    I know I am not technically capable of working on a project like this, so I will leave it to the others who are, whether it be Ivo, who has done a great job since he introduced it, or the current GitHub crew who is working on it, I appreciate all their efforts and hope they continue. It's not my job to be critical of them. If I want to use it, I will and appreciate their work. If I don't want to use it, that's my choice. No reason for me to be upset with those who have and are trying to provide this to me "free". I can always fall back to Windows 10 Start Menu or try to find another 3rd Party that will work for me. Will just relax and "go with the flow".

    Since IVO would not let the new people use "classic Shell" as it's name, they may not want him. If he only just wanted to not be in control, he could have easily found someone to take The main coding job over. I doubt that he coded it all by himself. Most of the Skins were made by members of his forum. There is a site that specifies want can be done with Open Sourced Programs.

    Oh, ok. Thought you said you posted the wrong one and were doing more research.
    TC, Josey meant this link: What is open source software? | Opensource.com

    He was evidently looking for another one but didn't find it.

    Edit: Look at Josey's post just above this one. I see that he found it!

    I hope these updates are not everyday. It is a pain to have to install this everyday as it requires a reboot to work right.

    They are likely to appear fairly regularly as they are "nightly" builds.
