To do so, you will need to create a folder in the program's directory, and an XAML file. Advanced users maybe interesting in customizing the program's theme. I think it's worth mentioning that the program does not alter the appearance of the Start Menu, you may want to look into Open Shell for an XP styled skin. RetroBar is an open source application written in C#. Surprisingly, it exits (and opens) without restarting Explorer, which probably means that it uses an overlay over the default Taskbar. To close the program, select Exit from the right-click menu. RetroBar doesn't waste time when switching between themes, the change happens instantly. There is a much cooler option here, the theme drop-down menu.Ĭlick on the menu, and you may choose any of the following options: Windows 2000, Windows 95-98, Windows ME, Windows XP Blue and Windows XP Classic. Use it to access the Windows Task Manager, or to toggle the clock or the quick launch icons.
Right-click on a blank area of the taskbar, and RetroBar's context menu will pop-out.
The program retains all your taskbar shortcuts, which is helpful. It's not just the task bar, RetroBar also modifies the system tray and the start button for uniformity.
Your taskbar will disappear, give it a few seconds and a different bar takes its place. The program is portable, extract it and run the executable. The freeware tool replaces parts of the GUI to give it a retro feel, hence the name. If you have never used one of the older versions of the OS, or if you're feeling nostalgic about them and want the old UI back on your Windows 10 computer, you may be interested in RetroBar.
