what can i do with it.... i used different ways to enable the classic theme but these problems haunt me no matter what i do for taskbar i'm using startisback and you might say "use a retrobar" but it doesn't have 120 DPI support so taskbar is ugly blurred... and in general the problem of high dpi is very important
it's not fair that i and other people can't use popular customization software only because of high resolution

This is because the classic theme is from a time when the DPI was almost always 100%. As a result, each metric change causes problems if the DPI is higher. However, it is possible to "fix" this problem by providing high DPI-specific schemes. I will study the question (compared to the collection of schemes). For the taskbar, this can potentially work using only ExplorerPatcher : winclassic.net/thread/990/windows-classic-theme-on-1903 |

anyway where can i get this DPI-specific schemes? |
