See how the left side is white too? And it makes it look a bit hard. With other skins or the default XP skin the left side is another colour. Is it meant to be white? If so is there anyway i can change it as i love this theme

Cheers

The left side is called 'shellstyle'.

The first release version had the wrong directory structure in the archive. Make sure your 'LE' folder contains a substyle called 'shell'. This should contain two subfolders (NormalColor + BlueC). In each of these there should be a file called 'shellstyle.dll' (the shellstyle).

Apparently the downloads have been corrupted. They now show up as unknown when you download them and even if you rename them to shellstyle.dll it doesn't work. I confirmed that i did everything else right by using a differently shellstyle.dll and putting it in my directory structure and that one worked fine.

rename the file to .RAR...

Does anyone have a mirror for this shellstyle?

Mirrors for the shellstyle:

And to make the explorer search bar use the same gradient you must edit the msstyle (with ResEdit) and change these values:

[ExplorerBar]
GradientColor1 = 0 20 73
GradientColor2 = 52 76 145

    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
