That seemed to fix it but now my taskbar is messed up. It's too thin and has no more text. Also the search field from my explorer windows is gone.

For the taskbar, provide me with a screenshot of the "taskbar" page of the Explorerpatcher properties.
For the search zone, try disable the "Hide search bar completely" option (on the "file explorer" page).

If you're on a recent build of Windows 10, then you can use ExplorerPatcher.

gckim250: Can classic-theme-related app or logon screen made via Rust? Mar 23, 2023 6:37:18 GMT -8

bran: Does rust have a Win32 API interface? If it does then pretty much anything's possible Mar 23, 2023 7:30:44 GMT -8

herit://that1cutie: How exactly is SCT invasive? Mar 23, 2023 10:53:22 GMT -8

OrthodoxWin32: bran I'm pretty sure it's possible, Feodor2 managed to port Mozilla's Rust compiler on Windows XP : github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/ Mar 23, 2023 15:40:31 GMT -8

Alcatel: there's SCT branding scattered around the system I guess Mar 23, 2023 19:20:18 GMT -8

bran: SCT contains quite a few dialogs that open on startup. There might be a way to disable them but I still don't like all that baggage running at startup Mar 24, 2023 4:01:33 GMT -8

bran: just learnt how to use MFC's richedit, maybe will recreate word xp or something Mar 24, 2023 5:48:11 GMT -8

CEO of youtube: men i need a windows xp winver for my windows 10 (yeah i downgrade to windows 10, fuck windows 11) Mar 25, 2023 19:55:10 GMT -8

ntgirl: aight just to see how much of a boomer i am Mar 26, 2023 21:06:09 GMT -8

ntgirl: any of yall remember the thread on the thinkpad forums about enabling the classic theme on windows 8? Mar 26, 2023 21:06:29 GMT -8

ntgirl: i never had an account there but i did keep up with that thread while it was still active Mar 26, 2023 21:06:46 GMT -8

genaker: first time actually attempting a "full" W2K theme on 7. (not actually gonna be full but i'll atleast put some effort in) Mar 26, 2023 22:52:19 GMT -8

R.O.B.: ntgirl Yeah, that thread is a large part of what led to the creation of this forum. A lot of our oldest members came from there. Mar 27, 2023 10:01:43 GMT -8

R.O.B.: Windows 12 may raise system hardware requirements. I guess Windows 11's requirements were just not high enough somehow. Mar 29, 2023 9:30:14 GMT -8

The Jackal: I'm still getting used to the fact there is a W11. Is W12 really a def thing? If they are just going to release new versions of Winodws every two years now (11>12>13 ect) why not just drop the numbering and just call it Windows? Mar 29, 2023 10:34:34 GMT -8

TechSalt: On the topic of Windows 12, Windows 12 will require 8 GB of RAM (probably fake requirements tho) Mar 30, 2023 10:33:05 GMT -8

TechSalt: Might become a really bloated release Mar 30, 2023 10:33:22 GMT -8
