I thought win10 had an expanded start menu. That look s like win7. Confused.
That's Start10.
Could I see a screenshot without Start10 running? Thanks.
Awesome
WB10 is working nice on 8.1 and no problems with Start8.
Likely, like with Windows 8.1, without Start10, you'll get an unskinned Windows10 start menu.
Edit: Yes, I checked. Non skinned Win10 menu, which is to be expected.
Xp had a startmenu- It was being skinned.
Win 7 had a startmenu- It was being skinned.
Win 10 has a startmenu.....why do we need start 10 ??? Hmmm...
Hopefully Sks 10 will have a Startmenu area for skinning the win 10 startmenu just like it used to be for XP & 7
The Win10 startmenu is not designed to be skinned and is not theme aware.
Thanks guys for checking and the info.

My Windows 10 start menu is skinned just fine Jim, Using the new Start 10 1.08. I get the actual skin start menu. I have it set to Windows 7 menu in Start 10 though.
Yes, Tom. Mine too, WITH Start10. DaveRI was wanting to see it WITHOUT Start10, in which case, it isn't skinned.
Yep, we're all good. I wasn't sure how all this was fitting together.
I never had any reason to pay attention to the Start8/10 line until, well, today
-Question 2 from me. Can you create an option/feature just like you can choose Win 7 style, for start 10 so it looks like the "native" Win 10 Start menu ?
That feature is already there Andy, just select the Windows 10 menu in Start 10. I tested it in Windows 10 and it works.
Is it skinned with "Tiles" on the right hand side ?
Yes, but not skinned, it is the normal Windows 10 start menu.
So the Feature that we all want (??) is for Start 10 to have a feature with it skinned With Tiles on the right.
According to Neil, that is not possible Andy.
EEwwww. I wouldn't want that anyway. Screw the tiles.
Thanks Stardock, works fine for me
That's ridiculous strategy,for me it's ok as long there is a start 10 studio builder but what about new users?New users will not buy windowblinds 10 if ever they found out that WB10 start menu will not skinned the menu of win 10.
Me like my windows 10 tiles. Skinning would be great.
I think he's referring to what might be doable with updates to Start10, not the native Win10 start menu (the one Neil reports is not theme aware).
The ridiculous strategy is Microsoft's.
Since post Windows 7 Microsoft has dumbed-down the OS GUI so it looks 'OK' [their opinion] on a small form-factor Windows Phone [that no-one uses] to the detriment of [almost] ALL their Customer base who actually don't use Windows on anything other than a standard PC.
Their mistake...their heads rolled....
IN SPITE of Microsoft, Stardock has managed to enable skinning/sanity/recognizable-usable GUI for all...
