  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.

      They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
