Feature Request - Option to Disable blur in Start menu to match Taskbar setting and decrease opacity beyond 62%.

It would be nice to have the option to disable the blur in the Modern style Start menu to match the corresponding setting for the Taskbar. The difference between the Start menu's blur and the Taskbar's simple transparency is visually jarring. Also, Having the option to change the Start Menu's opacity all the way down to 0% would be nice. Currently it's capped between 62-100%, while the Taskbar can go all the way between 0-100%.

I'd like this as well.

The reason for capping the transparency to 62% is below that and the menu becomes very unreadable. The taskbar has nothing below it usually other than the wallpaper, but the start menu may be opening over anything depending on the windows open at the time.

That depends on the color of the Start menu and what's behind it. Even at 25% transparency, a light/medium grey color will darken the background just enough for the white text of the menu to be easily readable. That's true even of a white background. Regardless, It would still be nice to have the option. I like being able to make those decisions myself. The reason I chose to buy Start10 over using the free Classic Shell is because Classic Shell is too heavy handed in it's assumption of what people want out of it. More options are always better.
