    White boxes behind text in start menu after adding a picture...


    Okay, been playing around with Vista Style Builder, and got an image into my start menu which I'm quite happy with. It works just fine when I open the start menu normally, but as soon as I click on "All Programs", the program folders and apps all have a white background behind them that stretches across the field, covering the entire image (and yes, I did replace the standard start menu left box with the picture, i can see it on the borders of the start menu. I've been trying to look around, and I've prolly just missed it, but how do I get rid of these boxes so I can see the picture just like I can in the normal start menu with the recently used and pinned items?

    Edit: somehow missed that it appears around the "All Programs" box as well, just a lot of white space...
    Edit 2: Wow, can't believe I forgot to do that... sorry about, that. This is the problem area. You can see the picture in the bottom, as well as the top of the box. However, the white background behind all the text covers up the rest of the image, except in the search bar, for whatever reason.

    Welcome to the Seven Forums
    As far as I know the all programs area will not accept an image it is a fill color at Explorer & Shell > Explorer > TreeView > FILLCOLOR:COLOR
