The right click menus are having an overhaul visually in the next update and I think they should be more visually appealing.  This is them in light mode.

The scrolling on the lists is not currently being smoothed but again will be in the next update.  Some mice send smoothed input, but some do not and so will currently scroll in jumps.

It is true the controls do not tilt when clicked.  This wasn't considered a priority but if there is sufficient demand we can probably add it in.

Fans of Windows 10 style are fans of modern Windows, not "classic Windows". For the old-fashioned users, they reject the start menu of Windows 10, hoping to return to Windows 7 or earlier. -And for the supporters of the Windows 10 menu,-if I remember correctly, this design has won the IDSA award-without a doubt, this is the best start menu in the history of Windows.

It is assembled in one page

1Account management and computer power

2User folders and settings

3 List of all programs

4Custom shortcuts (and include grouping functions)

This is the most comprehensive function, the lowest level (only one level!), the most efficient one-time start menu (although the cursor movement distance is increased when the width is larger), smooth design, modern appearance and technology (framework: UWP control, language : XAML), extremely high response speed, this is the reason why we love it.

And Windows is a tribute to Android. I don't deny that it caters to the mobile interface in order to build a unified experience. After all, Windows Phone and Windows Mobile are gone. But the grouping function is gone, the lower half of the interface is placed in the meaningless "recently used" (can not be closed yet, closed still occupies the general space), all programs are in the second level. Oh my god, what's this up? But this does not mean that we deny its modern technology and appearance.

When I use the lagging and retro WPF or other technology to build the start menu, I have to feel that it is better to put up with Windows 11's own start menu than this.

So is it a appearence built by XAML island or WinUI Library?

Yes, they are all Win32, so you have to work very hard to achieve the animation consistent with the system. Imitation is very, very difficult. If there is a direct way, why not use it? Using the Windows UI library or XAML island, you can get everything at once-smooth scrolling, reval effects, various animations, consistent menu styles that are exactly the same as the system, without worrying about copyright issues, and the same hovering effect. You can indeed simulate all of this on Win32, but why do you want to do this? Does Start 11 need to provide a Windows 10 menu on Windows 7?
