Thanks Vector.  Those start buttons are tight.  They compliment the caption bar buttons AND the solid progress bars.

Hmmm

tbh I really don't think this style is the second coming like others proclaim. The caption buttons are quite nice...but thats where the improvments, imo, stop from 3.

The start menu is a monumental step back from LE3, even the 'compact' version attempts the takeover on your screen. And its not just big, the colours on it are inferior as well. The taskbae i'm not the largest fan of either, old style was better, again imo.

Not trying to down on your work, but after 380246802pages of hype, and whatever page this lands on here, I expected something a lil better (and I guess different). But its still a very nice style (like the mouseovers in the all programs menu)

The great theme about LE4 is that it's more polished and it gives a lot of potential for personal mods so you can make it look amazingly good. Everything looks just right (XP like but not too much Vista like either). A perfect blend.

With some personal modding I have an incredibly nice style to go between back and forth.

If you have the taskbar at the top of the screen.

@Boz: Please share the blue horizontal shellstyle I see in your screenshot. I like it a lot. :o

@Mad_Griffith: You have my permission if you want to post your shellstyle.

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?

      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).

      AI programs are riddled with bugs, and it's often surprising to see how little this is acknowledged. I guess it's all the rabid enthusiasm spurred by the blind investments in it because of the word "intelligence" in the nomenclature. AI has no intelligence at all, in and of itself, and it's just like any other program as it does what its programmers have told it to do, whether they like it or not, whether they realize it or not...
