Classic Shell: Forum

First off, thanks for this very convenient tool!

Here is the couple bugs:

While the taskbar override works well, my start menu will no matter what use the accent color from windows, the glass effect will not show up and its color has no effect.

Also the shadow option works but shows a 2px wide shadow, unlike the other shadows from the standard UI


Is there any way to adjust the amount of blur in the glass effect ?

If you are using the Metro skin in the Windows 7 style, that skin is an exception. It does not follow the glass color setting. It always follows the system accent color.

You can use any other skin with glass. You can switch skins from the Skin tab.

The Metro skin in Classic styles of the menu *does* support glass transparency. You can adjust the opacity of the glass using the "Glass opacity" setting on the Menu Look tab.

Thanks for the tip!

Starting with Classic Shell 4.2.5, the Metro and Midnight skins support transparency in both columns in Windows 7 style.
