Erizur

I would like to mention DWMBlurGlass's parent project, OpenGlass. It tries to recreate and port over most of Glass8's old features into a new program. Doesn't work on anything lower than 10 though. There's also a branch (legacy branch) inside the source code that also recreates the Aero shader as close as possible, considering performance as one of it's priorities.

Sorry for that! I didn't look over the post rules where linking other social media was not allowed. Will take that into consideration.

Here is my main computer using explorer7 on Windows 10 LTSC 2021. I modified my own copy of 7's explorer.exe to have a custom Windows 8 orb.

Based on tihiy's old "Windows 7 Explorer on Windows 8" project, we have accounted for many COM objects and functions that have been removed between 8.1 and 10's development, resulting in a fixed version of this old program for newer Windows versions! THIS PROJECT IS IN A PRE-RELEASE TESTING STAGE. FULL FUNCTIONALITY ISN'T GUARANTEED. REDISTRIBUTION ON CUSTOM ISOs/TRANSFORMATION PACKS/UNATTENDED INSTALLS IS NOT ALLOWED DURING THE PRE-RELEASE TESTING STAGE. There are no plans for a 32-bit version, so please refrain from asking for one. The explorer.exe executable does not handle File Explorer windows, it only manages the Start Menu and Taskbar. If you wish to restore the command bar, use explorer7 in combination with other customization software. INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS Import the "Import Me.reg" file included in the zip file to the registry. Open up ex7forw8.exe. Locate your Windows 7 files and continue the installation. Choose the Windows 7 shell option and log off. Log in again to see the Windows 7 explorer. Enjoy! NOTE: There are extra instructions on the README file. Please read them. Known issues/limitations (General): UWP/Metro UI apps won't run. Current preview of Milestone 2 can run them in an experimental mode. There are no multi-monitor taskbars. This is a Windows 7 limitation. Autoplay may not function properly. Icon badges for compression are visible. This is a Windows 7 limitation, since they did not exist back then. Context menu entries for pinning and unpinning internal start menu items are missing. Known issues/limitations (Windows 10/11): Thumbnails use inactive DWM Colorization. (Windows 10 1809+) (Milestone 1 only) Changing accent color does not reflect until you restart explorer.exe. (Milestone 1 only) Notification icon settings in Control Panel are missing.
