Does it work on modern systems? According to the site, it started having issues with Vista and onwards. Not sure if it's totally incompatible mind you. |

Adding variable __COMPAT_LAYER with value DisableThemes as system variables shows XP-style dialog.
However: - Works only with 32-bit programs.
- Shows modern title bar.
- Some programs refuse to show dialog. (AFAIK, Notepad++ refused it)

Nice find, really nice find. The default theme overridding the classic theme in the title bar is a shame though. We're on the right track, at least we know it's possible to call change the dialog types now. |

Found a similar program to FileEX; XFilesDialog. This one seems to replace the older Windows 95 era with a similar custom one that has more features. Also works with x64 Windows. Not sure if it works with all programs though or just ones tha have that dialog as default. Program is shareware. www.xdesksoftware.com/xfilesdialog.htmlEDIT: I tried to register the program, but came across a roadblock - seems the third party store that sells the programs has delisted it. So that's a bust. |

Question - would Windhawk be able to do this?

Question - would Windhawk be able to do this? Probably, yes. No one has gotten around to doing it, though. You could probably also do the opposite for modern Windows, to improve the user experience there. |

This does require classic theme though to work properly, Windows will upgrade to the normal dialog no matter what but this solves my gripe with the Windhawk classic theme method. Ah you've made me very happy. It works well, only issue I have it will not work unless I use Travis' classic theme script, which forces the title bar to not use the classic theme for me. I'm using 6sicsix's hybrid classic theme batch script, and even uninstalling 6sicsix's script, Travis's mod still produces the same results. Not sure if it's an issue with build 1607.  Thank you so much for making this a reality. I've wanted this for ages, thank you!  |

You need Travis' Classic theme mod for Windhawk and running BasicThemer2 for it to show.

I've noticed the same. EDIT: Changing the theme/scheme corrected the issue for me; I'm not sure, but it might be a bug with certain schemes or it corrects itself on theme change. |

Changing theme/scheme corrected the title bar issue for me. It appears BasicThemer doesn't like some schemes, IDK why.

It would be lovely if someone could come up with a version that doesn't require the other mod.
