Ok, what you are looking for is a theme, and unfortunately the classic theme doesn't come with windows 10 (only windows 8, and maybe 7). So its not quite as easy to get the rest of windows to look that way (though it can be done, it does involve patching system files, which is something I wouldn't recommend) |

Jcee please for give me and I hope you will help me with the set up if I get what I am and seeing in the video is classic theme is grey and blue then install on Windows 10 t I know as in the video shows the srart menu will not be grey and blue like the video shows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9gH5ksjhnw using Classic Shell windows 7 or 8 start menu ? |

The start menu will look the same as in that video, however the background and windows wont be gray like on windows 95. Classic shell only touches the start menu and the taskbar when it comes to theme. |

Jcee for give me not technical I am starting to get how it works if I use 95 xml menu and classic theme it would look like the video the start menu would look like the way it was installed no color changes ? |
|
| Author: | Jcee [ Fri Sep 11, 2015 3:51 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Help Needed Windows Classic shell Please ? |
Yes you need the classic theme to have the rest of the look, and unlike with classic shell, it involves potentially dangerous changes to your system files, which isnt something I would recommend to anyone not experienced enough to fix their computer, should they do something wrong. |

| Post subject: | Re: Help Needed Windows Classic shell Please ? |
No but, you can play around with all the settings. nothing there is going to break or damage your system, so you can always just re-load one of the xml files I gave you to re-set everything back to how it was Just right click the button and pick settings; then anything in that window is safe |

Do you mean this look? just load the attached .xml Or you can check the circle above that says 'classic style' and then maybe change the theme in the themes tab

Oh you mean from the video.. As i told you that theme is not available on windows 10, only windows 7 and windows 8. The only way to get it is through somewhat 'risky' methods. |

The theme doesn't change things like what happens when you hover over an icon. It only changes visuals. I've attached a screenshot of MY desktop with the theme activated. If your looks particularly different, then Something was likely done incorrectly. Most likely the installation of the theme patcher If it was installed Incorrectly. I could try installing it myself through https://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx This will allow me to directly control your computer.

Jcee yes I know we did it like your screenshot it looked ugly so am going to use the XML you gave me you gave me 95 windows 7 Xp do you have 2000 and 8 xml ? |
|
| Author: | Jcee [ Wed Sep 16, 2015 8:31 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Help Needed Windows Classic shell Please ? |
Thats fine Personally I dont like it either, but it is the closest you can get to the older look. As for windows 2000's menu looked quite similar to 95. So I would basically recommend the same .xml for both..As for windows 8 style, You dont even need classic shell for it. http://www.windowscentral.com/how-enable-full-screen-start-menu-windows-10-insider-preview-desktop-mode If you want to continue using classic shell with it, tell your tech to: Right click start button>Settings>Show All settings>Controls From there you can pick which shortcuts open which menu |
