Well, I didn't take time to try how it would behave changing this simple setting, but if you peek into, for instance, StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr, you'll find that :

Code:
<Form Width="480" Height="800">
  <StartMenu_GridScene ID="Scene">

  <GridView ID="Start Menu Items List" Top="0" Left="0" Width="480" Height="696" Columns="3" Scrollable="TRUE" HexagonGrid="TRUE" HorizontalWrapAround="TRUE">
     <Image ID="Selection" Left="0" Top="-30" Width="192" Height="158" Source=".\StartMenu_Selection.png" />
     <Layer ID="GridItem"  Width="192" Height="166" OnAction ="GridItemAction">
        <Layer ID="Normal">
                <Image ID="Image" Left="51"  Top="4" Width="90" Height="90" ScaleStyle="Fit" />

                <Text  ID="Text"  Left="18" Top="98" Width="156" Height="68" FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="7" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Wrap="True" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter" ForeColor="#00FFFFFF" BackColor="#00000000" />
        </Layer>
    </Layer>

   <Layer ID="NoItems">
       <Text ID="Text" Width="480" Height="40" FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="10" ForeColor="#00FFFFFF" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Trimming="Character" InnerTextType="Resource">shellres.dll,22596</Text>
   </Layer>

  </GridView>

  </StartMenu_GridScene>
</Form>
Notice the HexagonGrid="TRUE" setting : I guess it has something to do with the icons setup. ;)

Well, for some reason, it doesn't seem to work : the Start menu then doesn't even launch !

Why is there such an option to set it to "TRUE" or "FALSE" in these files, while it actually doesn't work at all if you put them to "FALSE", is still one of those mysteries Microsoft has the secret... :D

Nice app. Can't believe I didnt come across it earlier.

Btw, if you're still watching this thread, could you make a 'change log' stating whats the difference between 1.0a and 1.3

- Installed and using v1.3

    KNOWN PROBLEMS
    1. No effect after reset
      • You ROM uses custom GridScene that was setup in registry. I have not yet got any answer on Chefs thread about setting this up. So if you have any idea, please share.
      • This registry key has something to do with it "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartMenu] "CustomGridForm"="StartMenuCust"
