I used to classic shell with win8 after install i can still swap metro with classic start menu
by just point mouse at left-down from the screen.

But since Win 8.1 Preview arrive, micrsoft have created metro button(not really a start menu)
That make me confuse because their default metro buton was over there.
I can't even point left-down from the screen to recall metro anymore.

So I'd like to know is swaping between metro/classic shell start menu
by mouse at left-down from the screen still work? after install classic shell?

or the metro button slide to the right & classic shell button appear to left beside with metro button?

Anyone who use win 8.1 preview please tell me how does it look like at win 8.1 preview? :shock:
Any screenshot is fine.

Classic shell icon will either replace the metro button or use it depending on preferences. I dont think clicking the corner pixel will bring up metro in 8.1 though you can still set shift+left click, left click, shift+windows, windows, or any combination of them to open the metro UI

What Jcee said. When Classic Start Menu is installed on Windows 8.1, you can configure it from Start Menu settings -> Controls tab to make Microsoft's Start button open the Classic Menu or make it open Metro (Start screen). If you go to the Windows 8.1 Settings tab and set "Disable active corners" to 'None', then you can still open the Start screen with the bottom left hot corner and open the menu by clicking the button. So basically, any combination you want, it's extremely customizable.

Ow one thing I mostly forgot! There's already metro start button at the down-right tab
with Search, Share,[Metro Button],Devices, Settings since Win 8 to Win 8.1.
So, I don't have to swap leftdown anymore.
