The parts you´re referring too are "Expanded startmenue". Take them away or skin your own.

And -In Skinstudio go to "Top part/extra settings"-tab down there  & Change the Expansionvalue, it controls how much the startmenue widens when mousing over those little arrows.

I personally always set them to Zero as I don´t like mine to move at all.

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS......LOL  Anyway I got the background to change the color but when I do the text changes to and I can not see anything in the list

Down In the bottom you have a Tab for "Text", If you  Want to change the color of your text on the startmenu, do that from "Programslist" / "Text" Tab only
