Once you install StartIsBack, the first place to have a look at is the configuration screen and the appearance section. In Windows 10, the Start menu is officially back, but StartIsBack still serves as a neat option to get the familiar design back, so if you love the Windows 7 Start menu, this app really comes in handy. StartIsBack was designed from the very beginning with one goal in mind: bring back the familiar Start menu in modern Windows, so the app really experienced terrific success in Windows 8 and 8.1. Windows 10 does bring some changes in terms of looks and customization options, but it still lacks some of the settings that users want to make their desktops a little bit more eye-candy, including an option to make the taskbar completely transparent.įortunately, third-party apps come to the rescue this time too, so if you want to configure full transparency for the taskbar, StartIsBack is the application that you need on Windows 10.Īs you can see in the screenshots below, the app comes with many more tweaks, including unread counters for the email and other notification badges, but for now, let’s just focus on the taskbar transparency and see how to get it.
