Forum rules


Please read the following rules before posting a download request in this area:

1. Don't post a request if you have under 10 posts as stated on the front page. If you do anyway, it will be deleted without further notice. This also applies to other members: If you see a request by someone with less than 10 posts and it hasn't been deleted yet, please don't reply to it.
2. Don't request for warez or any copyrighted software. Only betas (no matter how old or new) and finals of operating systems and applications that are at least 10 years old and therefore classified as abandonware are allowed to be uploaded to and shared on the BetaArchive FTP server.
3. If you have your own FTP server where you'd like other members to upload what you're looking for to, please don't post its login details in any open forum as that will probably lead to abuse. Post the login details in the Private Servers section instead.
4. Check that we don't already have the file on our FTP servers. If you don't have access to the FTP servers then ask someone who has (a moderator for example).

Does anyone have a decent skin for Classic Shell, that's pretty much looks the same as the Windows 7 Start Menu?

Please provide me if you do. Thanks in advance.

AskVG's skin is pretty simmilar. I'm using it myself and it's very nice... :) Of course you can't expect the exact replica but I say it's about 85% identical...

Yes, try the AskVG skin and kindly let me know what all you don't find identical. :) Functionally, it's more identical, the goal was not to create a 100% pixel perfect clone of Windows 7's Start Menu but to improve on it even more. It's based on the Vista aero skin original by Ivo Beltchev with minor tweaks to the user frame, transparency, font size, settings XML etc. Even if the Shutdown button doesn't look the same, it expands like a menu and there is some additional functionality too in the Shutdown menu, (the "Restart and restore programs" option) which the Windows Start Menu does not have built-in. You can double click on the "Shutdown" menu item itself to perform whatever shutdown action you set in its "Command:" field that you need most frequently.

One thing though, the search box in the menu doesn't search files even if the search box says that. It only searches programs and settings.
