Nice graphics, Andy. However, I'll pass. I don't think a full screen start menu is for me.
I'm sure some will love it!

I went there once but was too drunk to remember how I got there or how I got home.
However, I think it looked something like that... and I liked it.
Yeah, very nice graphics and attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing more.

Dammit, submitted once and it didn't seem to go up... then when I submit again [what I think is the first time] there's a second post.

Hmm... my screens (laptop & desktop monitor) aren't big enough for that! But tis beautiful.
Fantastic work Andy.

As you know, I like dark themes, and that blue is just perfect, so yeah, it is very much my cup of tea.
As for the full start screen menu, I don't know that I'd mind too much once it was collapsed into the task bar and the desktop was visible. I'm guessing that's how it'd be, so yeah, I could handle it with icons to match the theme and no looking gawky tiles. That's what I hated about the Win 10 default Start Menu. I just want a regular setup without all those live tile things that show advertising and stuff I have no interest in.
Yup, I could really see this theme on my most recent setup, being I just picked up a 32" UHD TV on special for 280 bucks Oz. It cost much, much less than a similar sized PC monitor, and I'll be hooking it up to my big beasty in the next day or so to use as my primary screen, with my 27" monitor beside it, using a dual armed desk-mount to save desk space.
Anyway, it's past my bedtime by several hours and I gotta get some shuteye before my daughter comes to pick me up to go shopping for groceries, etc.

I'll probably try it, if I can, after bills are paid. Just out of curiosity. Damn nice gfx.

Temptation is sometimes hard to ignore. If and when I can I'm going for it. Just to try something very different. My laptop is 15"

I'm using my old tv as a monitor (27") for my desktop. Thing is, it only wants to show the desktop set at 1024x768. If I try it at a larger setting, my left side icons are almost invisible, Winstep is so small I can hardly click it, and NextStart (top dock) is flickering. Right side icons (Xtreme) are also so far to the right, it's hard to click them. Any one know how to get it to let me have it set to the recommended setting(1280x720)?

Full screen menu is fine... but done already of course.
But flat text on a perspective'd menu.. well, it just doesn't work.
