I hope you're running KBFX already, if not, install the KBFX rpm - or re-build for your distribution's prefix to $KDE - next, right-click Kicker taskbar, add KBFX applet - turn off applet handles etc ... using the configure panel as shown below.
Changing the K-Start Menu Image: - e.g. Start/Launch Image Button. 1. Locate and click your [Personal Files [Home] desktop icon. Might be on your K-Menu if not the desktop. It's Konqueror File Manager.
2. Locate the KBFX K-Start Image: They are all in /usr/share/icons/; then drag one over top of the KBFX K-Start position. Now turn off applet handles like this below example.
Changing the Kicker Bar Image. 1. Right click 'Kicker' panel - e.g botton bar, usualy your taskbar in WindowsXX. 2. Chose from there - [Configure Panel] 3. Click Tab [Appearance] See section [Panel Background] - The rest is straight forward but use 26 pixels or larger for kicker or the buttons will look off.
1. Notes for developers. You can change the defaults to /opt/kde3; or /usr/someplace; by modifying this spec file for another location. 2. Using ImageMagick: convert xp.png xp.xpm 3. KBFX background images are in: /opt/kde/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/; 4. KBFX K-Start/Launch images are in: /usr/share/icons/;Last changelog:

0.2 - Using KBFX 0.4.7.2 o - Updated KBFX start image to give a more plastic look effect.
o - Fixed some ugly artifact in the translucency effects.
o - Softened the KBFXBACK image so contrast is not so bright - gives a more plastic look now.
Thanks to Siraj for his new KBFX code. XP like menus and better themes are possible and happening now - works nicely. -
0.3 - Using KBFX 0.4.7.3 o - Updated to Siraj 's next generation of excellence for KDE - KBFX - Thank you Siraj. More from this artist: http://www.linuxlots.com/~siraj/kde/plugin/home/
0.4 - Updated broken links and add a second screenshot.
Note: If anyone wants there own distributions logo on start button - I can do it fast - just let me know.
it seems you have pretty much made the content your own, but in my opinion rather than saying that you used "
someone's" content you should give this person credit for the contribution to your work.
