Another Start8 feature request. (SOLVED (kinda))

Monday, January 20, 2014 by Snowman | Discussion: Object Desktop

Would it be possible to add this feature to Start8:

What should the Start button look like?
"None/blank"

Currently we have three options: Default, Start8 and Custom image.
It's not always that any of these option go well with the Windowblinds applied, thus it would be nice to use the one supplied with the WB - which as far as I know isn't possible at the moment.

Couldn't you make a blank PNG start button for Start 8 to resolve this one maybe Snowie? Never tried myself, but might be possible I am sure.

Can the custom image just be a fully transparent .png?

EDIT: Dang it, Tom beat me to it.

WB settings,  make sure the box for Always use the OS start button rather than the theme one is unchecked, it will then use the WB start button. (Make sure you apply changes after unchecking)

"Currently we have three options: Default, Start8 and Custom image"  These options will then be greyed out in Start8

Thanks, ID. I can't get ImageShack to work right since that site last updated. Such is progress.

Doesn't work here. Box is checked in WB but I'm still able to change buttons in Start8.
