Thanks for the confirmation. I will update the explorer.exe file soon.

@ViperAFK: I fixed the Start Menu bug; will update the .rar package once done updating the new Explorer.exe files (x86/x64). I appreciate your bug reports with the image attachment.

Not really a bug update, but for those who can't take ownership of explorer inside your user account or without using Group Policy, this is how.

1. Right-click explorer.exe

2. Go to Properties

3. Select the Security tab

4. Hit the Advanced button near the bottom-right of the window

5. In this new window, hit the Owner tab

6. Hit the Edit button

7. Select your name/account and hit Apply

8. Hit Apply or OK until all the windows are closed

9. Right-click explorer.exe again and go back into Properties

10. Select the security tab again and hit the Edit button

11. Select your username (yourusername\Users) and checkmark the Full Control box

12. Apply or Ok your way out of those windows and you're done.

Also, for a bug report, the font in CCleaner is really screwy. I'll upload a screenshot.

Thanks for the theme and your hard work... could you maybe get rid of the white box on the taskbar though?

I also noticed that. It has only appeared that way in CCleaner for me, but I will continue searching why it's behaving that way. Thanks for reminding me :)

@Ionium: No problem. I will sort the problem, just give me some time as I will have to install Windows 7 x86 version. It seems to only happen on x86, but x64 is fine.

Uh what am I doing wrong? I place the folder in the zip file into C:\windows\resources\themes and double click the .theme file... but it doesn't change styles?

Did you patch the necessary files?

Extract everything to C:\Windows\Resources.

So now you should have a folder in that directory called clsSharp, and a file in that directory called clsSharp.theme.

I never installed by double-clicking the theme file, but if you right-click on your desktop and click on Personalization, you should be able to scroll down and see the theme under 'Installed Themes'.

@ Kirbeh: Yeah, sorry for the wait. It's up now along with a bugfix for the Start Panels.

@ rm20010: Is this on x86? x86 seems to be having graphical problems where white/blank graphics are strangely appearing.

On x64, I don't have these problems. Here is what my x64 search button looks like:

I will install Windows 7 x86 tomorrow to fix these blank graphics.

Thanks for the report.

It looks like an excellant theme but how do I replace explorer.exe to get the theme to work?

I've patched all the necessary files, now I'm just waiting for explorer.exe to be replaced by it keeps denying me (because obveously I'm using explorer.exe, so If I wanted to replace explorer.exe, I would have to quit explorer but I wouldn't be able to replace it because I'm using it to replace explorer.exe). And safe mode won't let me replace it.

What am I doing wrong? it's really annoying me that it wont let me replace it.

hmmm.... I downloaded and merged the take ownership into the reg but I can not see "take ownership" in the right click menu, although I can in nearly every other file I right click. Also tried in the Administrator account but still can't see "take ownership".

Sorry, I know I'm getting a little offtopic but it will eventually get me the theme working. :)

I absolutely love this theme. I was waiting forever for it to be ported, and now that it finally has, I can say that it was well worth the wait.

I love everything about it. The start menu and taskbar are extremely sleek, and the new Orb complements them perfectly. I love the User Picture border as well. All the controls and little details were paid attention to, and were all changed to complement the theme.

Overall, this theme is excellent!

Found a way, you can go to the group policy editor and go to User Configuration > system > custom user interface and select enabled and type in the path of your new explorer.exe and it will use it as default :)

That is a good, and probably safest solution for this, I recommend this to theme makers.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
