This Is My New Consistant Theme (Concept)

What I mean is this: link of picture ;

It seems that some tools have disrecommended like StartAllBack and ExplorerPatcher, or not being updated has made them too buggy, or microsoft itself disrecommended them?

So what should I do get a toolbar in the taskbar where I can throw a bunch of folders and shortcuts into? Specially if I can have multiple buttons, in the linked picture I have 3 !

Any opinions are highly appreciated. : )

A few of the names I heard are: SystemTrayMenu, StartAllBack, WinaeroTweaker, ExplorerPatcher, Stardock, Retrobar, Qttabar, Start11, ClassicShell, OpenShell, WindHawk;

Will probably add images later

• Windows 10-like Action Center but with Windows 11’s design language (floating, rounded, Fluent, etc.) or the Windows 10X one. I like when everything is in one place, instead of the separate Action Center and Notification Center. Option in Settings to separate them just like Windows 11.
• Move Copilot to the Start Menu or Action Center. If not, move to the left of the taskbar if it is centered.
• Move Search to the left of the taskbar when centered
• Add the ability to make your own menu on the taskbar (or a folder)
• Add even more telemetry /j
• Make Windows Defender fully Fluent
• Make OOBE be in dark mode by default and ask if the system should be in dark mode
• Bring back the “Hero” wallpaper but with the current Windows logo
• Add different-colored variants of the “Bloom” and “Hero” wallpapers
• Update Windows 9x/XP/Vista/7 icons to be Fluent
• Update Metro stuff to be Fluent
• Add support for dark mode to old system components (Run, Control Panel, etc.)
• Allow to center just the program icons on the taskbar, not the Start menu
• Readd toolbars feature
• Readd tablet mode toggle
• Add option to keep Widgets in the Start menu, Action Center, Desktop or the taskbar
• Add option to merge Desktop and the Start menu
• Allow Start menu resizing and making it fullscreen
• Add something like Apple’s Stage Manager
• Make taskbar icon size configuring an option in Settings (it is possible using regedit on Windows 11 but doesn’t show up as an option anywhere)
• Allow taskbar resizing
• Add tabs to Paint
• Readd Sets feature
• Allow hiding the Recommended section and moving All Apps to the main screen in the Start menu
• Update the loading icon systemwide (the login screen still has the Windows 10/8 loading icon)
• Readd moving taskbar to the left and right of the screen and make moving it to the top an option (it is possible using regedit but is not an option)
• More?

i mixed up the default full screen dim and the no dimming ways of the UAC in windows to make something like this. (all done in paint.net)

Windows UWP / Metro Style File Explorer With Tabs sidebar Navigation Pane and Disk Drives

​

I made this start menu to use elements from windows 7, 10 and 11

​

The layout is uses Windows 7

​

The alls apps is a modified verson of windows 10 with folder and app in the all apps section sperate from each other

​

used icons from windows 11

​

in all i also re organized the start menu from the ground up to remove unwanted stuff and add what people actually need no live tiles no forced onedrive or reccomened files and i feell that pinning apps to the start menu is useless and you can just search them or get them in all apps anyway
