Iv looked in my Windows > System folder and I cant find a "shellstyle.dll" file anywhere :(

Am I looking in the right place?

Tom

The "Shell" folder is where shellstyle.dll resides, there's one for each color scheme. You don't need to do anything with it just leave it in the folder with the visual style. :) Shellstyles skin the left part of the window, the "Common Tasks" pane as seen in the attached pic. They also control colors and fonts for explorer and some other areas. I hope that answers your question. :)

denied: You can get samurize at samurize.com. ;)

Thanks guys. :happy:

Sorry Razor, I misunderstood what you were asking. Been awhile since I looked in the goodies folder so I assumed that there were actual shell32.dll replacements in there, as opposed to the shellstyle.dll files found with the visual style itself (didn't realize they were even in the goodies folder). Anyhow sorry for the confusion and glad that giga could clear it up.

Any chance on getting a mirror for the file? I can't seem to download it from the link in the first post.

Damn edit timeout... Anyhow, not sure why the link wouldn't be working for you. I just check it where I'm at and had someone else see if they could get it to work, both times it did (not saying it's truly not for you). Can't since I'm at work, but someone might be able to send it to you via some other method.

for those who care, this is what I was thinking. I did this in all of 2 min, so yea it sucks, but its a general idea

Unfortunately, it's impossible to do the taskbar you show. You can't do that kinda precision and do different parts different colors.

darn, I wasn't sure or not, I don't do styles. if it could be done and he didn't want to do it, I was going to try to do it on my own, just change the QL area. oh well.

I think he means people posting screenshots of their mods, which by the way I've asked people not to do.

Razor: You can get the Sun wallpaper here.

raekwon: Saint Dark posted the last update of c10k (the one in this thread ) on deviantart and he named it "Classix 10k 2", it's identical to the one I posted but without the "Extras" folder.

iCe|: I'm using Bluecurve shell32 that I got from Rivak's site. I replaced most of the icons though with Gnome and BeOS icons.

I plan on doing one more color scheme and beige taskbars then I'll release an update. It'll be done soon. I've also modified the samurize configs I made to match better with 2.0, I'll throw those in too.

One more color scheme!? Yay! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us. :happy:

    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
    • I have been using Firefox for years.
    • I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
