What Start8 Style Do You Use?

Do You Use Windows 7 Style Or Windows 8 Style?

January 16, 2013 3:16:33 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I am just curious as to what style Start8 users use.

 

I have tried both Windows 7 Style and Windows 8 Style, but I much prefer the Windows 7 Style.

How about you?

Windows 8, much prefer the square corners, The Win7 rounded corners just seems odd when it doesn't match Win8's UI.

I use the default theme, although the Start Screen is starting to grow on me. It is very intuitive and innovative.

I tried very hard to get on board with MS and their new UI, but I eventually just had to use Start8.

I started with the Win8 theme for the first few weeks, then just go fed up and moved the Win7 theme.

 

I can honestly say that Start8's Win7 theme has improved and really increased my positive user experience of the Windows 8 operating system.

I have been a windows user since it's birth a long time ago and I am sad to see the menu go.  However, saying that, I am the type to embrace the new, even if it means that sometimes I must let go of the old.

 

Guys at Stardock Start8 Team:  Thanks for this application and may your next 20 years be as good as the last 20 years.

 

Regards,

 

a VERY happy customer

Thanks for the kind words duskdevilza.

Should anyone feel like they are now using the Windows Start menu more often then perhaps I could recommend another Stardock app to try called Decor8.  It lets you customize the Windows 8 Start Menu background and colour scheme.
