Themes and Start Menu

How to Apply to the classic Start Menu

from Stardock Forums
Hi, I downloaded a lot of themes, which also change the skin of the START menu, but it does it only if the Start Menu is in the "XP" mode (where it has got two columns), and not if it is in the classic mode (only one column). How can i apply the style (background color/image, ...) to the classic Start Menu?

Here there are two images to better explain: in the first the theme correctly applies with the purple background, ...; the second image shows the menu in che classic mode (only one column), without any kind of style applied: I usually use the start menu in the classic style, but i would like to have the purple background (in the example): any ideas??? Thx a lot

Bichur is correct..... the Classic startmenu cannot be skinned, nor can the icons be changed.

As I thought

And isn't there a way to "reduce" the XP start menu to che classic, I mean a way to reduce it to just one column and to put the "All Program" to the top like the classic one? (sorry 4 the stress ).

Skin studio maybe or a moving request if none of the blinds captured that look - I haven't seen any - doesn't mean it doesn't exist - but I'm not sure about that part - - possibly done that way in a DXTheme.
