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:

    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
