This has been made very easy using this small freeware (standalone - no install) program, just down load the zip file unpack and use its that easy >

I have used it on 64-bit but not on 32-bit yet, you get 10 Sample Orbs and I'm using the Blue one.

With a little looking you will find more Start Orb Bitmap Images on the Net, just move them to the Start Orb folder.

Very cool little program, thanks for posting. Would it be too rude to ask where you got thoes extra orbs? I tried a few from deviant art but they wouldnt work with the program.

Some I did get from deviant draceena, for them to work they need to be Bitmap format and of the same size.

Thanks for the links Veedaz. I figured out why some of the images were not working for me. The .bmp images need to be 32bit images (this is a 24 bit image with an alpha channel for transparency). I found a program to help me to 'convert' the images so they will work in the program properly and even made a custom orb of my own for the hubbie.
