This is a short video as requested that shows how to make the Classic Shell start button look identical to the start button that is in Windows 7. All you need before this tutorial is Classic Shell installed in Windows 8, which I have another tutorial for. I did not do the art, and the page that I show in the video has instructions on how to do this as well, so most of the credit should go to them. I do have a saved copy of the files that are downloaded, so if the deviantart download link ever goes down, send me a message and I can email you the files, or upload them to a mirror server.
The address used in the video is:
askvg.com/download-classic-shell-skin-to-get-windows-7-look-like-start-menu-and-start-button-in-windows-8
The link to download it is: vishal-gupta.deviantart.com/art/Windows-7-Skin-for-Classic-Shell-Start-Menu-297783610
The download option is on the right, you have to scroll down a bit, and it will have a small green arrow with "Download File" next to it that says ZIP, 133 KB under it.
I now accept donations through Bitcoins! If you don't know what those are, you can get more information about them at bitcoin.org. My average donations are usually less than .001 BTC, but any amount helps me to make more tutorial videos, so any amount is gladly accepted.
