Included is:
-Rainmeter .ini script
-.png image
-Start Menu Command Shell

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALL:

Extract both the rainmeter script and the image in it's own folder in your Rainmeter
skin directory. You can change the image to what ever you like, there are plenty
of start orbs out there. Just make sure the src line in the script matches its
file name. To change the location of the start orb input the X and Y coordinates
in the .ini file.

Extract the openstartmenu.exe to your Rainmeter plugins directory and ensure the file
path matches the one in the .ini file.

Happy Skinning

Do you put it in the Skins directory in the larger Rainmeter file? or do I put the files in the separate Skins Directory?

I haven't used Rainmeter in over a year so things may have changed, but under my Documents there should be Rainmeter Folder for skins. If you'r selecting ti and nothing is showing up make sure the .ini file is referring to a valid .png image file and the coordinates are small enough to be on screen.

I hope that clears things up.

My latest screenshot was just featured in Lifehacker today and this skin was one of the rainmeter skins I used. I changed the button, but the code is yours, you can see it at [link]

Yes, I saw this on Shooters Gallery (I did a Google search of my name) :) as well as here on DeviantART, I do really like your design, it's upwards of the best I've seen here. This is great news, thanks for info.
