Hi, I've just installed CS on Win 10 RTM cos I don't like the new start menu, I prefer the old XP one...
I'm using Metro skin and I disabled the customize taskbar option to keep the original transparency but I'm going mad trying to obtain the original blurry transparency on start menu! It uses Windows colors, please check my pics to understand clearly what I mean :-/
Any help, please?

So from the pics it is not clear to me. Do you want to lose the color and make it black? Or do you want to adjust the transparency/blur level or do you want plain transparency without any blur/glass effect?

There is a "Menu opacity" setting on Windows 10. Or instead of the Metro skin, you could try using "Smoked Glass" or "Full Glass" skins which have options to remove the glass color.
