| Actually, Startisback doesn't necessarily depend on UXpatch (I think). You have to add the Msstyles file separately. Still, I would like the option for classic shell to support theme settings on the fly. Startisback is a good solution, but it doesn't have the kind of granular customization of classi... |

| well it is possible to add. Both Start10 and Startisback both have this feature, it just needs to be implemented. There is a free hack out there on deviantart if you want to see it yourself http://www.deviantart.com/art/Custom-Taskbar-for-Windows-10-Alpha-v1-1-0-571575905 EDIT: Actually the devianta... |

| What kind of organization do you work for that requires you to remove that menu? I don't understand who would restrict such a thing. And I thought my school was bad. |

| Yeah, Classic shell should have an open skinning api for much more customization in the start menu. This opens up the possibility not only for Vista skins, but community-made Gnome, KDE, and even Unity skins, all in Windows. Expand that to the taskbar and flyout options on the right and we could hav... |

| +1 for this feature. I didn't even think about it until I saw it just now. That looks pretty useful, although now that I think of it, Win+L also does that, but it's good for people who want to get to it through start. |

| Although with all the themes and tweaks for Windows 8.1, maybe that would be a good place to stay. The only thing missing from Windows 8.1 is the ability to disable the flyout, otherwise, it's a solid OS with years of community support. Sure metro apps are useless, but I don't have to use them. |

| Maybe, but I did install the drivers from the dell page and still had issues. All I know is that dealing with Bluetooth drivers on Windows 7 was a pain in the butt and it was resolved in at least 8.1 . I also had reduced battery life, so that was another good reason that made me switch. Maybe it was... |

| I would, but bluetooth support sucks on windows 7. I actually tried it, but made an annoying buzzing sound when playing audio on my LG tone+ headphones. That reason alone is what pushed me off Windows 7. Bluetooth headphones are just too useful. |

It's minor because it is fixed with compatibility mode for Windows 7, however it would be a major glitch otherwise, since it is so big at that resolution. Edit: No... |
