    Hi,

    I am looking for "Windows Classic Theme" that could run on Windows 8 platform. I know that there is no such color scheme provided on Windows 8 but it was available till Windows 7. I appreciate if you help me compatible version of classic theme for Windows 8.

    Rest of the existing themes on Windows 8 have display incompatibility issue with my products.

    Please help.

    Thanks.

    Shailendra

    Unfortunately, there is no supported "Windows Classic Theme" that is compatible with the new Windows 8 operating system. Please review: Eight things to do right away after you set up Windows 8

    Not sure if you ever came across this by now;

    I too am a fan of the older classic interface.  In fact, I'm hoping to be able to make Windows 8 look completely like Classic, start button and all (as seen in this sshot http://pcdesktops.emuunlim.com/pictures/skins/talisman2/xp_classic_9x.jpg).  I don't have Windows 8 yet so haven't tried so far.
