What am I doing wrong?

I installed Start8 and ModernMix, on 30 day trial.  I click on the start button, and I see what I saw before I installed them. A list of my apps in modern format.  How do I get Start8 to work?  I didn't see any help facility.  Sorry, but this newbie isn't getting it.  Is there something I need to set/unset with navigation properties?

Have you searched your PC for Start8 yet? Lets start there and once you find it, see if it's displayed on your taskbar.

I know. Not enough information.  I search on start8 from my list of applications.  It's there.  When I launch it, it  brings up the Stardock Start8 Configuation. On the left navigator there are selections for  Style, Configure, Control, Desktop and About.   But I see no action to actually save the configuration settings, no ok, no cancel, no actions.   What's next?

Once you set the settings they change, no need to click a save button. Did you change the button to Default, Custom or Start8?

I had as default.  When I change to Start8, I see the icon changing.  When I click the icon it goes to a list of my applications with the "modern" look, not the Start8 look.  I'm about to just uninstall and give up.  I can probably live without this software, although I'm sure it has helped others.

It sounds like you have it set to windows 8 mode, not Windows 7 look,  This is on the main page.  Click on the left hand picture.
