Details Pane Mod for Windows 8.1 Discontinued!!

mainly it effects Modern apps, I found that most apps won't install and some will not work at all.

lol "lack of ignorance"  ... I meant the other way... Me no thinks so good theese dayz

It's possible but you need to have a custom shellstyle.dll with the shell32.dll UI files for the topshell present and I have those if needed.

Please read the artists comments before asking questions, I have clearly stated.

This mod has now become obsolete please use OldNewExplorer instead, it's much safer and doesn't alter any system files www.msfn.org/board/topic/17037…

The command bar can be disabled with a custom shellstyle.dll, there are plenty of themes that already do this, just use the shellstyle.dll from one of those themes, this is one for example you can use the shellstyle.dll from neiio.deviantart.com/art/Work-…

In the Windows Style builder install directory "AveApps\Windows Style Builder\Data\Win8" you need to find the ClassMap.xml and edit the relevant places to add the new classes.

Find:

<class description="Explorer List Items" name="ItemsView">

And edit the class to look like:

<class description="Explorer List Items" name="ItemsView">
<parts>
<part id="1" name="SearchQueryOutline">
<states>
<state id="1" name="Initial"/>
<state id="2" name="Transistioned"/>

<part id="9" name="Branding">

The branding and genuine classes are only applicable if you are also using my custom systemcpl.dll, for the folder background you need the modified explorerframe.dll and the other ones you already know need the modified shell32.dll

These extras could be placed anywhere in the class maps, the only thing you need to make sure of is that the system files are also using the same classes.

Yeah I am aware of this problem, sadly this will not be fixed though, I have done all I can to get it working on Windows 8.1, the only solution is to run sfc /scannow and restore any modified files if you want new apps from the app store then install the mod again afterwards, hopefully some time in the future Tihy the developer of Start Is Back will release his Windows 8 Explorer improvement program which he plans on adding this feature back with, I expect it will work with some sort of dll injection hooking system similar to way he brought back the start menu.
