In windows 10 the classic taskbar is gone when using Ibmpad's classictheme mod and the context menu at taskbar contains no text  Please add a tweak to enable the classic taskbar to windows 10 in classicshell my eyes can not take the ugly theming anymore .here is the classictheme http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=113024 works fine in win8 but the taskbar is corrupt in windows 10 context menus miss text (but work) i would be happy if classic taskbar got added back as an option. |

Taskbar can't be skinned in Windows 10. Try killing Windows 10's explorer, and using XP's or Vista's from a DIFFERENT location. This will only affect the taskbar, since explorer windows are always opened from C:\WINDOWS. Note that both XP's and Vista's start menus don't work on Windows 8 or later, so for Vista's explorer, you may want a REALLY old version of Classic Shell, and for XP...you're not going to have a working "all programs" list, but the rest of the 2-column menu works fine with the Classic Theme .-. EDIT: I'll upload both explorers to my Mediafire account later tonight and link them here ._. EDIT: Here's XP's explorer: http://www.mediafire.com/download/nj1cb ... plorer.zip Enjoy (Also note that XP's taskbar turns blindingly white if not Classic'd in Windows 10 ._. ) |

It wont work i have turned off the theming with classictheme while there were no problems with the taskbar in windows 8 the problems happen when i use ibmpads classictheme that completely disables theming . Windows 10 does not turn off themes on taskbar and messes up context menus thus why we need it in classic shell . Not everybody likes the ugly msstyles theming |

Is this XP's explorer? I think it should not be much functional. |

The explorer Windows are completely inaccessible, but since it's being launched from a location other than C:\WINDOWS , we still get the explorer windows from Windows 10, and XP's explorer only provides the (classic theme-compliant) Taskbar ^-^ ...it's a bit screwy, but it does the job, and (ironically) the not-particularly-functional Start Menu problem could probably be fixed using ViStart. Since, you know, Classic Shell isn't available for Windows XP, but ViStart is. ( D: ) |

I had tried XP explorer on Win7 or Win8 and as I recall, the tray does not work there. |

Hmm...I wonder if Vista's explorer would work better... ...I'll try it now. If I can find it on my Vista disk, that is. EDIT: Vista explorer's tray works!! ...but that's pretty much the only adventage it has :/ XP's explorer is in every other way more functional...though that still isn't saying much... ...makes you wonder why they work at all, but not correctly... |

Do you have a screenshot of Vista's explorer under Win10 with Classic theme? Have you tried Win8's Explorer? |

Interestingly, it works even in Vista mode (this means one can run the 64-bit version as well this way). Is running Vista Explorer under Win10 is just the same, starting it in Vista compat mode? What about getting the desktop, the XP explorer does not produce one. |

Well, Vista's Explorer does not run in Vista mode under Win8.1. Maybe it is because it also needs the MUI file replaced! |

It's a pain to get that one to run, but it can be done. MUI file is optional, IIRC. |
