Solved ExplorerPatcher changed highlight colour

The-Hive · Oct 15, 2021

I am using ExplorerPatcher, it apears to be too good. When I let my mouse hoover over items in explorer and most places it has gone from blue back to transparent grey, old windows 10 style. If I right click on desktop it is still Windows 11 blue ( because that is a win11 menu ) question is, how can I change the colour back to blue on everything? without mucking up the rest of ExplorerPatcher

Hi Rod,
this has nothing to do with Explorer patcher.
Go to Settings\Personalisation\Colors. Below the Color table, there are two lines with an "on"/ "of" switch. Set both to active.
(Explorer patcher has probably set them or one of them to "off").

Thanks, I will check it out as it's on the other machine.

Hi Roger, sadly that didn't work as they were both on. It was fine until I used ExplorerPatcher. I will keep looking for a fix. btw there has just been a new release of Explorer Patcher
