Classic Shell skins - 'clrSharp Light, Light Floating, Dark & Dark Floating'
Four skinsets for Classic Shell[link] designed to match the windows 7 visual style Clearscreen Sharp[link] by K-Johnson.
There are four different sets, Light and Dark, with default and 'floating' styles. All sets have Big and small icons, both with caption and without one.
Light Floating was originally inspired by the 'show hidden notification icons' popup of the Clearscreen Sharp VS. The Dark style was made to better match the taskbar and original start menu.
I'm using v. 3.6.2 with windows 7 and cannot change windows start button. Is that feature for windows 8 only? I have some button images I downloaded but the start button image under the start button tab in settings does not do anything. Any ideas? Thanks for Classic shell!
I use this....and I want to thank you, as undoubtedly countless others do as well, and to say that I appreciate the incredible work you did with this. If I had not known about this from Ivo (Windows Seven Forums from 2009) when I tried Windows 7 in a laptop, I would never have put Windows 7 in my new computer as the disappearance of the classic start menu was a huge mistake that was never rectified. We were left with the monstrosity that they call a Start Menu with no options to change it. And Microsoft state that 'they gave us what people asked for' in Win 7...yeah right.
You can change the icons from StartMenuItems.ini. Find the "LogOffItem.Icon=shell32.dll,325" and "ShutdownItem.Icon=shell32.dll,329" lines. "shell32.dll,329" means it is an icon from shell32.dll, icon group ID 329. Use Resource Hacker to see what the icon group ID's are for all the different icons.
Thanks for Classic shell!
You might have to restart explorer.exe for it to work, so try rebooting.
Like the WIN 8 !!
Like the "WIN 8" !!

Thanks Mr.Edward, you're a star.
I have tried all 4 skins but there is no transparency.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
