I was wondering if we have a way to customize the Start Orb/Button with this software? I downgraded to an older version because the newest one had a look that literally appears to be the Shell gasoline logo! At least with this version it simulates the Windows color scheme.

I am using Version 3.6.7. The current version is 3.6.8. but it has a blued out background with the Shell logo prominent.

Any suggestions or alternative open source solutions are welcome. If it were not for Classic Shell I would not be using Windows 8 at all. Thank you in advance for any help or advice!
