Let us know in the comments whether you like the Winaero Skin Pack for Classic Shell and show us how your Windows 8 desktop and Classic Start Menu look with this skin. Winaero Skin Pack for Classic Shell is a set of settings plus a skin we created at Winaero so the Start Menu component of Classic Shell better matches the Windows 8 look. Obviously, you will need the Start Menu component of Classic Shell installed before installing this. This skin pack is the first version for the Classic style of the menu. For the newer Windows 7 style of the menu added in Classic Shell 4.0, get the version 2.0 of this skin from the link at the top of this page. Q. What does this Skin Pack include A. Winaeros Skin Pack 1.0 for Classic Shell includes a.SKIN file for Classic Shells Start Menu, a.REG (registry) file containing optimized set of settings, and 2 PNG images of the Windows 7 Start ButtonOrb, for large and small taskbar sizes. Download the ZIP file, extract and start the installer. Q. Why did Winaero create this Skin Pack What is the advantage over the default look of Classic Shell A. The skins shipping as part of Classic Shell do not match the look of the Windows 7 Start Menu or the style of Windows 8. Many settings also need to be heavily tweaked to get a more closer look. We tried to match the look on Windows 8 while making some changes from the Windows 7 style. For example, the skin has square corners, not rounded corners, like Windows 8 has. Also, because Windows 8 no longer has blur or glow, the glass is replaced by simple transparency, just like the Windows 8 taskbar uses. Semi-transparent Start Menu without blur makes the content behind it much harder to read, so we made the skin with very subtle transparency, that keeps the content behind it readable. Q. Which version of Classic Shell do I need for this Skin Pack to work correctly A. Because, as of this writing the latest version of Classic Shell is 3.6.6, this Skin Pack is expected to work properly on 3.6.6 and later. Q. How do I install the Winaero Skin Pack for Classic Shell A. Download the ZIP file and extract the installer EXE anywhere. The installer will automatically close Classic Shells Start Menu, install the skin and settings and then prompt you to restart Classic Start Menu. Q. Is this Skin Pack usable on Windows 7 A. No, this Skin Pack is designed only for Windows 8 and matches the look only on that OS. On Windows 7 or Windows Vista, using this Skin Pack can lead to unpredictable look and behavior. Q. What things does this Skin Pack change in Classic Shell Why does it need to change my Classic Shell settings A. In order to get a closer look of the Windows 7 Start Menu, not only do the skin bitmaps have to be changed, but some settings in Classic Shell also need to be different from what the defaults are.
