To start, here’s my Start Menu in Win10 when I have a rich, autumn-color background image:
In the brave new world of Windows 10, it’s Microsoft that’s gone one better, having the system automatically analyze the desktop wallpaper, pick the predominant color, and use that for both the newly restored Start Menu and the Taskbar itself.ĭon’t like this feature? You can still turn the feature off and pick your favorite color as part of the theme! In the Mac world, it’s the menu bar that is “translucent” and so ends up reflecting the color of the image below it. Apple was the first to have an OS that had the color of its system elements reflect the predominant color of the background.
