I mapped this out for myself, but maybe someone else will find it useful if you're like me and a bit slow at times  Tongue.
Sorry for the messy look.  I just threw this together quickly as I wasn't planning on sharing it originally.
Didn't go into the item details, but basically named the Start Menu panel/bases.

You change the RECT property, but Win7 Style Builder has a bug that does not allow you to change it, unless:

1.  Open up another Vista Style Builder, open a Vista theme (don't import, just open a Vista theme).
2.  Make changes to the RECT property in Vista theme, and copy the property and Paste to your Windows 7 theme.  If you do that, it will register.

Sizing margins doesn't change width.  Play with the Rect property.  Read my instruction, because Win7 has a bug which can be fixed with Vista theme.

Nice helper! Changed SearchView white background but it appears that it only uses a small portion of the pic you have outlined. Same goes for the NSCHost

Is that because it is part of explorer? John
It's because it's not programmed to do so.

Very Helpful, wish there was something like this for every setting in the whole thing..it's so hard to find stuff starting out..even then it gets confusing.
