This doesn't seem to work for me. Here is the log:
11:52:13.543 8756 explorer.exe [WH] [local@classic-taskbar-fix-lite] [216:HookSymbols]: Couldn't resolve all symbols from cache
11:52:13.559 8756 explorer.exe [WH] [local@classic-taskbar-fix-lite] [221:HookSymbols]: Wh_FindFirstSymbol failed
11:52:13.559 8756 explorer.exe [WH] [local@classic-taskbar-fix-lite] [137:Wh_ModInit]: Failed to hook one or more functionThis is a symbols issue. Perhaps explorer cannot connect to the internet, or maybe your OS version doesn't have symbols available for it.
You can still download the symbols manually with PDB Downloader. Drop the resulting folder named explorer into C:\ProgramData\Windhawk\Engine\Symbols, and then restart the mod. Yeah, I've been using a firewall rule to block the internet access of explorer.exe. Disabling firewall still didn't work, so I tried PDB Downloader. But I'm not sure which DLL or executable to select in the list since selecting C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe didn't download anything. |

I can't get this mod to work right. What are "all the other classic theme mitigations"? (I've already enabled the mitigations in ExplorerPatcher, are there more?)  Here is the log: 15:12:12.192 11588 explorer.exe [WH] [local@classic-taskbar-fix] [135:operator()]: Hooked 00007FF79AA92000: public: virtual long __cdecl CTaskBtnGroup::SetLocation(int,int,struct tagRECT const *)

Great work! Thank you very much.
But, is there a way to change the taskbar colour? Now, my task bar is in light grey, but I would like to change it into 192,192,192

Fixed. If anyone else is having this problem, go into OpenShell settings and under the Taskbar tab, change Taskbar look to Opaque, and change Taskbar color to 000000. |

Any ways to make active task text bold?
I know you want to suggest me to set caption text bold but Japanese classic color schemes are not so.

Taskbar item font is controlled by ExplorerPatcher's DrawThemeTextEx hook. I tried hooking this in Windhawk myself, but unfortunately it just doesn't work with ExplorerPatcher's hook in place. I have submitted a pull request to the ExplorerPatcher repository to fix this, so hopefully it should appear in an update to ExplorerPatcher. |

Possibly you could consider making a pull request to the similar Windhawk mod, which is based on EP.

The problem is that EP has a hook which is always active, but relies on classic theme mitigations being enabled in EP to actually work with classic theme. And again, the problem with that is that you can't hook functions that EP has already hookked for some reason. |

Is there also a working version of this thing?
The windhawk compiler can't compile it (or whatever this thing does).
C:\ProgramData\Windhawk\EditorWorkspace\mod.wh.cpp:28:10: fatal error: 'windhawk_utils.h' file not found
#include <windhawk_utils.h>

Ok, now it seems to work, which is great!
As far as I can tell by now this is more or less the final step to make Windows look good again (as far as the classic theme is concerned).
All the other additional taskbar apps and taskbow wasn't really working nicely for me so thx a lot.
But I was wondering if there is a possibility to make a tiny little program (like an exe) file so one doesn't need to use Windhawk at all? |

You can delete the most of Windhawk if you do not need to change the mods anymore. Particularly, compiler and UI folders in Windhawk directory.

Awesome! Thank you γͺγΌγγͺγΌ and anixx! But how to use it together with EP? I installed Windhawk, compiled script, turned it on, restarted explorer.exe and... nothing changed.  |
