No sweat.And yeah, the least customizable when it comes to the second column.The glyphs are not separate changeable icons, just an all in one <br>
<br>
transparent picture. The reason I stopped way back then, was due <br>
<br>
to the person who made the glyphs only made one size, so only good for %100 size menu.I would have to <br>
<br>
make another picture strip for %125 and %150 sizes. See picture.The selector can only work with white glyphs, for the selector is <br>
<br>
on top of glyph picture, instead of an icon on top of <br>
<br>
the selector.<br>
<br>
Hopefully I'll be able to resolve my issues with the utility, but if not then one can only hope others <br>
<br>
will pick up the torch.Thanks for your help. I've run into this issue that I <br>
<br>
hope someone here can help me with. The PowerShell script restarts the Explorer process in the <br>
<br>
security context of the user, when the thread count of the Explorer process of <br>
<br>
the user exceeds 800 threads.Greetings<br>
<br>
Some of the settings are the specific Classic Shell <br>
<br>
GPO so i am going to recreate the entire policy 1 by 1 and see if i can pinpoint which one(s) cause the issue.<br>
<br>
I'm working around this issue currently by unticking the 'start <br>
<br>
automatically for this user' and pushing that out, along with other user settings via the default user <br>
<br>
profile. I do hope this issue is being taken seriously?<br>

"So happy to find this program. Very well made with lots of options. Makes Windows 7 worth using. Saves me from daily frustration. Thank you so much!" Eric "Brilliant! No more frustration, I can work just like I used to! Thank you!" <br>
<br>
Anonymous Donor Rinse & repeat to get the whole second column x <br>
<br>
3 sizes, 100%,125%,150%.I'll copy most of the added options from Classic 2 version & and put in the 7 style skin,like transparent <br>
<br>
sub, glass sub, white sub, Metro arrows. I'm going to <br>
<br>
release a 7 style glyph screenshot version of Mr bumpy's skin, in the next one or two <br>
<br>
days.I'm just sharpening up the Windows glyphs.It's a bit of a process, as far <br>
<br>
as I know, not possible for CSM to use them directly in a start menu.<br>
<br>
As you can see the icons are out of alignment, and need work.If I do finish it, <br>
<br>
it will be as simple as possible, with no entry changes available on second <br>
<br>
column.<br>
<br>
I tried it (twice), but Classic Shell keeps crashing and taking explore with it (the taskbar goes away and comes back...).<br>
<br>
It improves support for Windows 10 Redstone, adds taskbar <br>
<br>
skinning, menu animations, and many new features.<br>
<br>
Thanks for link , but I wasn't aware Splitwirez shared his work <br>
<br>
( I know him from DA but never saw any release dedicated to 10 ) <br>
<br>
, does he ? Hey Juniper thanks for link , but I wasn't <br>
<br>
aware Splitwirez shared his work ( I know him from DA but never saw any release dedicated to <br>
<br>
10 ) , does he ? Will add lighter opaque dark grey main option.That's about it.<br>

Copy glyph font character from Character map program into MS Word.<br>

<br>
Did you solve the issue or are you just not using Classic Start Menu for now?<br>
<br>
Our set up is in a Secondary School and our explorer keeps freezing <br>
<br>
at 800 threads. If I kill the explorer and restart him later, everything works again fine until the next time.<br>
<br>
Everything is working as its not hit the magic <br>
<br>
800 yet, but it appears that the extra threads are zombies Right now, on this test system, <br>
<br>
its sitting on 631 threads and the PC is otherwise idle.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I uninstalled the whole Office 2016 package and it definitely had impact on the issue, but the explorer freeze is still reproducable.<br>
<br>
The start menu uses about 10 threads itself, most are <br>
<br>
inactive until they are needed.<br>
<br>
It can be a picture or a solid color. Yes, I've been using it for quite some time on Win 7 but <br>
<br>
it doesn't fit the look of Win 10 and that's why I'm looking for <br>
<br>
something new - fitting the new style. I simply don't understand why the default Metro skin uses the "accent" color <br>
<br>
instead the taskbar color I second the request for "classic with 2 columns" support.I <br>
<br>
simply don't understand why the default Metro skin uses the "accent" color instead the taskbar color Although if you find out what's causing the issue with <br>
<br>
the Start Menu and Explorer.exe on Windows 10, do let us know.<br>
<br>
Was there ever any type of additional information, workarounds, or resolution on this issue?<br>
<br>
That looks novel, but doesn't it mean people might suddenly find the taskbar or any <br>
<br>
open folder windows disappearing mid-session?<br>
<br>
And faster than I'd ever hoped to recieve an answer.Works perfectly and suits <br>
<br>
my visual style like a glove (first color choice <br>
<br>
is already perfect).And it even taught me how to create options.Thank you very much!<br>
<br>
Just in case people don't know about this, as I didn't know until Gaurav <br>
<br>
told me, a while back.You can use Win 7 style without the internal tree programs, and have the xp <br>
<br>
fly out programs menu.The settings are under "Main Menu" tab.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
All I can say as a certainty at the moment is that a user with no policies to lock down the desktop, start menu or taskbar <br>
<br>
work fine and users with policies applied (not just classic <br>
<br>
shell policies) experience the issue.<br>
<br>
___________I'm sorry for getting your hopes up, only to shatter <br>
<br>
them. Hi Splitwirez CockadoodleJust a meaningless expression used at <br>
<br>
a time of being speechless, like a Tarzan yell.<br>
<br>
If I do finish it, it will be as simple as possible, with no <br>
<br>
entry changes available on second column. If you <br>
<br>
don't want the dark yellow blend new programs color on mrbumpy409 .skin7,you will need <br>
<br>
to open up the text in the .skin7 file with Resource Hacker.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Is it possible to add these Win 10 icons to this skin? <br>
<br>
The idea is to make the background for new programs a bit <br>
<br>
more yellow than the standard selection color.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Go to the Controls tab in the settings and set all of them <br>
<br>
to open "Nothing" We were having exactly the same issues BigDog, <br>
<br>
everytime you think you're actually getting somewhere...<br>
<br>
At least the users still get the explorer functionality and <br>
<br>
I hold some hope that a future Windows patch or Classic Shell update will <br>
<br>
get over the 800 thread issue ... Without Office 2016 the explorer wont freeze when one of <br>
<br>
the "Choose default apps" settings are opened.Still, by navigating through folders it is still possible to get the <br>
<br>
explorer in an unresponsive state. The threads <br>
<br>
are most likely created as a result of viewing some folder.What were you <br>
<br>
doing at the time the dump was taken? When the start menu <br>
<br>
launches it collects all items from the interesting folders (icons, names, etc).I <br>
<br>
think you can get the same crash when you simply view the Control Panel in Explorer.<br>
