So in about a weeks time i will release my first "Donation" software! mStartEX!
Ok, so to help cover the cost of the site, i am going to do an evil thing.
in the options there will be a "Paypal" button. Why?
because the "normal" version of mStartEX will have normal features, although a bit limited. If you use the PayPal and donate anything more than $1.00 USD (Now thats cheap!) I will personally email you a Good Forever Or Until The World Ends "unlock" code that will unlock more advanced features.
The current unlock features will be (at this time)
True Metro Tiles (for both normal AND full screen)
Choose Side Alignment (Left or Right)
Icon Skinning
Full Screen mode
Availability to list and download "premium" Orb Skins from inside the App.
The chance to list a "+" menu item... you can choose up to 5 folders, clicking the "+" does a menu of the names. click a name to "metro list" the folder's items.
Also with planned items of:
Animated Start Orbs (not just highlight effects!)
(and whatever else i can think of)
...
Yes, a lot of those are in the normal "beta", but truly, i am only doing this to support myself. Anyway, now i am doing a site AND adding in the "paypal" features. so yeah, a few more days.
And if any one wants to help out with a website, if you submit by email, PM or whatever, if you submit a site design and i like it, AND YOU CAN CODE IT FOR ME, you get a Free unlock code + first download of the app! Pass this info along to who ever you want!
mStartEX is a some-what "Metro" styled start menu that shoud, and does, work on any windows from XP to the up and coming Windows 8. Windows 8 removes the "Normal" Windows XP/Vista/7 Start Menu, and replaces it with a Start Screen. By using mStartEX you can get back, by my app, a new and improved Start Menu... or if you want a Windows 8 like Metro Start Screen you can use this on XP, Vista or 7!
Here is just two of like, 100's of screen caps i have!

Top - Normal Start Menu
Bottom = Fullscreen mode

the "True Metro" mode, where the mini-tiles, as seen above, look more like the real "Metro" Windows 8 tiles.
Any one is free to design and submit an entry for a website, if i choose it, you get a free key to the app... as long as you can code what you designed!
