Classic Shell: Forum

I wouldn't like Windows 7 without classicshell, and I'd almost consider using windows 8 with classicshell, without it, never. I put classicshell on every computer I use and I will continue to do so as long as possible.

Windows 7 is now more customizable than windows XP, which is a refreshing change to the trend that microsoft has been on.

For the task bar, this is probably beyond your scope of work, but if I were able to put the start menu, system tray, and quick launch on one task bar and the "window buttons" that show which windows are open on another, that would be awesome.

Also it would be sort of cool if you merged some features from Windows 7 Taskbar Tweaker in to classicshell (i.e., disabling jump lists and those annoying popup window preview images); I think if you did that it would make classicshell the complete package to get back the features that windows 7 has removed.

Also in explorer it would be great if I could get rid of the "organize", "share with", etc. bar (I don't need it), and be able to move the address bar and back/forward buttons around vertically so I can put the window in this order: title, menu bar, classicshell toolbar, then address bar. I don't understand why Microsoft decided to change the order of those menus for 7

By "Start menu on one taskbar and open window buttons on another", do you mean that you have multiple monitors? That's the only way I see two taskbars. In that case, a combination of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker and multimon software such as Actual Multiple Monitors/DisplayFusion can help.
