  1. Un-pin everything from the superbar
  2. Download some nice-looking icons. I used Token.
  3. Start changing icons in the start menu.
  4. Re-pin them.

At least, that's how I did it. Tried changing the icon from the jumplist and it didn't work..

EDIT: @KJ: Thanks. That was quick. Can't wait for the next release :)

very nice thx ! how do you change the Windows explore icon ?

Thats the only one I can't seem to change either Spork

btw is there a fix for the 32 bit white bar bug yet?

Hi,

There is no fix yet as I have to download Windows 7 x86 to fix them.

You can read about the current situation here: http://k-johnson.deviantart.com/journal/

Thanks :)

Any chance you plan to introduce the arrowish button you have in the small taskbar version for the big taskbar version? (or modify an x64 explorer just for me ^^ ? ) I absolutely love it!

I changed this one, and pinned it to the superbar:

Why don't you just press SHIFT and right click a Superbar item? That's a much easier way to change the icon for a Superbar item, instead of changing the icon and repinning the items.

@-KJ: As I said on deviantART, nice job so far. I'll be trying it out once it hits final :)

Meh... I registered just for this very purpose in a probably naive hope, that someone will be able to help with my problem. I did IMO virtually anything to apply the style but it just won't work... I manually replaced explorer.exe, used uxstyle core, used uxtheme patcher and nada... only thing I got is the black round Start button. Weird thing is, I DO get the "sharp look" when I alt-tab out of game (on the game window)... what the hell? :(

Lol, I suppose I can release the .PSD for them? They are all done using vector masks and layer styles, so anyone familiar with them and Photoshop can resize and create their own :)

I totally want the .PSD... I'll use resource hacker and edit it myself! Pleaseee!

BTW I love the style, I really it do... it's amazing. I used it on Vista, now using it on 7 64x :]

I don't know if it's win7 or the theme, or the explorer replacement (using x64 here), but when I bring the computer out of sleep mode, my desktop wallpaper will be shrunken to a 1024 x 768 mode, or sometimes I won't be able to see the border window for digsby.

      I hate religious supremacist genocidal maniacs. How antisemitic of you to imply that's what all Jews are like. Still no links I see. I guess when you're a zionists, backing your claims with proof doesn't matter. bEliEvE mE oR yOuRe hItLeR.

      Moto G Stylus has better specs and a stylus. Search for the specs to see if they they're important to you.

      Funny how people who don't use OneDrive feel the need to give their opinion.

All changes made by Win11Debloat can be easily reversed, and most removed apps can be restored via the Microsoft Store. A full guide on how to undo the changes is available here. Win11Debloat features: Below is an overview of the key features and functionality offered by Win11Debloat. Please refer to the wiki for more information about the default settings preset.
