WindowBlinds XP Taskbar
Taskbar WRONG
Saturday, May 28, 2022 by WillCrump | Discussion: Skinning
When I apply the eXPerience WindowBlinds theme, the baskbar goes black except for the very end, which is the correct color. I want my taskbar to be the Luna Blue. I have Open Shell Installed. WindowBlinds won't give me the Blue Luna taskbar properly. You can see what happens. Look at my taskbar. Everything else is wonderful. It's just the taskbar that gets screwed all up. If I uninstall WindowBlinds, I get my taskbar back, but the other effects I like go away.

Thanks! I went to the older Classic Shell 4.3.0, but I also had to disable Classic Shell's ability to customize the taskbar. After I did that, I found some more skins for classic shell and now this is what I have:
WindowBlinds now skins the right way to give my 10 Pro the XP look. If only I could now figure out how to get xp-style icons in the control panel. Any ideas?

I'm afraid I'm not very well-versed in icon management. Someone else might know.
Also, I did see in the comment I referenced above that the newer versions of Open Shell should work, in case you didn't get down that far and would prefer an newer version.

I found this rather thorough remark regarding Classic Shell/Open Shell, reply #152 in case the link doesn't drop to it. Looks like you may need a different version of Open Shell.
