I Googled for such stuff I came across a software which will bring the feature of both classic Start Menu and Windows 8 Metro UI as well just at the difference of SHIFT key and is highly customizable in terms of themes available. This programs brings features of legacy windows to the new Windows system like Start menu, Explorer, customizable toolbar etc.

Check below the sample of Start menu I have found after using the classic shell program on my Windows 8 Consumer preview system.

Apart from the start Menu it will also add a Classic explorer bar to the explorer window. There are a number of customization available for Navigation Pane, Title Bar, Tool Bar item which can be accessed using settings.
