This is from their readme file:
I think this can be used to hide the navbar from File Explorer. What do you think?

anixx AFAIK this Win10 theme {link} uses this method to hide command bar.

If you can find out how Explorer implements the navbar, then maybe. I know for a fact that it won't be in shellstyle.dll though. That was one of the first things I thought of when it came to hiding the navbar (check the earlier posts on the SevenForums thread). But if you can find out how it's implemented and then remove it via DLL injection, that'd be fantastic.
I've said this before, but I'd like to see things implemented via DLL injection by overriding code, similar to how OldNewExplorer does things. Aside from the navbar, I think this method would be good for things like the icon label position for 32x32 icons, and for a WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE in the folder view. The main advantage to doing things this would be that the changes could be implemented with the window/class, rather than after it has already been created.

But this manual claims they can override any dll. Also this maybe possible to use to override taskbar look. |

It is in mssstyles. One can remove the navbar via msstyles. Yeah, and unfortunately the classic theme doesn't use msstyles to begin with. But this manual claims they can override any dll. That'd be perfect. Like I said, I'd love to see this. Also this maybe possible to use to override taskbar look. If you can find out which DLL implements Windows 10's taskbar then possibly. However, Windows 10's explorer is weird. For all we know, they may have changed the taskbar's code in such a way that simply changing a few window classes to the ones used in Windows 8 won't work. I'd say it's still worth a shot just to try it, but even if it works there's no guarantee that Microsoft won't change the code in the future. I think this uncertainty is one of the main reason why we're looking for alternatives for Windows 10 (such as the ReactOS taskbar). Also, I think it's worth noting that I'm pretty sure Microsoft removed styling for the taskbar from Aero.msstyles in newer builds of Windows 10. |

I don't think it's in a UIFILE. I'm pretty sure it's stored in the msstyles file's CMAP. If that's the case, then I'm not sure how you'd do it without Windows Style Builder. Sorry.
But if you need any modifications done to an msstyles file, feel free to send it to me. I do own a copy of WSB, so I'd be happy to help (you can also ask Splitwirez if he'd like to help as well; he also owns a copy of WSB).
Otherwise, hex editing is the only other thing I could suggest, and even then I wouldn't know where to look (I know how to find classes via hex editing, but unfortunately not content margins).

No, we mean the navbar/address bar. We've already hidden the command bar, lol. Thanks for the input, anyway. |

Great now we need to bring the whole shellstyle.dll functionality back into windows 10 just because some sadistic assholes deleted it in build 1809 rs5
