If all is successful than you can post your screenshot in the "Screenshot" board. Glad everything is working. Well since it's not working completely I'll post it here to not split the convo in two threads, hopefully I can do that or else I'll remove the attachment later  It's actually working on every window now EXCEPT explorer  the windows are both active because I edited the screenshot to include both of them in one picture and not upload two different screenshots. I'm actually thinking that it may be classic shell's fault? Even though I don't know how and if it affects the explorer titlebar at all. Go to File Explorer Settings (either using the explorer command bar or Control Panel) > View > Check Launch Folder Windows in a separate process. BTW, were those icons part of a pack that you can install, or were those manually installed? |

It looks kinda bugged/glitched but I'm pretty sure it's the problem that has been mentioned at the start of this convo, so I'll try that fix and report if everything is solved! YUP! The "DwmUnExtendFrame - Extended Glass Titlebar Remover" fixed the glitched look of the titlebar, now the classic theme works perfectly! Thank you very much ihatemetro and ʇǝǝๅ ftw for the generous and fast help  |

For OldNewExplorer uncheck the enable glass option to get rid of the transparency, and use this for a working search (Will not work if you upgrade to 2004): winaero.com/restore-classic-search-in-file-explorer-in-windows-10-version-1909/ |

Ok, the theme works perfectly but now there is another issue  Win10 setting window and new task manager won't open when the theme is applied, I had to install the old task manager in order to have one at all  |

Settings window is being fixed. The task manager is a known quirk with using classic theme. You can't fix it

It's totally fine to use the old one I'm actually loving it, it helps with the whole feeling/theme  but thank you for the link, it might be helpful! |

I want to use Simple Classic Theme sooo bad, but it seems to ruin my right click context menus in Explorer (My Computer, etc.)  They are missing the text! Context menus were also not working on the desktop and the taskbar, until I rebooted. The taskbar was too narrow and the buttons were missing text, again, until I rebooted. I thought I was good to go but the context menus still don't work in Explorer. I'm using Open-Shell 4.4.160. Anyone know what might cause this? |

You must use ExplorerContextMenuTweaker, not a perfect solution because you have to right click on something to inject. It should be in the SCT. The taskbar problem that you're discribing is that "botched" taskbar, The only solution is to replace the taskbar with another one. For the taskbar context menus, it requires TaskbarContextMenuTweaker, you would have to create a shortcut to it and put it in shell:startup to make it start in startup. |

ALSO, dialog box buttons are too small!  Here is the same dialog in Windows 7 with Classic-Shell (i.e., what it's supposed to look like):  If it helps, here is the font I'm using for the buttons... I'm REALLY attached to it! (I've been using it since Windows 98!) www42.zippyshare.com/v/QKKW2LTH/file.html |

You would have to live with it, at least it doesn't appear often. |

The ExplorerContextMenuTweaker **almost** works... but nested context menus are still often missing...  |

Well, this is looking bad.... I can't use Windows Settings now. Bringing up Windows Settings only shows this:  If I hit the "disable" button in Simple Classic Theme, Windows Settings now works.  I'm on Windows 10 Pro x64 1909. |
