For some reason, OpenShell really breaks whenever I use WindowBlinds with Address Bar Remover or SCT.FEH. This is the first time this has happened to me, and I have no clue how to fix it I would appreciate some help about this, as this is really bothering me and keeping me from making an accurate Windows XP theme

I'm having the same issue too. ExplorerPatcher's "remove navigation bar" option works great, but it also removes the navbar in file open windows which isn't ideal.

Does this only happen with WindowsBlind ? I think so, I tried different WindowBlinds themes, and all of them produce the same problem Using the original windows 10 look works perfectly. I tried using the Windows XP msstyle to counter this problem, but I can't use it because it gives me the black screen of death, both with UXThemePatcher and SecureUXThemePatcher

If you are using the original style of Windows XP, it makes sense, the theme engine has since evolved. Instead, use a "ported" style, like this : www.winclassic.net/thread/1528/noir10-perfectluna10 |

Cuz I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right or not. Regardless, I'm gonna give this theme a try and make sure it works as soon as I'm able to. Thanks

Yes, you do exactly just that. If it's a different name, rename it to luna10.msstyles.
Also, the msstyles are a LOT more accurate than anything Windowblinds can pull off as far as I know.

So, I tried the PerfectLuna10 theme, I first set up a restore point toh Here's the results:
At first, it went completely well, I turned on Basic Themer 2 later too to get it working, one thing I noticed is that the lil close, minimize and maximize buttons were a bit smaller than they should be. I tought this was because I didn't set the metrics, like I read from Saturn, and so I applied them and logged off. As soon as I logged off, I got a black screen. I restarted, the black screen on the log in screen was gone, but when I logged back in, I got, you guessed it, the black screen of dead, armed with the mouse getting its positon reset to the middle of the screen every few minutes and sounds of I think stuff getting connected and disconnected every few seconds. So I just went back to the restore point and I'm still stuck using WindowBlinds. I just can't escape the black screen of death

Ofelia It is possible that it is the metric change that is causing the crash. I think it's important to determine if the culprit is the metric change or the visual style. What version of Windows are you on ?
