This policy allows you to force the Start8 menu to appear solid rather than translucent.
The default behaviour of Start8 is to be solid, but setting this setting to disabled will make it match the taskbar translucency.
Due to the lack of blur support on Windows 8, it is recommended this setting is left enabled in order to make reading the menu easier.
If you do not configure this policy setting then it defaults to enabled and the Start8 start menu appears solid.
