I have patched and installed Blend 2.0 today and replaced the Explorer file with the SP1 x64 file and the theme is not working for me. Did a recent Windows update break the theme?

Anyone can tell me hot to change the Windows Start Orb?

I have applied the theme but still have the default orb :(

If there is a bmp file that comes with it then use this to make it your start orb :)

Try deleting explorerframe.dll and shell32.dll from system32 and pasting the versions that came with theme back in. If your OS is x64 then don't forget to put explorerframe.dll in syswow64 as well :)

Well i don't see any shell32.dll file with the theme...

Do I need to copy the explorerframe.dll from the 32bit folder to system32 and the one from 64bit folder to syswow64?

or only the 64bit file into both folders?

When I am trying to delete explorerframe from system32 I am unable as it is in use... even though I took ownership... any ideas? :) thanks!

you need to close explorer.exe, since it's using this file, then replace it from command line (that's the way I'm doing it).

Some themes don't come with shell32.dll so thats fine and put the 64bit version in both of the folders. And to get around that you could rename the version you are trying to delete to explorerframe.dll(original) and then pasting in the new version.

back up your original explorer and explorer frame before you over write them first. ALWAYS make a back up in case something goes wrong, not sure why this wasn't mentioned last few posts

I realised that after I said to delete them, that's what I meant by renaming explorerframe to explorerframe.dll(original) instead of deleting but just noticed that I forgot to mention that was so you could revert to it in case anything went wrong

Hey Zain, as a special request, can you make a slight mod/mix if you will, I love your Shine 2.0 theme, I still think its the best of all time. But certain elements from Blend 2.0 look better. I'm wondering if you could make a special hybrid version with the Shine 2.0 theme as the base but with the rounded corners on the windows from Blend 2.0.

Thanks beforehand.

Thanks for the work you have done so far Zain, I know you hear it a lot already but I think the community as a whole can't say it enough, it's great stuff. Now I'm wondering if you're okay with someone else modifying the 2 themes to produce the hybrid that I desire. It would be a personal mod of course, with your permission.

i dont know about that.. as i wouldve allow it.

but then again. if somebody does it really nicely then thats something else.

but im doubtful becoz one theme is square the other rounded. and i wouldnt bring them together..

thats like mixing diet coke with red meat :p

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
