Using the 7.x Skin and Shell with My webMethods
My webMethods Server still provides the skin and shell that were used for My webMethods version 7.x. As a result, system administrators can configure My webMethods so that it uses the 7.x skin and shell, and as a result, revert My webMethods so that it has the look-and-feel of the My webMethods version 7.x.
For instructions how to restore the 8.0 look-and-feel, see
Restoring the 8.0 Look-and-Feel.
