Description I re-imported the Start Menu as shown in this screenshot here so it looks cleaner than the one in the previous screenshot. The navigation button frame is cleaner as well while matching with File Explorer. The Search Icon overlaps the orb in the search bar so the 2 icons wouldn't take up a lot of space of the search bar altogether. 

If any of you still want the search icon next to the star orb, I can either upload the resource so you guys can change it or upload the stand-alone msstyle file in a zipped file.

As you know this theme is an import from Windows 7 by   ported over to the modern OS of Windows 8 and 8.1 Some edits had to be made after the theme was imported to fit Windows 8 and 8.1's new layout. Hope you all like.

The 8 that appears after Double Rainbow and Administrative Tools in the screenshot at the top of this page - is there not supposed to be a right arrow there. I am getting this also. www.dropbox.com/s/n6l0q48ik0of… . Is this a bug with the theme or with SIB. When I let the mouse hover the menu items I still get the popup ok. eg when hovering over Control Panel all the items in Control Panel will appear ok.

If you are using SIB, run regedit and got to HKEY Current User/Software/StartIsBack. Look for Taskbar Alpha. Right click this key and modify to "0". This should give you full glass. You may have to restart explorer.

I had added a separate msstyle file called "No Start Menu" in the rar which fixes that issue.

It'll be alright though. I recently had to re-import all my themes because I realized, thanks to that discovered a Modern UI animation glitch when closing, and minimizing Modern Apps, "Update 1" changed some more things within the Msstyle. So All the imported themes I've made here thus far, will need to be and have been re-imported, and will be re-released soon once I fixed everything.

The image that you use for the transparent background of the default programs/pinned programs panel would be nice if used behind the 'All programs' panel with the white font color instead of the black font color. That would keep a nice consistency when going back or to all programs.

It would really help if I knew how to pin a snipped photo or two of my start so you would see what it is I'm asking.

Nice work!

One question, would it be hard to modify the start menu so the 'All Programs' background matches the initial panel in the Start menu? I have noticed many start themes revert to a white background there, so I was wondering.

Do you think I should remove the image completely or leave it as an invisible image?
