    Under the settings, the Skin tab, I've got Show user picture and Show user name both checked. My user name is showing fine, but in place of the photo I selected, there's just a generic white silhouette against a dark background. If I click on this, the User Accounts control panel comes up, and I can see my photo there, but I just can't see it in the Start menu.

    Hi

    What Windows version are you using this GUI hack with as many changes to the native GUI may not work as you want, so not seeing your start menu photo could be one of those issues. These issues are non specific so may affect one user and not another.

    Only way to really display the user pic and thinking of Windows 7/8/10 is to use original software and settings, and not an add-on app, as user pic works for me in 7/8.1/10 fine.
