I'm moving towards an XP style and one of my favorite things about XP was the different folder views, I found them significantly nicer than the Windows 10 views. They're perhaps not drastically different, but it does add up. I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done to restore/mimic XP's folder views in 10, hopefully without adding much bloat. Here's some examples: Here's the Tiles view, I know my window sizes aren't identical but there is a clear difference.
Here's the Icons view, there are multiple in 10 but I found this one to be closest. XP is still superior, in my view.
Thumbnail view which is fairly similar to Large icon size, but again slightly different.
Edit: using Win10 22H2.

Enable SysListView32 in Explorer Patcher.
I think there was a Windhawk mod for this, but I cannot find it.

Ah, it is an option in Aerexplorer mod now, previously it was a separate mod.

You can use my mod, Explorer 32px Icons, from the Windhawk Explore page to get XP's view on Medium icons back. You will need SysListView32 though. |
