Avoid rendering File Explorer

Is it possible to set an option so that the file explorer windows don't get skinned?

I like a particular theme and the dialogs look nice. But I prefer the windows 10 dark theme for the file explorer.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. You can try to exclude explorer.exe in your exclude list but, since explorer.exe is big part of Windows GUI. It will effect some other things too.

Thanks

Hi

I am afraid that I was not able to use this approach. Whilst File Explorer looked Ok Windows Blinds was not rendering many components on the dialogues.

The skin I was using was ice. I can no longer find it on your system. It would be nice if it could leave File Explorer alone since I have the dark theme and I like it.

Hello,

Ice by danioc, I believe, is one of Theme that come with Windowblinds. If you accidently delete it, you just need to reinstall Windowblinds to get it back.

As for the File explorer. There is currently no option to excluded just it in Windowblinds.

Thank you,

In that case can I please ask you to review Ice with respects to Windows 10 and Dark Theme mode. It doesn't work well when dark mode is in play and needs some tweaked version to be better in this configuration.

I know. But I like Ice, and I like the File explorer. I also have dark realm. But Ice was the one I liked the most.
