Windows 10: How would one edit explorer.exe to display backgrounds win 10

hi all

Seems now possible to have custom explorer background running 10586 ( tested under windows 10 pro x64 - build 10586.36 )

Thanks to gsw953 from virtualcustoms for helping me editing my patched theme to do that

- classic shell start menu custom background ( thanx to Jcee for providing an easy classic skin to edit and and Juniper7 for some advices to fix some issues when displaying custom image of my own)

- windows explorer patched with TH2 workaround by cu99 ( I'm using too QTTABS bar from Quizo )

- credits to gsw953 for his nice theme here :Thin White Line-revisited -for Windows 10 TH2 by gsw953onDA on DeviantArt
- credits to Mr Grim for his new vista style builder classes for win 10 which add ability to make own custom background

- it seems possible to get the same result with resource hacker editing the msstyles file ( have to do some more testing )

- I'm using donaware aeroglass to get rid of watermark and pop up reminder ( as I said before , last version 1.4.5 is now fully compatible with build 10586 )

- OldNewExplorer must be installed too for full working

 

Thanks!

After many more months of testing QTTabBar, I must say that it works great and does not cause any problems in Windows, except I cannot create folders on my Android phone via USB connection (not a big problem).
