So, on occasion, I like to test out themes and such. I use the Tango Super Patcher at home and am pretty happy with it. I'm currently running the excellent Watercolor Emico Black theme. Anyway, I was playing around at work and I had forgotten about it, but I think LONG ago I had installed the Vista Inspirat Bricopack. I'm not sure of this, but I'll tell you what's happening and maybe you can let me know if this is correct.

 

Today, I installed a bunch of themes before deciding on the Watercolor one. However, I noticed that with the Watercolor theme, I all of a sudden had the common tasks bar above the details view in my Windows Explorer. I always have the folders shown in lieu of the common tasks. I wasn't sure if this was a remnant of a theme I'd installed or what. So I installed the same theme at home and no go. I am using the QT Tabbar and Addressbar, but this is unrelated and doesn't seem to affect this toolbar appearing. For some reason, it ONLY appears with the Watercolor themes (and only at work) and will disappear if I use a different theme.

 

To describe it, it is a thin toolbar between the top of the righthand details view (above Name, Size, Type, Date Modified) and is themed (in this case, like the Watercolor theme) with the usual common tasks on it - New folder when nothing is selected, copy to, move to, etc when a file is clicked on.

 

What gives? Is this a program I can download on its own? How did this get left over? Am I way off base and this isn't a Bricopack thing at all? Perhaps it is something another of the themes I've tried installed. I'll post pics here tomorrow if no one has any ideas.

 

Thanks in advance.

From what I read, I believe this is a shellstyle (common tasks bar/pane) which is a part of the theme. Its the shellstyle.dll found in all themes :smile:

Yes, check the themes you use, there are folders called shell and inside it`s the shellstyle.dll. You can chaqnge the shellstyle.dll between all windows-themes (visual-styles).

 

With different shellstyle.dlls the common tasks bar/panel can be at the top of the windows-explorer, or on the left side, right side.

 

the shellstyle file for Luna is here:
C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Luna\Shell\NormalColor\shellstyle.dll
