So it looks like it applies any skin designed for Window 7 or 8 just fine, I haven't noticed any issues yet, which tells me that SkinStudio 8 can be used still to design skins.
Only problem I had was with activation, it would not accept my email address activation nor my OD Sub number. I ended up having to do the manual activation over the Internet, but no biggie, I got it done!
Thank you Stardock!

OK, small bug I just noticed, the back forward arrows in explorer are using the Windows 10 ones, and not the ones in the applied skin.
Also, the right click menu glyphs (arrows, checks, etc.) are the same way, using the ones from Windows 10 and the Notification area in the tray area is also using the Windows 10 image (yuk).
Also, the Settings items inside WB10 are not staying applied, I tell it to show in the taskbar tray area and it won't.

W00t! W00t! W00t! 
Downloading now ... I'll let ya know how it goes!
Well, I can confirm the Bug(s) Lightstar reported. In the case of the icon in the task area, I have it, but it insists on being hidden. Also, on my secondary monitor (2 of 2), My taskbar is only visible under the Start Button, Cortana, Task View and buttons for running programs. It is invisible elsewhere.
But it still beats the CRAP out of nothin' at all! Cheers, Stardock!

Tom, check the box, then go back to the skins and hit apply.

Xp had a startmenu- It was being skinned.
Win 7 had a startmenu- It was being skinned.
Win 10 has a startmenu.....why do we need start 10 ??? 
Hmmm...
Hopefully Sks 10 will have a Startmenu area for skinning the win 10 startmenu just like it used to be for XP & 7

You need Start 10 to apply the Windows 7 start menu Andy.

So far not to bad. But I had a Dream going and I paused it. Then I also have fences going with no problem with the dream. After pausing the dream, Fences showed fine. I applied a windowblind without a problem. Worked well. Had the Fences. Then I attempted to change the wallpaper from Windowblinds. Changed the wallpaper, but my fences totally disappeared. Also my right click ablility on the desktop was gone. Anybody else experience this with dreams? How can I turn off dreams? I can pause them with right click, but how do I turn them off to try windowblinds? I restored desktop by going back into the start menu and reactivating the dream.
Edit: Okay, I found out how to disable dreams. Fences 3 work fine with windowblinds 10 style, but applying any wallpaper afterwards, disables them and Right clicking on the desktop.
