I wonder, whether it is possible, using this approach, to replace the flat taskbar (MSTaskListWClass) with a 3D taskbar (ToolbarWindow32)? |

I wonder, whether it is possible, using this approach, to replace the flat taskbar (MSTaskListWClass) with a 3D taskbar (ToolbarWindow32)? Interesting. If possible, would this give a taskbar fully compatible with the classic theme ? I am working on the sources of the Windhawk mod which corresponds to the classic theme mitigations on ExplorerPatcher. gitdab.com/Cynosphere/WindhawkMods/src/branch/main/classic-theme-explorer.wh.cpp |

As I can tell, this mod does completely different things than Classic theme mitigations in EP. It is also a reimplementation of SCT.FEH. But the Explorer mitigations code is contained in it (at least the result is similar, I tested). |

Does not work for me, the taskbar is unusable without EP. I did not uninstall EP. I just disabled the "enable classic theme mitigations" option. |

So, the mod by Cynosphere is approaching the point where we would not need EP. Things still lacking: - Revert to Win10 taskbar
- Tray flyouts substitution - Control panel pages substitution - SysListView32 - Use of Windows 10 taskbar - Enabling the Classic theme (by blocking handle access). |

It is also a reimplementation of SCT.FEH. But the Explorer mitigations code is contained in it (at least the result is similar, I tested). It is indeed SCT.FEH source with EP's explorer mitigations added. The FEH source is slightly modified though to fix a few problems with it. |

Well, so I went ahead and tried to uninstall EP and use only DisableUndocking reg key, 7+TT and WindHawk mods. I experience only the following problems: - The taskbar context menu (second level) is empty.
- Context menu of volume icon is empty.
- Wi-fi flyout does not work. - There is a gear icon in tray, do not know how to remove it. - Clock flyout is Win 11 style. |

Another glitch with "classic explorer" mod: the 3D border around tray does not always appear.

I've seperated this into it's own thread because I think it warrants it. I've also been experiementing with Cynosphere"s Classic Theme Explorer" windhawk mod that OrthodoxWin32 posted above, and I've been able to get the classic 9x taskbar rebars to show. Not sure if this is known or not.  Sadly, it comes with issues for me - namely this weird bug that smears black all over the running tasks and tray areas. |

Personally, what interests me in this mod is not to be able to replace EP (the fact of activating it or not does not matter to me), but to potentially be able to use the taskbar with the classic theme without displaying the labels.

Here is how the taskbar looks for me without EP, using only registry hacks (UndockingDisabled, etc), WindHawk mods, OpenShell and 7+TT:
I do not know how to remove the ActionCenter icon. The context menus of network and sound are empty. Otherwise, the look is the same as with EP.

I'm thinking it's the method I'm using to activate classic theme that is causing these glitches for me, not the mod. |
