#191 Metro Start Menu color does not match taskbar

[bxv]

Hi, I'm using Classic Shell on Windows 8. For Start Menu Style, I choose Windows 7 style, and for the skin, I choose Metro, but the Metro Start Menu does not automatically change to match the color style of the task bar. It remains blue no matter what color the task bar changes to. This bug was in version 3.6.1, and it's still in version 3.6.2. The other skins (Windows Aero, Windows Basic, Smoked Glass, Full Glass) all changes color automatically to match the task bar's color. Please fix, and thanks for making life easier on Windows 8.

This is not a bug. The Metro skin is not designed to change with the taskbar color. To function correctly, the skin needs a whole set of matching colors, for the main background, the text, the selection, the various frames and separators. It is not possible to auto-generate a matching set just based on a single system color.

In the latest version, the Metro skin finally follows the Metro/Start screen color.
