Most likely replaces AccentBlur with it's own stuff

The ability to override AccentBlur was mentioned in #105.

Can confirm. Override AccentBlur makes context menus borderline unusable when using StartAllBack. It is a shame since the taskbar and start menu effects Override AccentBlur brings are really nice.

I wish StartAllBack had an option to disable the blur on legacy context menus to begin with. When I'm using my own msstyle theme I don't want to use their version of the context menus.

You can turn off the option to restore the classic context menu in StartAllback.
Then add the registry to bring back the classic right-click menu to your system.
Run cmd as administrator

reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & explorer.exe

Restore changes:

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & explorer.exe

The classic menu at the system level is without the blur effect.

Or you can add a registry entry or change "ImmersiveMenus"=0 to disable StartAllback's blurring effect.

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\StartIsBack /f /v ImmersiveMenus /t REG_DWORD /d 0
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & explorer.exe

Restore changes:

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\StartIsBack /f /v ImmersiveMenus /t REG_DWORD /d 1
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & explorer.exe
