Thanks for the confirmation. I will update the explorer.exe file soon.

@ViperAFK: I fixed the Start Menu bug; will update the .rar package once done updating the new Explorer.exe files (x86/x64). I appreciate your bug reports with the image attachment.

Not really a bug update, but for those who can't take ownership of explorer inside your user account or without using Group Policy, this is how.

1. Right-click explorer.exe

2. Go to Properties

3. Select the Security tab

4. Hit the Advanced button near the bottom-right of the window

5. In this new window, hit the Owner tab

6. Hit the Edit button

7. Select your name/account and hit Apply

8. Hit Apply or OK until all the windows are closed

9. Right-click explorer.exe again and go back into Properties

10. Select the security tab again and hit the Edit button

11. Select your username (yourusername\Users) and checkmark the Full Control box

12. Apply or Ok your way out of those windows and you're done.

Also, for a bug report, the font in CCleaner is really screwy. I'll upload a screenshot.

Thanks for the theme and your hard work... could you maybe get rid of the white box on the taskbar though?

I also noticed that. It has only appeared that way in CCleaner for me, but I will continue searching why it's behaving that way. Thanks for reminding me :)

@Ionium: No problem. I will sort the problem, just give me some time as I will have to install Windows 7 x86 version. It seems to only happen on x86, but x64 is fine.

Uh what am I doing wrong? I place the folder in the zip file into C:\windows\resources\themes and double click the .theme file... but it doesn't change styles?

Did you patch the necessary files?

Extract everything to C:\Windows\Resources.

So now you should have a folder in that directory called clsSharp, and a file in that directory called clsSharp.theme.

I never installed by double-clicking the theme file, but if you right-click on your desktop and click on Personalization, you should be able to scroll down and see the theme under 'Installed Themes'.

@ Kirbeh: Yeah, sorry for the wait. It's up now along with a bugfix for the Start Panels.

@ rm20010: Is this on x86? x86 seems to be having graphical problems where white/blank graphics are strangely appearing.

On x64, I don't have these problems. Here is what my x64 search button looks like:

I will install Windows 7 x86 tomorrow to fix these blank graphics.

Thanks for the report.

It looks like an excellant theme but how do I replace explorer.exe to get the theme to work?

I've patched all the necessary files, now I'm just waiting for explorer.exe to be replaced by it keeps denying me (because obveously I'm using explorer.exe, so If I wanted to replace explorer.exe, I would have to quit explorer but I wouldn't be able to replace it because I'm using it to replace explorer.exe). And safe mode won't let me replace it.

What am I doing wrong? it's really annoying me that it wont let me replace it.

hmmm.... I downloaded and merged the take ownership into the reg but I can not see "take ownership" in the right click menu, although I can in nearly every other file I right click. Also tried in the Administrator account but still can't see "take ownership".

Sorry, I know I'm getting a little offtopic but it will eventually get me the theme working. :)

I absolutely love this theme. I was waiting forever for it to be ported, and now that it finally has, I can say that it was well worth the wait.

I love everything about it. The start menu and taskbar are extremely sleek, and the new Orb complements them perfectly. I love the User Picture border as well. All the controls and little details were paid attention to, and were all changed to complement the theme.

Overall, this theme is excellent!

Found a way, you can go to the group policy editor and go to User Configuration > system > custom user interface and select enabled and type in the path of your new explorer.exe and it will use it as default :)

That is a good, and probably safest solution for this, I recommend this to theme makers.

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
