Hello. I searched the forums about my problem but really couldn't find what I really expect. So I decided to create a topic about it.

My problem is basicly about changing background of the start menu. It is pure white and really annoys me. Is there a way to put a picture instead of this white background without changing the them?

I can help you with customizing the background of your Start Menu in Windows without changing the theme. To achieve this, you can use a feature called "Color and Appearance" settings. Here's how you can do it: 1. Access Color and Appearance Settings: - Right-click on the desktop and select "Personalize." - In the Settings window, choose "Color" from the left sidebar. - Scroll down, and you should see an option that says "Choose your accent color." - Below this, click on "Show a color on Start, taskbar, and action center." 2. Customize Start Menu Background: - Toggle off the option for "Show color on Start, taskbar, and action center." - This will allow you to set a custom background for the Start Menu. 3. Set a Custom Picture: - You can set any picture as the background by choosing the "Custom color" option. - Click on the "+" icon to select a picture from your computer. 4. Adjust Transparency: - You can also adjust the transparency level of the Start Menu using the "Transparency effects" toggle under the same color settings. By following these steps, you can customize the background of your Start Menu with a picture without changing your overall theme. This should help you personalize your Windows experience to your liking. Let me know if you need further assistance!
