Start10 settings page crashes when a large image is set as the back ground.

So this happened in the previous version, but since I didn't need to edit anything else, I didn't think much of it. With the new update, I wanted to change some settings and it still crashes. Now I know I can always re-install, but can't it support large images (1000x2500 3 MB in this case). It only crashes when I try to change the appearance, by clicking on the appearance option. Everything else works fine, just can't change it anymore.

That is strange, it may be the very tall bit that's causing it to be upset as trying some big images here (but wider than tall) works ok.

Unfortunately we were not aware of the issue hence not resolving it for 1.7.

Instead of reinstalling, you could instead just goto this location in the registry :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8 and delete the BackgroundImage key. This should let you open the config on that page again.

Thanks, I am able to edit again.
