Windownlinds 8 or Start8 Problem??

I have a feeling this might be Start8 getting confused about what mode you are in.  If you pick a brighter desktop wallpaper does the problem remain?

We plan an update for Start8 which addresses a few of the skinning quirks so hopefully we can reproduce it and fix it with that.

Neil,

Thanks for the response. I was not able to reproduce the problem today. All seems "normal". Not sure what is different. I tried with lighter background, brighter background, and same background. It just works right this evening. I will let you know if I see it again by re-posting in this thread.

hi when reboot and install windows blind 8 says uninstall windows 7, when I have uninstalled 7,every time please help

Problem had not re-presented this morning. This evening, however, is another story....

In this screenshot, notice a problem when using a lighter background (white is even worse)....

In the next one, you can see it's fine with a dark background....

Neil, if you are viewing this, have you been able to duplicate the problem? Is there a fix coming soon?

Thanks in advance!

Try the workaround posted in the OP of this thread: https://forums.wincustomize.com/446095/page/1/#3375549

It's worth a shot even though your issue is the start menu.

Nope - the workaround listed in the other thread did not work. I really hope this can be fixed. It's difficult to read my start menu, or at least the right hand panel. Anybody else having this problem with either a light background or when opening the start menu over something light, like a light  background in a browser or even just windows explorer file manager?

There is a new beta update to Start8. https://forums.wincustomize.com/446137/page/1/#3376041 You may want to give it a try.

Installed the beta update of Start8 and so far. so good. I'll see if it "sticks".
