hmm, the color option should tint it to a similar color as the theme color you get when you rightclick the desktop and choose personalize, then click color. Are you saying this isnt the case (aka if you were to choose red and add color it wouldnt give the menu a red tint)? If it is for some reason picking a color based on one of your previous task-bar colors and not your current one, my only guess would be classic shell for some reason isnt updating this information any more; try restarting classic start menu.exe running it as an admin, see if that fixes anything. otherwise post a screenshot, and ill see if we can get to the bottom of this "%20title="Razz"%20style="margin:%200px;%20padding:%200px;%20border:%20none;%20color:%20rgb(50,%2061,%2079);%20font-family:%20'Lucida%20Grande',%20'Trebuchet%20MS',%20Helvetica,%20Arial,%20sans-serif;%20font-size:%2012.800000190734863px;%20line-height:%2018.200000762939453px;%20background-color:%20rgb(236,%20236,%20236);[/img] thanks

im aware that there are some deviations with color intensity option between w7 and w8, which is the main reason for dark/gray/white options, because dark is generally better with w7/darker themes/taskbar colors, and light generally fits w8 better.

also glad to hear you still like/use it, ive been tempted (when i remade all the resources with light/dark/gray variation) to just dump the option altogether (or limit it to a single variation)


UPDATE: Removed the custom image option, although all the code is still there, you just have to remove the ; by it, and re-add a resource 31. mostly because it tripled the skins size just to have it , and i probably will make a breakaway skin.
Also added a bitmap mask to make the edges more defined when using the 'add color' option

no idea how 8.1 will affect classic shell, but chances are that it wont affect my skin, if classic shell runs fine my skin should to
