StartIsBack is an application that simulates the design of the classical start menu from older versions of Windows.
Set up
The program turns the main interface into a more traditional one with a similar design. Users can change the appearance of the search bar, recent items, folders, taskbar and even lists of files. Thus, StartIsBack brings back nostalgia of utilizing computers from the late 00s.
There is full compatibility with the latest versions of the OS. Once you complete the installation, you automatically transform the looks of the start menu. It is worth noting that the app does not consume a lot of system resources to provide a smooth user experience with classical GUI.
Customize
The menu comes with a wide range of customization options that enable you to adjust the appearance. First, you are able to switch themes, set the transparency and organize icons. The personalization also applies to the taskbar and search system while maintaining classical features.
On top of everything else, there are certain modifications and improvements that Windows 7 original menu did not have. The most notable difference is that you can apply taskbar tweaks and improvements to open tabs faster.
