    Start menu transparency


    i currently have the transparency turned on and the colors are to my liking but I was wondering is there a way to make the background more transparent and to change the icons background color for messed up icons.

    What I want to do is make the main part a bit more transparent for the start menu area. If I can't make the background area completely transparent can I at least adjust the transparency of the background area at all. Plus I really like the icon background areas as well but the colors on some icons are incorrect is there a way to fix that as well. The color is fine but I need to change the ones that are incorrect. Plus can I change the transparency of the icons area in the start area also. Just curious.

    If you are not satisfied with the common Start Menu of Win 10 you might try the Classic Menu which gives you other options, find it here: Ninite

    I use Classic Shell which has endless adjustments including some opacity settings.

    Classic Shell is no longer in active development and has been replaced by Open Shell.
    It might be worth a look.

    You're most welcome Bob C. Must have that too. ^^^^^^

    WinAero Tweaker has many excellent tweaks and will teach you how to do them yourself, if you're so inclined.

    I already have it, thanks. Use it to keep startup page from being dull while logging in, among other things.
