⚠️ RetroLab and Notebook v7 ⚠️The RetroLab code base has now been integrated in the Jupyter Notebook GitHub repository: https://github.com/jupyter/notebook
Which means development is now happening in https://github.com/jupyter/notebook. Over the next weeks, we plan to triage the open issues in the RetroLab repository, and transfer them to the Notebook repo when relevant.
You can install Notebook 7 with pip:
pip install --pre notebook
Once the final version of Notebook 7 is released, you can simply install Notebook 7 with:

RetroLab (also known as JupyterLab Retro, previously called JupyterLab Classic) is a JupyterLab distribution with a retro look and feel, more similar to the classic Jupyter notebook.
It is possible to try RetroLab on the web in Binder without installing anything:
retrolab can be installed with pip:
With mamba:
mamba install -c conda-forge retrolab
With conda:
conda install -c conda-forge retrolab
retrolab can be started as a standalone app with:
Existing federated JupyterLab extensions listed via:
jupyter labextension list
Should also be available when starting retrolab.
From an open notebook:

JupyterLab is the next-gen UI for Project Jupyter. Currently at version 3.0, it is becoming more mature and provides an advanced computational environment, that can sometimes be compared to what traditional IDEs offer.
However in some cases, having a leaner, simpler, and more focused interface to work on a notebook is really useful.
The single document mode as currently implemented in JupyterLab helps address this issue, but still displays a couple of visual cues that can be distracting to some users.
The goal of the retrolab project is to provide an alternative JupyterLab distribution with the look and feed of the classic notebook UI, while leveraging the efforts put in the development of JupyterLab itself and its extension system.
Technically speaking, retrolab reuses many of the existing plugins for JupyterLab (notebook, toolbar), and also supports prebuilt (federated) third-party extensions using the new distribution system added in 3.0. That way, extensions built for JupyterLab should also be compatible with retrolab, as long as they can be added to the application shell provided by RetroLab.
RetroLab is an alternative frontend built using the latest JupyterLab components, with the look and feel of the Classic Jupyter Notebook UI. Below is a short comparison to know where it stands when compared to other Jupyter UI projects:
left, right and bottom areas).This project is mostly a reboot of the two previous attempts at making something similar:
These projects really expressed the need for a stripped down, minimal version of the Jupyter Notebook UI.
retrolab contributes to that space with the added features:
This repository is a Jupyter project and follows the Jupyter Community Guides and Code of Conduct.
