Classic Shell: Forum

explorer toolbar looks overugly out of box. ewwish. why only icons from Windows are used when you are find freely licensed icons at iconfinder.net? they can be embedded into your dlls. also some buttons are without icons. EWW. HOW TO GET RID OF THE COMMAND BAR? i do not need it with CS. also I do not like settings. when I doble click i expect button removing not properties.

Also why it shows me menu bar!! please listen to me. put some nice free license icons, buttons for add-remove like << and >>, also no fucking command bar please also i need to hide menu bar. tollbar takes compact space but menu bar and command bar i want to hide pls reply

Yes, only icons from Windows DLLs are used by Classic Shell. It is a good suggestion to use freely available icons.

Command Bar currently can't be disabled (you will need to patch some OS files to disable it - not supported by Classic Shell). Also, menu bar can't be hidden. If at least one Explorer toolbar is showing, then the menu bar automatically gets enabled. It is a limitation of Explorer.

Buttons to add/remove commands is also a good suggestion.

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

I have the command bar hidden on my system, here's a tutorial on how to do it:

Just be sure you're ok with modifying system files. The tutorial is for Windows Vista, but it's the exact same process in Windows 7 (and in Windows 8/8.1 if you have ribbon disabled).

I actually agree with you on the add/remove buttons, that would be nice (like in Windows XP) just as long as you can still drag and drop commands.
