Create a personalized Start menu and make it even better with the onboard configuration tools in Start10.

Changing out colors, applying textures, and enabling filtered searches are just a few ways that Start10 blends the best of what you're looking for when launching your favorite applications.

This quick tips video will show you some of the key features of Start10 and the personalization settings you can use to customize your PC. Watch to see the Win 7 and Modern Start menu style options and configuration of the appearance settings. We'll cover:

Selecting the Modern style:





The Modern style takes the functionality that Windows users have grown used to and applies many of the "Modern" styling aspects Microsoft has established.

Creating a tiled icon grid and columns:

Start10 let's you display menu items in a grid pattern as well as the traditional menu layout. Set up as many as eight columns wide in order to display lots of icons! Add a texture or image to your background, plus emphasize tiled icons with borders as well.

Customizing your Start button, menu and taskbar:



Replace your Start button, add textures, assign images, and set transparency to your Start menu and taskbar. Change the taskbar's textures and background images or hide / customize the Start button altogether. Start10 comes with several selections for Start button icons, but there are also plenty of user-created options at WinCustomize.com. A full range of customization tools will let you enable taskbar transparency, shift the level of blur applied to your desktop backgrounds, and more.
