sibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsib FROM NOW ON, THIS MOD IS ONLY GETTING UPDATED IN THE WINDHAWK MARKETPLACE. GET THE LATEST VERSION THERE.
I have made a mod for StartIsBack++ that tweaks many of it's internal functions to your liking. It is still pretty much a WIP.
Works only on StartIsBack++ 2.9.20. Functionality on older/newer versions is not guaranteed.
Suggest new features you would like to see. If it's possible, I might do them. Some are already planned for the future.
Changelog:
0.7 (2024/06/29)
- Removed Always use standard user profile picture setting due to bug reports.
0.6 (2024/06/29)
- Added 2 new options: Hide UWP Settings results & Always use standard user profile picture, done by TeknixStuff.
- Updated Readme
- Deleted Control Panel workaround for Windows 7 links
0.5 (2024/06/28)
- New option: Fix User Folders On Corrupted Namespace
- Removed rescale of "All Programs" menu as it caused some artifacts
0.4.1 (2024/06/28)
- Fixed a typo (WinClassic post only) - Fixed "All Programs" menu resize handling
0.4 (2024/06/28)
- Improve fallback logic for error catching
0.3 (2024/06/28)
- Optimization & Code Cleanup - New option: Fix "All Programs" Menu Padding
0.2 (2024/06/27) - Uses LoadLibrary instead of GetModuleHandle to get the SIB++ DLL

# StartIsBack++ Tweaker (2.9.20)
Modifies StartIsBack++'s internal functions for more customizable options.
Might not work if the StartIsBack++ DLL installed has been patched previously.
**Works only on StartIsBack++ 2.9.20. Functionality on older/newer versions is not guaranteed.**
## Features
**Remove Hottracking** - Removes the Item button glow present in StartIsBack++, which is used for 7/8 behavior.\
**Disable Start Menu Animations** - Disables the start menu animations, while leaving everything else untouched.
Similar to the behavior present in older versions of Windows.\
**Force DWM Composition** - Enable this option to force DWM blur instead of a custom one.
Does NOT work with "Use custom start menu coloring" & "Use custom taskbar coloring" enabled.\
**Disable Custom Drawn Scrollbar** - In order to match custom themes, SIB uses a custom drawn scrollbar for the "All Programs" menu.
Here you can force a native scrollbar instead.\
**Disable Custom Orb** - This option disables StartIsBack's custom orb and tries to prevent Windows key hooking.\
**Fix "All Programs" Menu Padding** - This restores the smaller size used for the "All Programs" menu.\
**Match Windows 7 Start Menu Links** - (This option requires the following links enabled to work properly: Computer/This PC, Connect To, Command Prompt)
Tries to match as close as possible the Start Menu Links used in Windows 7's default Start Menu (Games, Help & Support).\
**Fix User Folders On Corrupted Namespace** - Fixes the User Folders from opening up in a corrupted namespace if you used Aerexplorer or a registry hack to move them back from "This PC".\
**Hide UWP Settings results** - Removes Windows 10's Immersive Settings from showing up on the search menu.\
## Special Thanks
- Wiktorwiktor12: FindPattern function & Custom Folder help.
- Aubymori: Additional help.
- TeknixStuff: "Hide UWP Settings results" setting contributor.

All available options right now:
 Remove Hottracking: The following removes the Item button glow present in StartIsBack++, which is used for 7/8 behavior. People who wish to do Windows Vista/XP/Classic setups might want this option enabled. Based on an old patch I made. (GIF IMAGE! Open it on a new tab to see it properly.)
Disable Start Menu Animations: This setting disables the start menu animations, while leaving everything else untouched similar to the behavior present in older versions of Windows. Based on an old patch made by an old member of this community. Force DWM Composition: While DWMBlurGlass (from what I know) can overwrite StartIsBack++'s own blur method, you can enable this option to force DWM blur instead of a custom one. Does NOT work with "Use custom start menu coloring" & "Use custom taskbar coloring" enabled. Disable Custom Drawn Scrollbar: In order to match custom themes, SIB uses a custom drawn scrollbar for the "All Programs" menu. Here you can force a native scrollbar instead, similar to the behavior present in older versions of Windows. Disable Custom Orb: This option disables StartIsBack's custom orb and tries to prevent Windows key hooking. Perfect for users who would like to use StartIsBack++ with Open-Shell for a different style of start menu. Fix "All Programs" Menu Padding: This restores the smaller size used for the "All Programs" menu. Based on an old patch made by an old member of this community.
Match Windows 7 Start Menu Links: (This option requires the following links enabled to work properly: Computer/This PC, Connect To, Command Prompt) Took a long time to figure out. (BIG THANKS TO WIKTORWIKTOR12 FOR THE HELP!) This option tries to match as close as possible the Start Menu Links used in Windows 7's default Start Menu (Games, Help & Support).
Fix User Folders On Corrupted Namespace: Based on a patch originally made by YukisCoffee. Fixes the User Folders from opening up in a corrupted namespace if you used Aerexplorer or a registry hack to move them back from "This PC".

