22000.318.38.8

on GitHub

Tested on build 22000.318.

New features

• Functional Windows 10 network flyout
• Functional Windows 10 battery flyout
• Implemented support for Windows 7 battery flyout (#274)
• Implemented /extract switch which unpacks the files from ep_setup.exe to disk (#396) (.1):
  • ep_setup /extract - extracts ExplorerPatcher.IA-32.dll and ExplorerPatcher.amd64.dll to current directory
  • ep-setup /extract test - extracts to test folder in current directory
  • ep-setup /extract "C:\test with space" - extracts to C:\test with space directory
• Taskbar toolbar layouts are preserved when switching between Windows 10 and Windows 11 taskbars and in general (these will be reset when installing this update but should be subsequently remembered) (#395) (.2)
• Implemented option to toggle taskbar auto-hide when double clicking the main taskbar (#389) (.3)
• Running ep-setup.exe again while EP is already installed will now update the program to the latest version. To uninstall, as the previous behavior did, run ep_setup.exe /uninstall (.4)
• Implemented absolute height and width parameters for the Windows 10 switcher. These are especially useful for ultra wide monitors, in a scenario similar to the one described in this post - to configure, set MaxWidthAbs and/or MaxHeightAbs DWORD values in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ExplorerPatcher\sws (#110) (.5)
• Provides a simple mechanism for chainloading a custom library when the shell interface is created, from which you can execute your custom code (subject to change, see this for more details) (#408) (.6)

Feature enhancements

• Improved reliability when invoking Control Center (Win+A) when the taskbar icon is disabled (the icon should now not reappear anymore sometimes) (#242)
• Small reorganization of some options in "Properties"

Fixes

• Windows 10 network and battery flyout should now always launch when the tray icon is clicked (#410) (.1)
• Fixed mismatches between defaults from EP and Windows' defaults (.3)
• Application starts with limited functionality on builds lacking hardcoded symbol information; symbol downloading is disabled for now, by default, but can be enabled in the "Advanced" settings section of "Properties" (.7)
• Improvements to how hung windows are treated by the Windows 10 window switcher; fixed an issue that severely delayed the time it took the window switcher to display when a window hung on the screen (#449) (.8)
