This quick tips video will show you some of the key features of Start10 and the personalization settings you can use to customize your PC. Watch to see the Win 7 and Modern Start menu style options and configuration of the appearance settings. We'll cover:

Selecting the Modern style:

The Modern style takes the functionality that Windows users have grown used to and applies many of the "Modern" styling aspects Microsoft has established.

Creating a tiled icon grid and columns:

Start10 let's you display menu items in a grid pattern as well as the traditional menu layout. Set up as many as eight columns wide in order to display lots of icons! Add a texture or image to your background, plus emphasize tiled icons with borders as well.

Customizing your Start button, menu and taskbar:

Replace your Start button, add textures, assign images, and set transparency to your Start menu and taskbar. Change the taskbar's textures and background images or hide / customize the Start button altogether. Start10 comes with several selections for Start button icons, but there are also plenty of user-created options at WinCustomize.com. A full range of customization tools will let you enable taskbar transparency, shift the level of blur applied to your desktop backgrounds, and more.