You should also add the patch for all programs menu padding to match 7 look.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! It saves us from having to manually switch modified dlls all the time!
However, the "force DWM composition"option needs improvement. Because when you normally disable "custom colour"in SIB's menu, SIB locks the "opacity" value to 77%, and when SIB normally applies DWMBG's shader, it makes the Afterglowbalance the same value as its "opacity" value, making the Aero shader on the start menu and taskbar not match that of the rest of the UI due to the altered Afterglowbalance value. This problem carries over into the Windhawk mod. I get the same result as when I have "custom colour" disabled in vanilla SIB without the Windhawk mod. Could a solution for this possibly be found?
Everything else is amazing though, especially the last option! Finally!

Can you think that you should replace shell:::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\\0\\::{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52} with shell:::{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52} because Games Explorer is not in Control Panel |

sibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsib I have made a mod for StartIsBack++ that tweaks many of it's internal functions to your liking. It is still pretty much a WIP.
Works only on StartIsBack++ 2.9.20. Functionality on older/newer versions is not guaranteed.
Suggest new features you would like to see. If it's possible, I might do them. Some are already planned for the future.
Changelog:
0.5 (2024/06/28)
- New option: Fix User Folders On Corrupted Namespace
- Removed rescale of "All Programs" menu as it caused some artifacts
0.4.1 (2024/06/28)
- Fixed a typo (WinClassic post only) - Fixed "All Programs" menu resize handling
0.4 (2024/06/28)
- Improve fallback logic for error catching
0.3 (2024/06/28)
- Optimization & Code Cleanup - New option: Fix "All Programs" Menu Padding
0.2 (2024/06/27) - Uses LoadLibrary instead of GetModuleHandle to get the SIB++ DLL
MOD CODE:

# StartIsBack++ Tweaker (2.9.20)
Modifies StartIsBack++'s internal functions for more customizable options.
Might not work if the StartIsBack++ DLL installed has been patched previously.
**Works only on StartIsBack++ 2.9.20. Functionality on older/newer versions is not guaranteed.**
## Features
**Remove Hottracking** - Removes the Item button glow present in StartIsBack++, which is used for 7/8 behavior.\
**Disable Start Menu Animations** - Disables the start menu animations, while leaving everything else untouched.
Similar to the behavior present in older versions of Windows.\
**Force DWM Composition** - Enable this option to force DWM blur instead of a custom one.
Does NOT work with "Use custom start menu coloring" & "Use custom taskbar coloring" enabled.\
**Disable Custom Drawn Scrollbar** - In order to match custom themes, SIB uses a custom drawn scrollbar for the "All Programs" menu.
Here you can force a native scrollbar instead.\
**Disable Custom Orb** - This option disables StartIsBack's custom orb and tries to prevent Windows key hooking.\
**Fix "All Programs" Menu Padding** - This restores the smaller size used for the "All Programs" menu.\
**Match Windows 7 Start Menu Links** - (This option requires the following links enabled to work properly: Computer/This PC, Connect To, Command Prompt)
Tries to match as close as possible the Start Menu Links used in Windows 7's default Start Menu (Games, Help & Support).\
**Fix User Folders On Corrupted Namespace** - Fixes the User Folders from opening up in a corrupted namespace if you used Aerexplorer or a registry hack to move them back from "This PC".\

