In Windows OS most users prefers to modify its look and behavior by adding themes, changing logon screen, changing icons etc. Previously I've covered several tools and tips to modify your Windows 7 themes, login, or welcome screen, but this time here is yet another small utility which lets you to change Windows 7 Start orb. Windows 7 Start Orb Changer is a free and tiny portable tool that allows you to change your Windows 7 start orb with just one click. No need to manually do anything. Just run it as administrator, select your start orb bitmap and you are done. Windows 7 Start Orb Changer v3 is available and it fixes the "GDI+" bug so please download it again.
There are 2 files and 1 folder in the archive:
Windows 7 Start Orb Changer.exe - The main executable file
r.exe - Used by the tool to replace the start orb bitmaps
Sample Orbs - Contains 38 sample start orb bitmaps
If you don't have any start orb bitmaps, you can use search in Google to find it and also use many free added sample start orb bitmaps in it. The credit for this great application goes to Kishan Bagaria. The start orb bitmaps which I have provided are not created by me and the full credit goes to the original authors (See Credits.txt for more info). If you want to restore the original start orb back then change the orb to the first sample start orb bitmap in the Sample Orbs folder. The 2 files "Windows 7 Start Orb Changer.exe" & "r.exe" should stay in the same folder to work. It works with both Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit. If you find any bugs, just inform me about it.
