Classic Shell: Forum

Hello everyone,

I am using Windows 7 x86 version.
Classic Shell has always helped me and is one of the best program ever created!

I want to make the toolbar butoons such as 'Delete, Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.' larger in size and display its title like it is present in the Windows 8 File Explorer!

Is it possible to make it bigger in size and look good?

Please help!

There are 3 parts here:
1) To make the buttons bigger than the default size 24x24, you need to change the size in the Toolbar Settings tab

2) To make the big buttons look good you need to use icons that have the image size you selected. Most icons have at least 32x32 and 48x48. If you stick to these sizes all will be good

3) To add a title to the button you need to edit the buttons in the Toolbar Buttons tab and set a label. It will add the text under the icon unless you check "Text is on the side". It will look like the buttons in XP, not like the Windows 8 ribbon though

Here is the icon set I use if it's useful: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ozkb9av08hnol5n/Icons.zip Some are from Windows DLLs, some custom made.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Thank you @Ivo and @GauravK for such a quick response and info.
I am happy with the default set of icons in Classic Shell.

Will try the suggestions and be with feedback soon!

Thanks for a great response!

Alright after about two days of using the toolbar, am happy to say it worked!

I made the buttons larger and added the labels in order to make it like in Windows 8 File Explorer. However, the menu bar of Windows Explorer looks bad but am happy its all set!

Thank you members for helping me out!
