I've 'assembled' many custom shell32.dll files myself. Both for Xp and Windows Server 2003, it's a tedious task but with some coffee and music it only takes roughly four hours. That includes testing and updating certain erroneous icons I may find.

Why this is taking so long is beyond me. I would release one myself if it weren't for certain ownership issues. The only reason for the delay that I can come up with is the production of some custom AVI files that could take a very long while, depending on the quality of the final product. Or there are some issues regarding copyright or other, between Mattahan and the producers of the shell32.

Let's just hope the 'project' if you can call it that, has not been discarded for some reason or other.

A little feedback to a very grateful and privileged community would go a long way. :D

Well just recieved a mail from mattahan today and hes given me permission to release the shell pack. Its 90% complete and it should be done within 2 days.

Im sorry abt the speed guys in which this is being done but Ive got to study too. Ive got my exams coming and I cant afford to screw it up.

Doing a shell pack isnt easy, specially when your mentally stressed after studing and then things dont go well with the shell pack. It gets really frustrating when you restart to check something and then you cant log in into windows coz some file is ****** up and you have to go into recovery console and find and fix which is the bad one and replace it. Luckily the first time it happened, I just managed to find a backup somewhere, otherwise I would have being doing the pack from scratch.

Ive had to take out time from my studies to do this and I am slightly behind.... Buts its ok. Somebody had to do it and im glad Im dong it.

I dont have much talent, but this is something which i can do and im happy to bring it to u guys.

Just gimme some time, and you'll have your shell pack :)

    • "New" Outlook has themes and colours and all sorts of visual customizations not just black and white.
    • What a bizarre statement. Why are you against users having choices? Are you against all extensions or just ad blocking? What about extensions to alter the W11 start menu to suit user preferences. Are you against those?
    • Honestly, I've been using the Lite version for a couple of months now, and it's been working well for me in my daily life. So much that I don't even miss the original version.
    • I use classic for reliability. Dark grey is vastly better than the all black or all white of new outlook.
