WinXShell - a portable shell and zero dependencies for boot.wim,winre.wim

slore,

    your work is amazing 

The time,date format is use the system settings. but can't hide one of them.
Well, I will add a custom format for this, also think about a customize option for the display font.

sounds good.

on another topic, could i have permission to add your shell in a project i'm working on? if i include you in a credits.txt ?

it's a completetly free project that debloats windows 10 th1 through to rs5. basically a autorun gui with buttons that perform various tweaks, disable services, restores some old features by replacing system files with older versions, add stuff back to control panel, removes all the appx stuff (apps, start menu and settings app),
removes windows runtime components and lots of other stuff new to windows 10 that wasn't in 7.

it's called project10to7 which means it aims to slim down windows 10 to around the size of windows 7 by removing as much of the modern / metro crap as possible.

i've already integrated a load of free apps / tools which i put in two new system folder (system33 & syswow65) to keep stuff seperate, open shell is already part of it.

i haven't released it yet as i'm just adding free apps atm and finishing off rs5 slimming.

This portable shell is free to use, it's not full functional for normal Windows yet, if it's good to your condition, help yourself.

it's pretty functional to me :) it'll be an optional shell switch in my project. you'd be suprised how many users are out there that don't like all the metro stuff / looking to make windows 10 more like pre 8.x.

anyway, thnx man, i shall add you to the list of credits for included free apps.

Hey, which dlls needed to make it desktop ?

In winpe need -winpe :)

Hi, LiteOS

The Desktop no need dlls, just make sure  no other shell is runing(explorer.exe or wallpaperhost.exe).
the File Explorer need 3 dlls.

'-winpe' will auto close current shell, so make sure WinXShell.exe run as shell.

Is there a way to hide the volume icon thru a config setting?

Hi, osninja

System's volume icon(stobject.dll)?  now there is no option for hiding icons in config file.

Which Windows you are use WinXShell now? normal windows or PE?

give me this infomation, I can build a update version for this.

I plan to add a UI_Settings for configure some stuffs of the Shell, but I don't mush time to
do with WinXShell.exe now.

Hey,

I believe so? The standard volume systray icon.


Inside PE, windows 7 based pe 3.0.

Thanks for making such an amazing shell!

Hi, osninja


add two options to ignore or hide volume tray icon/network tray icon.

Code: [Select]

  "JS_NOTIFYAREA":
  {
    "volume_icon": "ignored",
    "network_icon": "hidden"
  },

ignored for removing the tray icon, never shows.
hidden for hiding the tray icon on startup, you can make it to be visible by notification settings or clicking show/hide icon button.

It worked perfectly. Thank you!!

Is there a way to make UI_Display change DPI from 96 to 120 when the resolution is set to 1080p or higher?  Things get very small in PE otherwise.. (4k is way too small)

Not sure if this even matters because it or something would have to be run during boot to correct DPI before we even enter the settings if its the default res during boot.....I know it doesnt do that..  But maybe food for thought for future updates...

Hi, bob.omb

It needs logoff to apply in WIN7, so it is not good for PE.
but WIN10 can apply with it, I can try it.
and as "switch to admin" plugin, the logoff, login maybe can be done also in PE.

Busy time, I am not sure when I can put my hand to the work.

Can there be an option to hide the safely remove hardware icon?

Hi, osninja
I thoght I is usefull tray icon so didn't deal with it.
as requested, I will make a update tomorrow for this.

Hi, osninja

add two options for power/plug tray icon state.

Code: [Select]

"JS_NOTIFYAREA":
  {
    "power_icon": "hidden",
    "plug_icon": "ignored"
  },

 WinXShell_x64_bin.zip (1052.75 kB - downloaded 45 times.)
 WinXShell_x86_bin.zip (897.08 kB - downloaded 43 times.)

Thanks.

Power icon setting worked but not the plug icon. Tested the 32 bit version.

This is what is shown if it helps.

fyi i wanted the power icon shown, i left that enabled

this is not doing anything however:

    "plug_icon": "ignored"

or

    "plug_icon": "hidden"
