Hello, What are the right tools to restore the menu bar ?

@valinet implemented an interesting mechanism in the latest version : https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/commit/d7e5b7d3c965803d4d52aefd7fedefe11e3518c4

I guess so. It was just a piece of information, I know the Aero Lite style pretty well ;-).

Windows "dark theme" is poorly designed and incomplete. I recommend using a custom visual style to get a good dark theme.

An alternative to the defunct AeroGlass is MicaForEveyrone : GitHub - MicaForEveryone/MicaForEveryone: Mica For Everyone is a tool to enable backdrop effects on the title bars of Win32 apps on Windows 11. It's not perfect, but this tool is able to add transparency to window frames.

Aero Lite it is designed to work in light mode. In ligh mode, there is almost no problem.

You just have to take the time to search to realize that the problems with Aero Lite in the explorer are easily circumvented. For example: https://www.askvg.com/tip-enable-full-classic-file-explorer-in-windows-11/ After that, there are no more bugs with Aero Lite. Provided you use light mode...

Besides, I have already read many times the speeches like "the project is dead", "in any case, the project relies on components that can be removed by MS"... So far, none of this has happened. As for the start menu, I can't say for sure (I'm not on Windows 11), but the most likely is a change in...

I don't see why the project would be abandoned ; At the time of writing, @valinet logged on to the forum for the last time... Today. If the project was abandoned, he would probably announce that, unless for some reason he gave up altogether. Except that the login date PROVES otherwise. Most...

@CharmaineK This may be related to the fact that when applying a theme, the setting that manages desktop icon drop shadows is automatically enabled. You should look in the detection settings of the active theme in the registry. Try not to select any theme (just solid background), and apply the...

For the notepad, the best is to restore the old one.

@mccnavy Try using WinPaletter : GitHub - Abdelrhman-AK/WinPaletter: Advanced Colorizing Windows Accents This can help determine the problem.

Hello @valinet, First of all, I would like to thank you for continuing to support the development/maintenance of ExplorerPatcher. My request concerns the "Advanced mitigations for correct rendering using classic theme" feature; This option contains several features: 1. Patched OpenShell DLL...
