because they felt it was time to grow up and stop using an obsolete ui

>can't download the files necessary to do this because chrome blocks it
lol

ur mom is obsolete

The classic theme disabled compositor and that was needed for some of their new shit that no one uses.

like what

The Metro/Modern apps and the new start screen.

you made me regret having a 1TB file mess on my windows 8.1 machine

can I get rid of windows 8 start screen somehow by using classic shell?

There are 3rd party programs that restore the start menu, so that's not a problem from the standpoint of functionality.
The real problem is that the new login screen needs the compositor too. Microsoft thoroughly fucked up this one.

Since it uses more resources than not using it.
Since Vista GDI acceleration hasn't existed, so using the 'classic theme' did nothing but use more CPU resources to draw the UI. (although it would lower VRAM usage)

Upgrade to Windows ten by using your win8 license key. Problem solved

I still don't get why there's no way to disable vsync without enabling the classic theme. It makes some older games with no fullscreen have horrible stutter on anything modern.

done

Fix your systray, hippie

and since vista the windows gui has actually been slower, what a piece of os

at least after aero got dumped it got a little bit faster again

Imagine those pajeets that are now hardcoding explorer themes somewhere.

what's wrong with it?

Part black
Part white
Visibility compromised
Not showing all icons
Get your shit straight, man

This is how you DEW it

fucken this, I get the classic theme is A E S T H E T I C but it fucks up the CPU usage so bad man. Not worth it.

I see someone graduated top of their class on the Xbox 360 debate team

you don't have to see it

Any reason they do that beside beeing pajeets?
