Win8.1 Start Menu Software 8StartButton experience

1win8.1 Start Menu: Support for Metro's Start menu

Although Win8 has been released for a long time, there are still a lot of people love the traditional Start menu, which Start8, startisback, such as a large number of Start menu to retrieve software work. However, the most surprising is that, since entering the Win8.1 era, many classic Start menu recovery software has been unable to continue to use (such as START8), more and more homogeneous software design also gradually let people griping at everything. But since I accidentally met a small rookie 8StartButton suddenly found, in fact, there are always good things, but they did not find it!

Speaking of the biggest aspect of 8StartButton, I think this is the six-color flower shortcut menu. In short, when you click the Start button, the software first pops up a row of circle buttons rather than the traditional Start menu. Although a step more choice, but the actual trial is also good, the circle of many functions, restart, logoff, shutdown, search, Metro Start menu, and so readily available, the most critical is the Support button customization and icon one key replacement.

Of course, do not like it also does not matter, right-click button Select "left mouse click shows" and then click "8StartButton Start Menu" is the standard start menus.

The Start menu is familiar, but it has more Win8 flavor. To tell you the truth, this is probably the most matching Win8 style of the author encountered a menu. The left side is the essence of the entire menu, divided into "Start Menu", "Start Tiles", "recent Docs" and "UPGRADE". One of the "Start menu" is best understood, is the previous Start menu version, in addition to the common applications, here is also a summary of the various installed Metro applications, click to use.

"Start tiles" is a magnetic label that is more likely to show those system-level operations (such as Control Panel, network settings, etc.) than the previous Start menu. And as its name shows, here is a major feature of the direct use of the form of magnetic paste, because the magnetic paste relative to occupy the place, so many squares are designed to be superimposed modules, every few seconds automatically switch.

As with the software itself, you can also use the right button to modify the magnetic paste, or even remove the second function. But what needs to be specially stated is that this is only a premium version of the function, the standard version does not support.

"Recent Docs" is the most recent use of the document, which, of course, is nothing to say, indeed a function that is not available in the Win8 Metro menu. The right key supports a single cleanup and full cleanup of the project, as well as a linked folder display.

Below the menu is another set of commendable places that feel like a miniature of the taskbar's Quick Start button, which enables you to quickly start daily functions by placing some common programs. However, as with the magnetic paste modification, here is also the toll edition function, Free edition is uncertain.

As for other functions on the basic and traditional desktop, providing a key search, a key shutdown (including restart, logoff, lock, etc.), one key to run the three modules. It is worth mentioning that its one-click operation, in addition to supporting users to manually enter the command line, there are several additional built-in commands (such as Device Manager, Registry Editor, management tools, etc.), easy to use.

Of course, there are some other interesting games for 8StartButton, such as you can go to the option → "General settings" Check "Hide the Windows 8 Start area when working on the desktop "Let Win8 start menu to show translucent effect, not good looking for a while, in short, you can see the desktop file (in fact, I estimate this should be with 8.1 system compatibility problem, the author should be hidden Win8 start button)."

Or go to "button settings" to modify the icon or color of the default button. Furthermore, with the lower left corner of the menu button, hide the watermark or adjust the transparency of the Start menu. And the most can not forget is that it supports right click to open the shortcut menu (with some common system modules), have to say this and Win8 hidden menu really like!

Overall 8StartButton performance is good, six color flower shortcuts is undoubtedly its biggest point, but also the current and Windows 8.1 compatibility of the best menu retrieve software.

As for the regret author also briefly said two, the most obvious is that there is no Chinese language, and the default font rendering does not seem very good. Furthermore, it is not normal to hide the original Windows 8.1 Start button, but the actual operation does not have any effect, put the icon in the lower left corner of the pop-up Win8 original menu, click the icon Center is activated is the 8StartButton menu, familiar after also calculate reluctantly accepted.

In short this is a comprehensive strength of the Start menu to find software, if you feel that the above introduction of the problem you can accept, you may wish to download a try it.
