    Thank you for your feedback!
    I really appreciate it.

    I don't agree about nag in the free version.
    There is no nag at all.
    There is a button to download Deluxe version.
    And it can be turned off using Unlimited configuration screen forever.

    Now we have glossy and metro skin of buttons.
    Also, you can replace PNG icons of metro skin by your own (files are in the Unlimited subfolder).

    I have purchased Vivo Note 8 tablet with Windows 8.1.
    It still has no power button on the Start Screen after spring update.
    The Start Screen is more useful on the tablet than desktop mode because of small items.
    This why we made attention on the tablet devices in version 2.0.
    Unlimited displays the power and wifi status that is very useful for tablet/laptop.

    I think that Start Screen is a good information screen but it is too bad tool to start applications.
    Start Screen Apps mode is not good. A lot of small icons. There is no strong position of a app to quickly click.

    We will improve it in the next versions.
    Also, I do not like UAC and I think it is useless.
    But a lot of people use it. But they also need to run apps with admins privileges.
    We have a way to start apps without UAC via Unlimited.
    It is useful for me and probably for others too.

    What do you mean "make their Start Screen tiles transparent"?

    That has nothing to do with your application, just something I would like to see developed for the Windows 8.1.1 start screen instead of having to look at the ugly colored tiles.

    OK! I see you.
    I also do not like it.
    Unfortunately, there is no chance that it will be changed.

    Have you tried the version 2.0?
    Did you install Unlimited under Program Files subfolder?
