14 DAY TRIAL // Start8 is the latest Start Menu app that gets full support for Windows 8.1, so in case you’re already running Microsoft’s new OS, this is one of the apps that could make the UI more familiar.
Version 1.30 thus brings Windows 8.1 compatibility and comes with a new default Start button image, as well as with new features under the Control menu for “Start button shows Windows 8 menu unless docked” section.
“Windows 8-style start menu options are available on Windows 8.1 RTM. There are additional options for keeping the taskbar visible and defaulting to the Application view,” the developing team stated.
Last but not least, the new Start8 option also comes with self-contained menu skinning for both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, while WindowBlinds skins still work globally.
