Classic Shell: Forum

Hello, I have a few questions about the Shell classic bar. First off I'd like to say thank you, this is a great idea and it gives users who were used to growing up with the classic start menu their whole lives a re-imagined version in windows 10.

I have some images to help give a better picture with my problem: http://imgur.com/a/gebxM the first problem being the colour of the start menu is not the same colour as the default black task bar at the bottom. As shown in the second image, I set it to the correct colour and it is still using the windows set colour I chose for now. I was looking at this topic: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4817 but I don't understand what they mean or where to go to change these settings. Second, (not shown in the images) my start menu touches the top of my screen when I don't want it too. Is there anyway to fix this? (Just list multiple options or ways to fix this and I will try them all)

Thank you! - Jack

Try this skin since you are on Windows 10: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4934

The start menu doesn't match the Glass color because you are not using a glass skin. Only glass-based skins like Aero use the glass color. You have selected the Metro skin, which follows the Metro colors from Windows. You can change them from the Windows personalization settings.

The menu touches the top of the screen because you have selected a large number of menu items. Reduce the setting "Minimum menu height" in the Main Menu tab.
