How to turn off Start Menu transparency?

from Stardock Forums

When using Start11 on a Windows 10 PC, how do I turn off Start Menu transparency?

The standard Control Panel has a transparency option, but that doesn't make a difference.

Is the control somewhere in Start11?

Thank you!

FWIW, I think transparency was working until the Windows update that was pushed last night. My PC is now on

You can change transparency by opening Start11 settings, go to the configure menu link and then click customize menu visual appearance and then adjust menu transparency.

Just for fun I tried this. The skin I have running is Tinder by Lightstar. It didn't change the transparency at all.

If you are running WindowBlinds then the transparency is controlled by the skin.
