RetroUI Pro brings revolutionary technologies to Windows 8, enabling it to be used efficiently on every type of PC. Included with RetroUI Pro is new patent-pending technology called RetroUI Enforce. Enforce brings back the Windows taskbar and Start button when the Windows 8 Start screen (Metro) is active. Windows Store (Metro) apps are now windowed so you can resize them and reposition them around the desktop. RetroUI Pro also replaces the missing Start menu with a customizable start menu that integrates the Modern UI (Metro) features so you don't have to search for the charms bar or hidden corners anymore. You can also skip the Metro Start screen on login and block Metro features, if needed. These features dramatically improve the user experience and virtually eliminate the learning curve for anyone new to Windows 8. RetroUI Pro - Core Features at a Glance: - Brings back the start menu with a modern look and feel - Takes charge of Metro to bring back the taskbar and new RetroUI start menu - Forces Windows Store (Metro) apps to run in resizable and movable windows - Skip Metro and return to the classic desktop at login - Pin classic apps, default Windows Store apps, websites, and more to your Favorites - TabletView allows you to organize and access your pinned favorites

When returning from a Windows lock screen, if a Metro (Windows Store app) style application is running, RetroUI cannot close the Metro app. RetroUI is designed and tested to work with Windows 8 RTM version - 9200.win8_rtm.120725-1247, and later. RetroUI will not work with Windows 8 RT because there is no classic Windows desktop. RetroUI is not compatible and does not work with the developer and consumer previews of Windows 8. Registered users of RetroUI will be able to download updates (commercial, educational, and non-profit licenses will also receive upgrades for 1 year) to RetroUI. However, in the event that Microsoft removes the ability or somehow completely prevents RetroUI from functioning by releasing future builds, service packs or patches, Thinix cannot control these things and therefore doesn?t assert that RetroUI will be compatible with other future versions of Windows 8. In multi-user scenario?s, RetroUI supports multiple users on a single machine, but the settings for RetroUI are global on the PC. In other words, you cannot have two users each with different preferences for RetroUI. This may be addressed in a future release of RetroUI.
