2 things, why is it not fully compatible, as in not fully functional w/all aspects of the Classic XP menu as stated in the FAQ? & Why can you only use the Luna theme? Just curious is all. Might it be possibl;e to make a patch to that in the next or upcoming releases? & also will this software work in ALL versions & variations of Win 7? & what about Win 8 too? to make the Classic XP menu that is? & same goes for the Windows Explorer prog & I.E. too?

The functionality of the XP menu is very different from both Classic and Windows 7 menus. That's why what you get from Classic Shell is not exactly 100% identical to the XP menu. The closest you can get is if you use the 2-column classic menu with Luna skin.
Classic Shell supports all versions of Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, and IE 9, 10 and 11.

What do you miss from the XP Start Menu that isn't there in Classic Shell? I can think of no feature that is radically different or missing. Maybe only "Personalized Menus" feature is not there, the layout of few buttons like Shutdown/Logoff is different and the MFU algorithm rules are different, but that's because of the operating system on which it runs.
