Start8 is an application for returning the classic Start button to Windows 8. You can configure the visual appearance of the menu. Several other Modern UI graphical elements are customizable as well.

Main purpose

Multiple visual themes are available. There is a checkbox for disabling menu transparency. The image for the Start button itself can be customized as well. Supported file formats include BMP and PNG.

Please note that the free trial version of Start8 will expire 30 days after installation.
