Classic Shell is looking for testers once again
Hi, everybody
After 3 months of coding, I am finally ready to unveil the latest version of Classic Shell. I just released Classic Shell 2.9.0 on Source Forge. The main new feature is that you can now edit all settings from the GUI. See the attached screenshots. Gone are the ini files that confuse so many people. You can customize your start menu or toolbar by just dragging and dropping pretty pictures. The new menu also comes with a shutdown submenu that you can enable from the settings.
The new version hasn’t been yet well tested, so I need a few brave souls to try it out. If you are up for it, download it from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/classicshell/files/
Look for the file called ClassicShellSetup_2_9_0.exe. Do not use the main green Download button. It still gives you the old version 2.8.3 (so people don’t accidentally grab the new unproven build by mistake).
The new settings UI is in English by default, but you can download additional translations from the main page Welcome to Classic Shell. Currently only Bulgarian and Russian packs are available for version 2.9.0. If you'd like to contribute a translation for another language, drop me a line.
Please report any problems either in this forum, or on the Source Forge site.
Thanks
Ivo
