Because without cortana(it is not compatible with my regional settings and i do not want microsoft to own my stuff) windows 10 search box is so slow, and clumsy, it hardly works for me. Hi all, I'm new here, have been through windows 8.1 and 10 without feeling the need for any classic start so far, but now i have tried it out a bit, it looks rock solidĪnd i must say it has much more functionalities that i thought it would, and it has an incorporated search kinda like the one that was supplied in windows 7, which is actually the only thing i was missing in 10. The Start screen also had some interesting unique features like sorting apps by date installed and direct switching between multiple user accounts bypassing the logon screen. Windows 8.1 also had this feature to type the EXE name and have the shortcut shown.ĭo you see anything else which is an improvement over the Classic Start menu? Discuss it here: The Windows 10 menu can search EXE names to return shortcuts and do approximate string matching. Most mobile app launchers also have it.ħ. (The Windows 8 Start screen had this feature too). Apps can be uninstalled from the menu by right clicking. You can do this with Classic Start Menu too if you tap the touch keyboard on the taskbar and tap a letter on it.Ħ. This feature comes straight from Windows Phone. But then again if you had a physical keyboard, you could do that already. You can just click or tap on the A,B,C.Z letters. In the All Programs list which is often long and requires you to vertically scroll, you now have the ability to jump to an app which is way up or down in the list without scrolling all the way. Again the compromise is that it took the place of important folders whose contents you needed to access easily and frequently.Ĥ. Pinned items can be organized into groups (like the Start screen). The idea comes from mobile OSes like Android which tuck away all apps inside an App Drawer while you pin apps to the launcher's home screen which you use across multiple pages.ģ. The big compromise is all those super-important system folders with submenus have no place. Overall, more space for pinning your items. Tiles are colorful and graphical, tile sizes can be variable, some of them large, some of them small.Ģ. Live Tiles with push notifications (like the Windows 8 Start screen). I do see some improvements in the Windows 10 Start "menu":ġ. Rename the skin and copy it back to C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\Skins and then switch to the modded skin from the Skin tab in Start Menu settings. Change the 'top' or 'bottom' (2nd and 4th) values of the above parameters and save the changes. The 4 values of each parameters are the number of pixels added around the element from the left/top/right/bottom of the menu.Ĭopy the Windows Aero.skin7 file to the Desktop, open it in Resource Hacker. The parameters you might need to modify are Main2_text_padding and Main2_padding. The spacing is less because it can support a far greater number of items (system folders and important locations) in the right column, much more than the Windows 7 menu ever did.īut you can adjust the spacing yourself by simply modifying the skin and re-saving it. Tried them all but one thing that keeps me away from ClassicShell, such a small thing, but with the Windows 7 skin, the right panel with Control Panel etc doesn't look right, not enough width spacing compared to Windows 7 and SiB.
