Classic Shell no longer in development, and now open source

I understand this, I'm not a coder so I don't think git hub is set up for Beta report issues just yet at least I'm not smart enough to figure out where to post them. Personally, I'm still on 1803 and have no issues

Maybe they will revive The old Forum?

Hi Guys

Yes. The signature issue is being addressed. The howto guide/FAQ is being worked on as well. The primary goal was to get this up and running STAT and then worry about the non-essential (so to speak) issues. At present, only a few files were modified so you can read the howto that is currently at the old 'classicshell.net' page.

@Clintlgm - For those who are experiencing bugs or want to offer new suggestions, etc., simply click the link below. This is the simple bug/feature requests/Q&A page on GitHub. The other forum is usually for developers as it tends to get kind of 'techie' with code talk, however, feel free to post in there as well.

As far as re-opening the original classicshell.net site; the answer is no. It will be up for another 6 months or so and then go bye bye. The development, support, etc. will be on GitHub. Right now there are a few different GitHub pages and you can expect those to be consolidated into one location in the future.

NOTE: This is an open source project and anyone that knows how to code can make any changes to the app if they wish. No permission is needed, however, if you do modify, add or remove anything to it and re-distribute it you must give credit by means of a text file or by having it coded into the app itself so clearly shows the original developer(s) and any other developer(s) since then. If you are changing something for yourself only and not re-distributing it then you do not have to do anything. Also; if you do change anything and re-distribute it, please post what your doing in the forum below so others know as well. It's just to keep track on the different versions that might be circulating out there.


I am not taking credit for this project or release. It's my friend 'coddec' that started this and he is the one to be thanked (I already did of course...lol). I just help a tad

Great. I hate the W10 start menu if you can even call it that. Start10 is slow and buggy too.

FWIW.... CS 4.4.109 (reborn CS) survived the new Insider build 17711 without a scratch.

Kudos to those involved in developing this new version.
