Question, how do you make the "Open Office Document" and "New Office Document"? The shortcuts used Advertised Shortcuts, is there a parameter?

Once again another question , i'm trying to move into LTSB and ROS Explorer refuses to save my config ( The Arrow Button Off and Position of the right Quick launch position). And there's no such directory of "ReactOS" on AppData.

And there's no such directory of "ReactOS" on AppData. ROS taskbar doesn't save your settings. You have to re-do everything manually every time it's launched. |

 Finally getting the hang of PowerPro; it's a fantastic piece of software. Made this crude taskbar with it, but can't get the tray plugin to work. Starting to think it's not x64 compatible. |

What is "PowerPro"? Is it a programming language? Can the taskbar open Open-Shell or Classic Shell's menu? PowerPro is like a swiss army knife. It allows you to make your own toolbars, create your own hotkeys, virtual desktops, and yes, it includes scripting. You can do pretty much anything with it, it's that powerful, but it's also frighteningly hard to grasp. It's like being thrown in the deep end. I can't touch the scripting side of things, but just the base options alone give you so much control. As for if you can use the Start button to call up the Classic Shell start menu - yes, you can. I wouldn't use this as a taskbar, but it's certainly an option. You can also use this to hook in the ROS taskbar like this:  You can also hook into other dialogs and take control of them, but I'm still getting used to this. As I said, it's highly customizable and very powerful, but also extremely complex. Link to it: powerpro.cresadu.com/ |

Could you for example catch when the clock is clicked and perform an action within explorer's thread?

I deeply apologize to the dev, the build you just linked is fantastic. He/she has ironed out all the issues I had with it, including the icon degrading as well a the blue "Taskbow" band that showed when you hid the taskbar in the last build. Sincere apologies to the developer. A version 1.1.7.4 is available: www.taskbow.com/taskbowfree.1.1.7.4.zip |

Looks odd on the W10 taskbar though (screenshot is with Spitfirex86's W7 Classic SiB skin): ![]()  |

You should try this program with taskbar running under Classic theme and no other theming... I think it is possible to make it looking descent... Possibly there will be some blur, but worth trying. |

The methods described on this site use AHK, not Folder Options X, Folder Options X cannot do it. My bad. I thought it did. Anyway, I just spend over an hour looking over your threads regarding both subjects, and I've tried my best at accomplishing both, but I'm going to be honest, I don't grasp it 100& and feel like I've not done it right. Please let me know what you think:  I like that dark silver, would you mind giving me an REG file for it? |

Anixx I tried what you asked and it looks the same; the tray doesn't work still and the text boxes in the taskbar are still blank. There's no point bothering with the default taskbar imho, MS have royally screwed it up. As for updates on my setup, I've started on the Control Panel itself now:  Tedious as hell to do to be honest. Hey I hope you don't mind if I ask this but did you make the games folder icon and can I get a link to it? |

anixx : These options were added into the new version of Taskbow:  The "button view" wasn't there in the previous version. As for testing taskbow without SIB on; I'll try that as soon as I can (it's late here). scamdisk : It's RGB code is 160, 159, 164. tommy: I've attached both my custom games and book folders to this post.
