Metro-style theme for the Classic Start Menu

September 2, 2012 8:40 PM from

I am so pleased with the way Start8 is developing.

I just want to suggest that it would be great if there was a modern Metro style theme for the Classic Start Menu, without transparency.

All that would really be required is losing the rounded corners, and 3D gradient/glow mouseover effects.

Other suggestions include the obvious, which I guess are already being worked on, like configurable right-side buttons, and the issues with the All Programs list.

Could you be more specific about the issues with the all programs list please.

I think I meant that it is not keyboard navigable.

I'm not sure if my post here led you to add the very nice Win8 style theme or if you already had such an obvious planned, but I am very glad you did it.

Hopefully you will also sort out the problems with keyboard navigation like I mentioned in this new post.
