Ok I'm working on a rather large update. I have decided to make a small taskbar version (thanks to dazzlas thread explaining some things) Also I believe I will use a bitmap for the start button (with the other flag) and I am going to hunt down and destroy that resizing bug :D And there may or may not be another color added.

I'm debating whether to call it 5.0 once finished, but I think I will...

Thats what I'm leaning towards, though I'd never use it myself. But then again, I dont use anything other than ergonomic anymore :)

Thats sweet binary. But, I would keep the more modern flag... as microsoft would have updated the flag to the new one if they kept building it.

i think the one used in watercolor 2257 was the best looking.

can you post a ss?

binary, you got any im clients? i really wanna get this page up in time for that update. i have reliable, fast hosting and would be able to serve out the skin and other app skins aswell. if you got all the other exe, i can even make an archive and an update history.

Or just patch your uxtheme.dll with a hacked one, which will let you use these themes.

or that :p

Thanks dysektor for correcting me :)

No problem, Space Guy. They both work though. Just that I don't want another program on my system if I can hack some files to receive the same result. :)

binary... maybe you can make the menu highlights all look like the ones when you open the "all programs" in the start menu. GreyBase does it and it looks quite nice.

huh?

oh and I will prolly be updating the shellstyles for the 5.0 release. But remember it's gonna take some time sine I'm working now. So I'd appreciate it if people didnt "bug" me about it ;) It should be done within a week or two.

Toxikk, if I make the menus that way then the startmenu looks ugly, cause the highlight color for the logoff and shutdown buttons will be different.

Could we see a screenie of how the start menu would look if it were done that way?... menus with the outline seem really nice to me... >.<

    • 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.
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon by Taras Buria Files, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 11 out there, has received a minor update to version 4.1.3. The latest release brings a few quality-of-life improvements and new features, including an easier way to calculate folder sizes, improved tags, a new OneDrive icon, and more. Starting with folder size, File now has a dedicated "View size" button for each folder if you have the "Calculate folder sizes" option turned off in settings. This improves performance and allows you to see each folder's size only when needed. Note that folder size calculation could take some time depending on the number of files and their "weight." Next, Files can now retain file selection when switching layouts. While this change is rather minor, it lets you keep selected objects highlighted whenever you need to switch, say, from a list to a thumbnail layout. If you use tags, you will be glad to know that Files 4.1.3 makes it easier to remove all tags. You can do that with one of the following methods: From the context menu — right-click an item, open the Tags submenu, and choose Remove tags. From the toolbar — when the Edit Tags button is pinned to the toolbar, the same option appears in its menu. From the Command Palette — open the Command Palette and search for Remove tags. You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut to it from Settings. The final visible change is the new OneDrive icon. Files now pulls the icon directly from the OneDrive executable, which means the app always has the up-to-date version. As for the fixes, developers resolved the following bugs: Fixed an issue with extracting tar archives. Fixed an issue where the Signatures page would occasionally cause a crash. Fixed an issue where the Play action wasn’t available when a single media file was selected. Fixed an issue where Smart Extract would extract archives to the wrong location when switching tabs. Fixed an issue where tag search excluded folders when grouping by type. Fixed an issue where thumbnails would sometimes fail to refresh after a file was modified. Fixed an issue where a BitLocker-locked drive wasn’t displayed. Developers also revealed what is coming in future updates. Soon, Files Preview will get a new Tree View sidebar, allowing you to display folders in an expandable hierarchy, which is a popular way to browse deeply nested folders. Expect the feature to arrive in the preview channel in upcoming updates. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
