Not sure about the startup screen, a 3rd part app might be able to do that if it bothers you
As for the different sizes... well I started it but had no time to finish it and gave up, released what I had to the public for anyone to continue..
Although, Without looking through the thread, Yep all 3 pages of it xD
I have no idea if anyone still has the latest sources as UploadFFS and Megaupload have both gone down the drain, or FBI shutdown in MU's case lol
But if you're looking for any custom sizes you'll have to find the sources and have VB6 installed to change it, You'll have to resize all the controls individually
IIRC..The sources wont update to VS2008 or VS2010..At least not without a shitload of errors and warnings
So you will need VB6 to edit the source
