I sometimes like to disable visual styles on some applications by using ~ disablethemes, however I recently noticed that the Windows XP like open/save dialogs no longer open in current versions of Firefox, Chromium or Pale Moon. This is concerning because this will most likely effect other future versions of Paint.NET and etc. Is there any way to bring it back/hook it back?

Sorry, but I do not really understand the relationship between the old open/save dialogue box and the ~disablethemes parameter. |

Sorry, but I do not really understand the relationship between the old open/save dialogue box and the ~disablethemes parameter. This is how they usually look like even when you enable the classic theme:  On older applications or one's that are used with the ~ disablethemes compatibility flag they look like this:  Seems like a new update to some kind of SDK somewhere now deprecated the old dialog box thus making it fail to show up when attempting to select a file and etc on newer versions of browsers and etc. Thus I was wondering if there's any way to fix it. I'm using an old copy of Windows Server 2016 with the original menus still intact. |

I think the only long term solution would be to force the system to always display the old dialog box, for example by hooking. |

Would be cool if you or someone wrote a fix, cos I'm a noob with coding. |

You may try to ask the creator of Explorer Patcher for this, because his program already provides choice between old and new alt+tab dialogs, tray flyouts and command bars in Explorer.
