[DEPRECATED] Simple Classic Theme

Download this:
github.com/AEAEAEAE4343/SimpleClassicTheme/releases/download/b3/SimpleClassicTheme.exe
Open it. First time you have to go through installation. It will tell you what to download and how to install it. After that you click "Enable" and the magic will happen

I have none of those three xD. I'm only doing it if it will help the program. If not, make your own thread pls.

All good, glad to hear that. I look forward to your progress with it.

So in regards to this program, I think you've done a pretty good job with it so far, leet . A couple of suggestions I have:
-Make the StartIsBack feature optional. This would be really useful for users who might not want it.
-Consider adding command line support to skip the GUI if/when you figure out how to toggle the classic theme programmatically (without the use of PS6, I mean)

Keep up the good work!

I agree on that cause i happen to already use startisback classic3 theme an install of the same thing or an different version over that might mess my settings but for people who really want the good old start-menu right out of the box it could probably be done without installing additional software by using a slimmed by trial and error version of the C# net framework 6 dll's and or executables in the same folder kinda what some games do with the mono dll's but with the net dll's

Pick 2 programs
01 Slim ( a small download classic theme only) or expert mode : You enable the UI assuming you already set your desktop
02 Chubby (All programs that bring back windesktop) Or novice mode you could script it to include all of the classic tweaks that make people happy to get a familiar environment like in my thread here
Or get my custom made win9x  startmenu  and bring it along with classicshell from This Megathread

So the one Rob suggested SimpleUI expert mode
And the one that installs the stuff would be AdvancedUI Novice mode

But i still think adding net6 files to the same folder as SimpleUI and AdvancedUI  would be more simple cause it would just run (no additional downloads just the software in question) quick and easy

Didn't work. Opening registry as read-only and then trying to write to it is not smart.

Lol came across this while searching for ways to get classic explorer. It's awesome but it's just a bit too classic