All available options right now:
View AttachmentRemove Hottracking: The following removes the Item button glow present in StartIsBack++, which is used for 7/8 behavior. People who wish to do Windows Vista/XP/Classic setups might want this option enabled. Based on an old patch I made. (GIF IMAGE! Open it on a new tab to see it properly.)
Disable Start Menu Animations: This setting disables the start menu animations, while leaving everything else untouched similar to the behavior present in older versions of Windows. Based on an old patch made by an old member of this community. Force DWM Composition: While DWMBlurGlass (from what I know) can overwrite StartIsBack++'s own blur method, you can enable this option to force DWM blur instead of a custom one. Does NOT work with "Use custom start menu coloring" & "Use custom taskbar coloring" enabled. Disable Custom Drawn Scrollbar: In order to match custom themes, SIB uses a custom drawn scrollbar for the "All Programs" menu. Here you can force a native scrollbar instead, similar to the behavior present in older versions of Windows. Disable Custom Orb: This option disables StartIsBack's custom orb and tries to prevent Windows key hooking. Perfect for users who would like to use StartIsBack++ with Open-Shell for a different style of start menu. Fix "All Programs" Menu Padding: This restores the smaller size used for the "All Programs" menu. Based on an old patch made by an old member of this community.
Match Windows 7 Start Menu Links: (This option requires the following links enabled to work properly: Computer/This PC, Connect To, Command Prompt) Took a long time to figure out. (BIG THANKS TO WIKTORWIKTOR12 FOR THE HELP!) This option tries to match as close as possible the Start Menu Links used in Windows 7's default Start Menu (Games, Help & Support).
Fix User Folders On Corrupted Namespace: Based on a patch originally made by YukisCoffee. Fixes the User Folders from opening up in a corrupted namespace if you used Aerexplorer or a registry hack to move them back from "This PC". I really don't understand why you put game explorer in control panel. Was it ever there in the first place? |

Nope, it never was. Sounds like some weird workaround or leftover.

Nope, it never was. Sounds like some weird workaround or leftover. When initially developing the mod, it was used as a workaround. You were right. Updated version without Control Panel workaround has been added. |

Interesting, i traced the code and it seems like it's actually possible to change the "Games" part and the "Help and Support" part to be different.
if (mod_settings.MatchSevenFolders == TRUE)
{
Wh_Log(L"- Match 7 Start Menu Links...");
uintptr_t addr = (uintptr_t)(FindPattern("48 8D 35 ?? ?? ?? ?? 4C 8B F1 4C 8D 2D ?? ?? ?? ?? 33 FF",(uintptr_t)g_hStartIsBackModule)); // first check if pattern exists
SpecialFoldersList = decltype(SpecialFoldersList)(REL(addr, 3) - 8); // match address and add - 8 as offset, then cast to struct.
if (addr && SpecialFoldersList)
{
VirtualProtect(SpecialFoldersList, sizeof(FOLDERDEFINITION) * 22, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &old);
FOLDERDEFINITION temp = SpecialFoldersList[10];
SpecialFoldersList[10] = SpecialFoldersList[12];
SpecialFoldersList[12] = temp;
SpecialFoldersList[10].strParseName = L"shell:::{YourNewGUIDHere}";
SpecialFoldersList[19].strParseName = L"shell:::{2559a1f1-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}"; // Help & Support
VirtualProtect(SpecialFoldersList, sizeof(FOLDERDEFINITION) * 22, old, &old);
}
}
Just replace the "SpecialFoldersList[10].strParseName" or "SpecialFoldersList[19].strParseName" with the desired folder's GUID or path  {Spoiler}
you can change the other items in the start menu too!! Maybe this will work, if it does then, jackpot baby!!

sibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsibsib I have made a mod for StartIsBack++ that tweaks many of it's internal functions to your liking. It is still pretty much a WIP.
Works only on StartIsBack++ 2.9.20. Functionality on older/newer versions is not guaranteed.
Suggest new features you would like to see. If it's possible, I might do them. Some are already planned for the future.
Changelog:
0.7 (2024/06/29)
- Removed Always use standard user profile picture setting due to bug reports.
0.6 (2024/06/29)
- Added 2 new options: Hide UWP Settings results & Always use standard user profile picture, done by TeknixStuff.
- Updated Readme
- Deleted Control Panel workaround for Windows 7 links
0.5 (2024/06/28)
- New option: Fix User Folders On Corrupted Namespace
- Removed rescale of "All Programs" menu as it caused some artifacts
0.4.1 (2024/06/28)
- Fixed a typo (WinClassic post only) - Fixed "All Programs" menu resize handling
0.4 (2024/06/28)
- Improve fallback logic for error catching
0.3 (2024/06/28)
- Optimization & Code Cleanup - New option: Fix "All Programs" Menu Padding
0.2 (2024/06/27) - Uses LoadLibrary instead of GetModuleHandle to get the SIB++ DLL
MOD CODE:

