We followed all of that as well. Hopefully they stick with Open-Shell but we can fix it if they change the name again ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-shell-just-a-heads-up/?ID=421ceed2-2136-4ea1-8545-46fb8f18606d#3 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 23:13:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-shell-just-a-heads-up/?ID=421ceed2-2136-4ea1-8545-46fb8f18606d#3 DisplayFusion So I saw this in the latest beta changelog;

"Change: Added support for Open Shell (a Classic Shell fork)"

And I just want to let you know (maybe you already know) that their original name Classic-Start which is what my topic was about, had to get changed due to a copyright issue, they then changed the name to NeoClassic-UI which wasn't well received by the community I guess, so they changed their name again, this time to Open-Shell. So it's been quite the clusterf**k trying to follow this project.

Anyway they seem to have settled with Open-Shell for now, just letting you know.

We'll make a note of this for the next version, it should be an easy change-over. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-shell-just-a-heads-up/?ID=421ceed2-2136-4ea1-8545-46fb8f18606d Tue, 10 Jul 2018 16:40:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/classic-shell-just-a-heads-up/?ID=421ceed2-2136-4ea1-8545-46fb8f18606d DisplayFusion So if you don't already know, Classic Shell is no longer in development, the good news is it currently still works with 1803 flawlessly, but who knows if that will last in the future with how Window 10 evolves.

But there's more good news, it's been forked and the fork is called Classic Start, it's basically the exact same thing currently, but it's worth keeping an eye on it, and I'd imagine in the future people will move to that from Classic Shell as Classic Shell slowly starts to break with W10 updates.

Also can you make sure you support Classic Start the same way to do with Classic Shell?
