btw this is how my desktop looks now :)

It would be nice if someone would make a version of this start button for the compact version of the theme though cause as you can see there's still a problem with the hight of the start menu and the graphic while using the compact mode.

PS: Sorry for the horrible quality.

Hi, just to let you know that I'm almost ready with the Black Shellstyle (I also fixed the Blue Shellstyle), but I have a slight problem in finding a part of code. I'm talking about the one which regards this (which I accidentally made right editing the Black Shellstyle :p):

I just found and corrected a little bug in expand/collapse folder tree (missing trasparency).

I also restored the old-fashioned LE3 task band flashing button, it someone likes it better.

The expand/collapse have white background becuse if you press WIN+E and click in the expand/collapse buttons the background wouldn't redraw with the transparent background.

It's all in this Tutorial that I gave you before:

http://de.geocities.com/webfactorx/shellstyle/

background explorer, mainwindow and bordercolor:

Element [id=atom(blockade)]
{
background: rgb(99,117,214);
borderthickness: rect(0rp,0rp,1rp,1rp);
bordercolor: white; /* rgb (red,green,blue)
}

The expand/collapse have white background becuse if you press WIN+E and click in the expand/collapse buttons the background wouldn't redraw with the transparent background.

Really? Here they do redraw correctly (I tried using a non-white window background).

Ok, ShellClassic pack released! If there is any problem, please report it in the shoutbox you find in the following link (otherwise it would contribute to create a mess on this thread).

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
