Would like to COMPLETELY remove the borders, I made this image to show what I mean.

I tried searching for 30 minutes, couldn't find anything. Anyone have any ideas? Would be open to anything, registry hacks, custom themes, doesn't matter.

Thanks!

HeyJD
That's what I want it to look like.

I found that too. Strange that Microsoft won't let us do simple things like these (tried to change startup sound before, found out the option was there in Vista but I needed to use a resource hacker to do it in 7)

Sorry, I didn't look at this thread for a while.

I used the the theme Clearscreen Sharp to make the taskbar, and I changed the taskbar icon using the http://b3nnyk.deviantart.com/art/Circl-171298865?q=&qo= start orb, but I edited the file in Photoshop to make mine glow on hover and go down in opacity when pressed down. I changed the start orb using http://kishan-bagaria.deviantart.com/art/Windows-7-Start-Button-Changer-153001999, which is a very nice tool. You don't even have to log out/log back in, just select the image file (there are specific dimensions, look at the Circl image for more information) and press Change. Finally, the icons are Dark Token (http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570).

EDIT: I didn't look at my screenshot when I answered, and it seems I have changed my desktop a bit since I took the screenshot.

The previous screen shot used the Soft7 theme (http://ap-graphik.deviantart.com/art/Soft7-1-8-for-Windows-7-144948406) and the regular start orb.

In case you were wondering, here's my current desktop.

I still haven't found anything, will post if I can find anything. However, I settled on the Clearscreen Sharp theme which has square corners instead of the rounded ones (see the link above)
