Am very curious how you did the second picture, as I really like that type of layout. I downloaded installed even set Controls and Window Borders to the theme but no luck! Still looks like the top picture! Very nice work on the layout change and would love to know how that is done! Coloring authentic, but the layout interests me much more as this is where the tough work is! I would really appreciate an answer to this as have tried to get an answer before, but apparently is some hoax as the other author never answered!

Thank you very much. :)

I used a menu applet called "Starkmenu" for the second screenshot. You can get it here:http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/168
I set the name in the applet settings to "Start(+ one space character)".

But use whatever you like. :)

This looks a lot better.

My OCD doesn't like the very small space between the Favorites box, in the Main Menu, and the left edge of the Main Menu box. I think it should be a little bigger (more blue color on the left side of the Favorites box).

Your colors are spot on!

Thank you.

If you wanna see something different, modify it yourselves. Just give me credit.

Colors should be spot on since sources come from real XP.
