github valinet/ExplorerPatcher 22000.194.23

Tested on build: 22000.194.

  • The system tray network icon now opens the WiFi list in Control Center
  • Fixed a bug that showedWin+X on the wrong monitor in certain scenarios
  • Fixed a bug that prevented "Show desktop" from working correctly in Win+X
  • Win+X shows in Windows 11 fashion (centered, above the Start button) if using a centered taskbar with centered Start button as well (using a program like TaskbarX)
  • Provides a notification when the taskbar layouts updates (so that programs like TaskbarX can employ an event-driven model regarding layout updates as well)
  • Fixed the bug that prevented the application from loading inStartMenuExperienceHost.exe (thanks to @BraINstinct0 for the report)
  • Fixed padding and element sizes in GUI so it better fits on smaller screens (thanks to @Gaurav-Original-ClassicShellTester for the report)
  • GUI shows application title when run outside of File Explorer
  • GUI stays on screen and just reloads the settings when restoring defaults (instead of closing)
  • Keyboard (tab) support for GUI: Esc to close the window, Tab to select the next option, Shift+Tab to select the previous option, Space to toggle (or activate) the option
  • Possibility of running the GUI standalone; run this command: rundll32.exe C:\Windows\dxgi.dll,ZZGUI; this has the advantage that it stays on the screen after restarting File Explorer
  • Implemented configuration GUI; to access it, right click the Start button (or press Win+X) and choose "Properties" (thanks to @BraINstinct0 for the suggestion)
  • When the taskbar is located at the bottom of the screen, opening the power user menu (Win+X) now automatically highlights the "Desktop" entry in the list. Also, the menu items can be activated either with left click, either with right click. Thus, this enables a behavior where you can double click the Start button with the right mouse button in order to quickly show the desktop (thanks to @Gaurav-Original-ClassicShellTester for the suggestion)
