This is a great theme :D.... But I have a small problem, I have used the uxtheme patcher both the x64 and the x86 patcher.. The theme itself works... I replaced the Explorerframe.dll in SysWow64, but when I replace the Explorerframe.dll in the system32 folder explorer.exe wont start when windows starts. Im I doing anything wrong?

I had that issue before, but I couldn't do certain things in explorer.

Then I realised, you aren't supposed to change the ExplorerFrame.dll in the SysWOW64 folder. Only change then System32 ExplorerFrame.dll

well it wont work if u copy explorerframe.dll to both system32 & syswow64 folders

they are 2 diff files that need to be edited

so what i do is i open a resource hacker copy the bitmap folder from system32 explorerframe.dll then replace syswow64 explorerframe.dll bitmaps

no problems

There is a 64bit and a 32bit explorerframe.dll included with the theme... but I will try your solution thanks... :)

you don't need to change the syswow64 version, you should never have to change that version

only change the one in system32

wanna bet ?

if you save something in google chrome the back/forward buttons are set to windows default

thats one of the reason for replacing syswow64 explorerframe.dll

I replaced the bitmaps in the 32bit explorerframe.dll and no errors on startup this time, but I didn't see any changes to the back buttons.... Im now using the orginal explorerframe.dll together with the Blend theme, it still looks good :cool: . I don't wanna spent more time on getting the explorerframe.dlll to work :p Anyway thanks for your help

I replaced it as instructed....here's how it looks in firefox now.

strange...after I applied the fix and saved and rebooted it locked me out of my system...

I was only able to get back in by going into 'safe mode' and changing the theme to something else

and then replacing with the original Blend 2.0 files.

any thoughts on that Zain ? or did I do something wrong when saving the file?

did u replace it with the SHIFT key?

im sorry.

u replaced it just fine.. mayb it saved wrong or something..

its a little darker but thats what i had to do to fix the problem..

guys is it fine?? i mean should i repack the theme with this fix?

yes I used the 'shift' key as instructed Zain.

it appeared to save the theme successfully and asked did I want to apply...to which I said yes.

it was only after the reboot that the problem surfaced...very strange indeed...only seems to happen when I replace an image.

the first release of Blend 2.0 Beta doesn't appear to have the firefox problem though Zain...

did you change something from that version to the Final version?

screenshot shows Firefox with original Blend 2.0 Beta running...

obviously i had to make a button with round corners for blend 2.0

the problem is that i can make an opaque one.

but it wont go with the rest of the buttons in the theme... thats my only concern. anyhow if it works im gona pack the theme with that file and update it.. and u guys can let me know if it works.. ill post here when i update it.

    • Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. About time.
    • Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
