Windows 10: Revamp Windows 11 Start Menu: Simple Mod Offers Desired Features

Windows 11 users seeking greater customization of their Start Menu have a new solution: the Windows 11 Start Menu Styler mod, available through the Windhawk platform. This mod offers a range of features designed to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the Start Menu, addressing limitations present in the default Windows 11 setup.

Developed by Michael Maltsev, Windhawk serves as a "customization marketplace" for Windows 11, hosting various mods that allow users to tailor their system's interface to their preferences. The Windows 11 Start Menu Styler is among the standout offerings, enabling users to apply themes, adjust layouts, and modify visual elements of the Start Menu.

Key features of the Windows 11 Start Menu Styler include:

• Themes: Users can select from a variety of integrated themes, such as "NoRecommendedSection," "SideBySide," and "TranslucentStartMenu," to alter the Start Menu's appearance.
• Customization Options: The mod allows for the removal of unwanted sections like the "Recommended" area, repositioning of the Power button, and adjustment of the Start Menu's transparency and color schemes.
• Cross-Module Compatibility: For a cohesive desktop experience, users can pair the Start Menu Styler with other Windhawk mods, such as the Windows 11 Taskbar Styler, to achieve a unified look and feel.

To install the Windows 11 Start Menu Styler mod, users should first download and install Windhawk from the official website. Once installed, navigate to the "Explore Mods" section within Windhawk, search for "Windows 11 Start Menu Styler," and proceed with the installation. After installation, the mod's settings can be customized to suit individual preferences.

It's important to note that while the mod offers extensive customization options, users should exercise caution and ensure they download Windhawk and its mods from reputable sources to maintain system security and stability.

For those interested in further personalization, the mod's community actively contributes new themes and customization ideas, which can be explored and implemented to continually refresh the Windows 11 Start Menu experience.

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?
