Windows 10: Windows 10 AU 1607: Icon Text Left Justified

Well, you appear to be using a number of extensions there.. maybe those are causing it to be centered.

BTW The (to the original poster) 1607 is Redstone 1 not TH2.

 

Tried turning off Qttabbar.. no effect at first, but closing and relaunching explorer without it
I get the left justified text.

So I guess a workaround is to install Quizo's Qttabbar (free).

(I use it for tabs and to colour backgrounds as I find off-white hard on the eyes).

Without Qttabbar:

 

I have QT Tab bar installed and I still have the problem :/

 

Same here, (the original QTTabBar), justified left is a little different but not a deal breaker.

 

Hi, I'm using Quizo's v1038, the last version I installed pre-upgrade and the current one.
QTTabBar - QuizoApps

That's Quizo's, not the original version on SouceForge if I have that right.

In the start menu, the Qttabbar folder includes 'Explorer (safe mode)'
Launching this again gives left justified text, whereas explorer launched with Qttabbar displays tile text as we'd prefer.

If you're using the same version, the only other think I can think is it's how I've configured it.. which is to colour the background areas.
Hope that helps.

 

It seems to only affect Medium and Large Icon views.

 

I tried the latest version, and even older ones and the problem still persists for me.
Colouring the backgrounds also does not solve it. I think your one of the lucky ones who has not been affected by this
There is obviously a bug somewhere in explorer that Microsoft have missed as it has happened to people who don't even use QTTabbar.

I think Quizo's is the original creator, the SourceForge version is just a fork that someone started when Quizo stopped developing. However he came back to the project and continued his work.

 

Hi, thanks for trying this. If I disable Qttabbar in explorer options, I get the left justified text as I think I posted above.

It could be some setting in Qttabbar:

Could you try ONLY enabling
Qt base toolbar in Options.

 

Just tried that, but still doesn't solve my problem *Sad

 

Enabling and disabling that for me determines (after closing and relaunching explorer.. did you do that)? whether text is left justified for medium & large icons.

 

Could you post a screenshot of that option?

 

Hi, it is that option, consistently. Should have said View, Options in Explorer to be clear, sorry.
Too many options.




Coincidently, this is related to another oddity about which I posted a question (not surprisingly unanswered): blank icons for recent files in Quick Access.

Disabling the same toolbar restores those icons.

 

I have the same problem with justification but don't have that toolbar.

 

This needs a fix. I hate how MS take two steps forward and on step back.

What was the need to change text alignment? They are their own worst enemy. It's the details that make a product.

 

Suggest you send feedback (feedback in Cortana's search box e.g.) or report via MS's technet forum.
