How do you turn off acrylic blur? The top start menu is the screen shot of Naked Noir, the bottom start menu is what I am getting.

I found that if I turn down the transparency on the start menu takes away the blur effect and turning down the  transparency for the taskbar and title bar does nothing.

If you have problem updating using Object Desktop Manager. Please download it directly from https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/update and Install it.

I just upgrade mine. I switched to Naked Noir and checked the transparency. I was able to get rid of the blur in the start menu and the taskbar was unaffected, still can see through it.

The first one is Naked Noir loaded with no modifications. The second is modified with just the transparency sliders. The start menu and the taskbar are adjusted to about a 1/4 way to the left and the titlebar is set with full transparency.

Installed it on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. There does not appear to be any issues.
