 1:
Download the Windows 7 Start Orb Changer here:
www.door2windows.com/windows-7…

Step 2:
Unzip and run the program, and click the "Change" button, which should open up a folder view prompt box.

Step 3:
Drag your desired (or all) pony start orb into the prompt box, select the one you wish to use, and click "Open".

Step 4:
Your screen should refresh, and congrats: your desktop is now 20% cooler!

P.S. For those of you who downloaded this from the Equestria Digital pack:
The start buttons in there are old, and don't contain all the ones in the official pack here (only 16 vs 33). In addition, the program that they distribute causes the buttons to render incorrectly. Be sure to use the one I link above for the best results.

Yenshin - :iconyenshin:
- Queen Chrysalis (cut from here: yenshin.deviantart.com/art/Chr… )

Jessicat0 - :iconjessicat0:
- Spitfire

ZuTheSkunk - :iconzutheskunk:
- Daring Do
- Shining Armor

Icaron - :iconicaron:
- Princess Cadance

The-Smiling-Pony - :iconthe-smiling-pony:
- Braeburn
- Granny Smith

--------------------

This is the complete set of 33 (both packs at 16 each, plus Queen Chrysalis as a bonus). Rather than having them uploaded separately, it made more sense to pack them both together. Not all of the start buttons are shown in the preview above obviously, so some you'll just have to check out for yourself!

Enjoy!
