Background  is Start Menu > Menus > Basic > Toolbar image in 7 maybe in SIB which I don't use

You can't change those black textcolors

Well Start Menu > Menus > Basic > Toolbar > Button > Normal also works.

But if you don't have the toolbar location or that doesn't work for some reason then you probably don't have the button either....

Well the start menu template I used was one of the styles included in Start is back Plain8.msstyle  the only sections I can edit are under Start Menu > Panels > Aero/Basic

Its just really strange how its loading that menu BG from nowhere..

Actually 2 and 3 are Fonts & System Metrics > WINDOWTEXT:COLOR



I don't know why that's not showing for you. Try restarting Explorer for it to show.

I'm not using 8 anymore. But I plugged your colors into 7 and got this:





So I don't know what's going on. Maybe somebody else will test and find your problem. Sorry.

 The strange thing is, the menu bg loads if I use a windows 8 based theme as the main msstyle ans select it to load the start meu from theme in sib. But if I load a 8.1 theme, the menu does not load from the theme.

8.1 theme:


Loading Windows 8 theme in windows style build and selecting to load the start menu theme from msstyle in sib:

You could try Grim's stylehack for getting the Start Menu in 8.1 attached here:

http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2202.msg12797#msg12797

Maybe it'll load the menus.

I don't know because I don't use SIB but it MIGHT solve your problem
