[quote who="juggalofrost1" reply="58" id="3605732"] perhaps i missed the point of your statement,unsure but ya wbs always has skinned the start menu and taskbar with the help of the start series [/quote] juggalofrost1, See the screenshot I attached in reply #42. Windows 8 native only had a full screen start menu. Your options for skinning a start menu forced you to step backwards and use a Win7 style menu and then WB would skin it. Wind

[quote who="Uvah" reply="56" id="3605666"] this particular WB promises to be the best yet. [/quote] IF and ONLY IF, it skins the native start menu without forcing one to have a Win7 Style start menu. If it requires Start10, then so be it, but it absolutely must skin the Windows 10 style menu.

As I pointed out in another thread ( which was deleted ). StyleXP was nothing more than a uxtheme.dll hack with a boatload of die hard, misinformed followers.

[quote who="LightStar" reply="45" id="3605544"] Yup, sure does. [/quote] Duhh... I forgot that I knew that. I just assumed that was the equivalent of selecting "default theme" when using WB. So I built a Windows 10 Pro VM to begin some testing... What I did NOT realize was that I could "Show Win+X menu when right clicking the start button", and still have Start10 essentially being run, thereby still retaining the native look and functions

Riddle me this... This screenshot was posted by Gef in the screenshots gallery and he isn't answering what he used to do this. Is he using a test of WB10 to do that?

Here's a flash for you Borg999, it does the same thing if you sign in using Chrome on a different system too. So, it isn't a marketing ploy at all. It's a good safety measure. By the way... Apple does the same thing if you sign in to icloud from anything at all. I guess resistance to tin-foil hats is futile..

Icon Packager has been half assed for YEARS now. Oh it worked fine and served the purpose while installed, but once you uninstalled it your system was borked unless you manually performed some corrections ( i believe by changing some registry keys ). The issue was brought up years ago and ignored, and ignored, and ignored. All that seems important anymore is trying to make your system look like a Windows version that is now 3 versions old instead of expanding on the native OS tr