# StartIsBack++ Tweaker (2.9.20)
Modifies StartIsBack++'s internal functions for more customizable options.
Might not work if the StartIsBack++ DLL installed has been patched previously.
**Works only on StartIsBack++ 2.9.20. Functionality on older/newer versions is not guaranteed.**
## Features
**Remove Hottracking** - Removes the Item button glow present in StartIsBack++, which is used for 7/8 behavior.\
**Disable Start Menu Animations** - Disables the start menu animations, while leaving everything else untouched.
Similar to the behavior present in older versions of Windows.\
**Force DWM Composition** - Enable this option to force DWM blur instead of a custom one.
Does NOT work with "Use custom start menu coloring" & "Use custom taskbar coloring" enabled.\
**Disable Custom Drawn Scrollbar** - In order to match custom themes, SIB uses a custom drawn scrollbar for the "All Programs" menu.
Here you can force a native scrollbar instead.\
**Disable Custom Orb** - This option disables StartIsBack's custom orb and tries to prevent Windows key hooking.\
**Fix "All Programs" Menu Padding** - This restores the smaller size used for the "All Programs" menu.\
**Match Windows 7 Start Menu Links** - (This option requires the following links enabled to work properly: Computer/This PC, Connect To, Command Prompt)
Tries to match as close as possible the Start Menu Links used in Windows 7's default Start Menu (Games, Help & Support).\
**Fix User Folders On Corrupted Namespace** - Fixes the User Folders from opening up in a corrupted namespace if you used Aerexplorer or a registry hack to move them back from "This PC".\
**Hide UWP Settings results** - Removes Windows 10's Immersive Settings from showing up on the search menu.\
## Special Thanks
- Wiktorwiktor12: FindPattern function & Custom Folder help.
- Aubymori: Additional help.
- TeknixStuff: "Hide UWP Settings results" setting contributor.

All available options right now:
View AttachmentRemove Hottracking: The following removes the Item button glow present in StartIsBack++, which is used for 7/8 behavior. People who wish to do Windows Vista/XP/Classic setups might want this option enabled. Based on an old patch I made. (GIF IMAGE! Open it on a new tab to see it properly.)
Disable Start Menu Animations: This setting disables the start menu animations, while leaving everything else untouched similar to the behavior present in older versions of Windows. Based on an old patch made by an old member of this community. Force DWM Composition: While DWMBlurGlass (from what I know) can overwrite StartIsBack++'s own blur method, you can enable this option to force DWM blur instead of a custom one. Does NOT work with "Use custom start menu coloring" & "Use custom taskbar coloring" enabled. Disable Custom Drawn Scrollbar: In order to match custom themes, SIB uses a custom drawn scrollbar for the "All Programs" menu. Here you can force a native scrollbar instead, similar to the behavior present in older versions of Windows. Disable Custom Orb: This option disables StartIsBack's custom orb and tries to prevent Windows key hooking. Perfect for users who would like to use StartIsBack++ with Open-Shell for a different style of start menu. Fix "All Programs" Menu Padding: This restores the smaller size used for the "All Programs" menu. Based on an old patch made by an old member of this community.
Match Windows 7 Start Menu Links: (This option requires the following links enabled to work properly: Computer/This PC, Connect To, Command Prompt) Took a long time to figure out. (BIG THANKS TO WIKTORWIKTOR12 FOR THE HELP!) This option tries to match as close as possible the Start Menu Links used in Windows 7's default Start Menu (Games, Help & Support).
Fix User Folders On Corrupted Namespace: Based on a patch originally made by YukisCoffee. Fixes the User Folders from opening up in a corrupted namespace if you used Aerexplorer or a registry hack to move them back from "This PC".
Hide UWP Settings results: Enable this to remove UWP settings from search results. Contributed by TeknixStuff.
It shows a sad smiley even though it's activated, WHY??!?! |

It probably has to do with SIB itself, i had this issue before, yesterday. and restarting explorer worked fine.

could this be made accurate? as well as the "help and support" category being localized   |

Help and Support should already be localized, perhaps the registry edit you used to restore it hardcodes the name? Additionally, SIB's Windows 7 start menu is already very accurate. You can modify it with it's own configurator to make it even more accurate. No need for more accuracy patches. |
