Software developer Thinix has released a number of versions of its Windows 8 Start menu program RetroUI over the past several months. Now the company has launched a major new update for RetroUI, which brings its version number up to 3.0.

This new version includes something that a number of people might like; a true 'retro" Windows 7 style Start menu for the Windows 8 desktop, with features like integrated search, right click context menus and a way to drag and drop items in the menu.

Other new features in RetroUI 3.0 include the ability for the Start Menu to adjust its color to a user's Windows 8 color choice. Metro apps can now have their starting size set as a percentage of the desktop and Metro apps can now "snap" to fill half the screen for those users with large monitors.

The program is available for download now for $4.95 for use on one PC or a version for $9.95 that can be used by up to three PCs. You can also get a seven day free trial version and there are other versions made for business and educational use.
