Funny you should ask that!
No, I can't, not for the Micro SD, anyway..., it's icon is in it's own firmware folder on the card, which I Super-Hid and can't remember how to retrieve it!!!

The icon guy...

Custom Icons for Windows 11 Thread (Folders, Dropbox, Google Drive, Podcasts, NVME Drive, Steam, Adobe)

My taskbar has gone from Light blue to dark blue and all I can change is the accent colour, or any colour except blue hence my OP, pretty obvious but I guess you got transparency effect turned off

Try going to System Tools, and clicking on This PC from the left menu. Shows the code is still there ...

1. Get Back Classic Ribbon in Windows 11 File Explorer​

   To restore the old/classic ribbon back in Windows 11 File Explorer, follow these steps:
   
   

   For Windows 11 22H2​

   The only way to get back the ribbon interface in 22H2 is by replacing with the 21H2 version.ExplorerFrame.dll
   
   1. Download ExplorerFrame.dll (21H2 version, zipped) and extract it to the desktop.
   2. Launch Command Prompt as TrustedInstaller.
   3. Right-click ExplorerFrame.dll (located on your desktop) and click “Copy as Path”.
   4. Switch to the Command Prompt window and run these commands:
   5. cd /d c:\windows\system32
      ren ExplorerFrame.dll ExplorerFrame-orig.dll
      copy <PASTE-FILE-PATH-HERE>

Unfortunately, the removal doesn't work, could someone fix it?

Found a simple and effective solution to this Ribbon Free of Charge no apps. takes less than 5 minutes.

Option 1: Setting the Explorer shell manually

Open an admin Command Prompt window.
Type the following command:

fsutil hardlink list c:\windows\explorer.exe

brings up:> \Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.1194_none_31c37a9df5333aa2\explorer.exe

(yours may differ so do not use this one; this is an example of what it will look like only.)
(if you use this one may not work, rather use what is printed on Command Prompt for your machine)

add: C: in the beginning of this printout to the above see bottom of post.

Start Regedit.ext in Admin mode

Goto:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Double click 'Shell' in the venue to edit by copy paste what is printed in Command Prompt on your machine only.
below is how the format should look.

add:> C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.1194_none_31c37a9df5333aa2\explorer.exe

Exit registry
Restart Explorer

I use OldExplorer to get the Details Pane --Horizontally on the bottom of Explorer.
I use TBtranslucent free on Microsoft Store to get the Glass affect for Taskbar. Which may also glassify other areas of the Desktop try it.


All these work on Latest Windows 11 22H2 versions so far.
