This skin has been shared by our good friend “ Gaurav Kale” who is also a part of Classic Shell development team.

Today we are going to release a free skin for Classic Shell which will provide Windows 7 look-like Start Menu and Start button in Windows 8. If you are using Classic Shell in Windows 8 to get Start Menu and Start button back but not happy with its Start Menu UI and Start button look, here is something interesting for you.ĭid you know Classic Shell’s Start Menu is highly customizable and supports 3rd party skins and you can change Start button image using its Settings? On the other hand, Classic Shell provides a classic Start Menu and its own custom Start button in Windows 8. Start8 provides a combination of new Start Screen and classic Start Menu in Windows 8. ViStart already provides a Windows 7 look-like Start Menu and Start button in Windows 8.

We have shared a few freeware such as ViStart, Start8 and Classic Shell which help you in getting back Start button and Start Menu in Windows 8. Actually the new Start Screen has replaced the old Start Menu and Start button has been replaced by a hidden square thumbnail which appears when you move your mouse cursor to bottom-left corner of screen. We all know that Microsoft has completely removed “ Start button” and “ Start Menu” from Windows 8.
