Hi everybody,
I have a problem with Startisback++ on windows 10 version 10.0.10074 (pre-RTM) it shows empty icons if I apply w7 or w8 taskbar skin, only the square and the text of the program. This is not happening with default taskbar skin. I tried different Startisback versions and always happens the same.
I also tried running these .reg & .bat files, to check if some registry key is missing, but nothing: reboot.pro/topic/21178-add-explorer-to-winpe-10/
Can somebody help me getting the empty icons back when I apply the skin? is there any registry modification related to taskbar icon handler which can be different than w8 & w10 rtm ? how can I check what's wrong?
I tried running explorer.exe from
10061 = no icons only squares
10056 = no icons only squares
10049, 10036 = nothing, different tray background, different start background, and no squares and no icons.. so maybe these 2 explorer.exe versions are more like w8.1 and I can get back some .dll to get the icons/tray&squares ?
If all of this is not possible with Startisback, is there any option to get the taskbar skin like w8.1 but without WindowsBlinds ?
Can I check something with ProcessMonitor to see wha'ts preventing the icons from appearing?
If somebody help me I can share to the forum some tricks to get a faster explorer.exe on w10 versions 10240 / LTSB2015 & 10586 and also some Windows tweaks (not the popular ones) to improve w10.
Here the problem, difference between w10 skin VS w8.1 startisback skin:
As you can see the opened programs are shown but for some reason the icon location is not correctly queried.
I know it's possible to use uxtheme patch and similar programs to get themes installed, and also classicshell taskbar skins but all of they doesn't shows anything different than a line/bar under running programs which is what I want to change. So they only shows a taskbar background texture and this is not what I want. As you can see bigger icon size are working with default startisback w10 theme.
Please help me with this
Can it be related to IconCache?
Thanks,
Regards
