Aston2 Menu

Customizing the way the computer looks doesn’t have to resume to the theme, color scheme, wallpapers and screensavers. Aston2 Menu is a light utility that can help you alter the way the Windows Start menu looks.

The app comes with a few different skins that are constructed modularly, with components that can be used together or individually.

The utility keeps the Windows intuitive layout and further enhances the user-experience by letting you pick which units to include and by enabling you to add various new items, such as widgets.

Each skin is customizable. This means that the modules can be rearranged however you want and any menu items can be added or removed.

Apart from the regular personal document folders, Control Panel, My Computer and programs that can be accessed even from the default Microsoft Start menu, you can enhance your experience by adding widgets. By default, Aston2 Menu comes with gadgets that display the clock, calendar, Recycle Bin, weather and even a tool that provides hard disk easy access.

All the widgets are customizable. For example, for the weather tool, the metric system can be enabled and the town chosen. At the same time, the calendar widget supports the creation of various events or appointments, or the simple display of the date instead of the entire monthly calendar.

Changing the skin for the Start menu is extremely easy and the process only takes a few seconds. Additional skins are available online.

The app’s “Preferences” menu further enables you to customize the way the utility responds and looks. Thus, you can assign hotkeys, have the tool run at Windows startup, unlock widgets or choose one of the many supported languages.

Aston2 Menu is a great program that can change the way you use the computer and enhance it visually. The tool is easy to install and run, but inexperienced users might need a little time to discover all the customizing options available.
