Inserting Folderband to Preview Pane in windows 7.
Folderband is the command Toolbar that exist to the top side of explorer , there which is written Organise, Open, etc

Inserting Folderband to Preview Pane via adding code to shell32.dll, means : when we use the Shortcut Alt + P , preview pane in the right side of our window opened, and also the Folderband appeared.
If we select again the Shortcut Alt + P ,preview pane in the right side of our window is closed, and also the Folderband disappeared.
thats the reason that i decide to insert to Preview pane and not to any other part , because preview pane can also open/close via Keyboard shortcut.

So we have 'Economy' with the ancient greek language meaning, that means we have fubctionality and appearring when we want and when we dont want we dissapear both Preview pane and Folderband, so we have release space to our window + elegancy + easiness .
Even if we use an Autohidding FOLDERBAND this does NOT flicker, does not goes up and down as it happens when we use it in the normal position when we set the code to shellstyle.dll for autohing.


This modification made by ZEUSosX, but i also like to thank Panda x and DM-moinmoin for the support.

Made in Hellas = Greece.

its not simple or ease, also the code does not applied as 'should', so this takes alot of time indeed.

Plz make a video on how to download the mac theme, the grey leopard one I downloaded it like 5 times and when i do it, it keeps going back to windows 7 theme not mac :(

this because you have to restart, first.
this propably because of microsoft updates, the small utility that enable the 3rd party themes to be used, temporarily stops working. so restart, and then re select the theme name.

not realeased yet.

there , some 'bugs' , like :

1. when we mouse over forexample to some folders like Programm files , we have preview of them in Preview Pane.
normal in preview pane we have preview to images, mp3 or notepad texts, and not to folder. So : to some folders we have preview , even if he text is written : No preview available.

2. when we select a text, folderband complete dissapears from preview pane, if we deselect it, or if we select any folder , it appears again [with fuctionality ofcourse]
i could make folderband appears even if we select text via additionsal code, though that folderband in text does not work, not having functionality, so i left it as is, when we select text no folderband.

----
i have not used microsoft parameters 'as is', i mean i have added some parameters of mine: why:
because if we 'writte' the code in the way microsoft has written [about preview pane + the code lines of folderband, that happen is this: when an image, or mp3 is appearing to preview pane then folderband appeared, but when there empty space [No preview available] the folderband dissapeared from preview pane.

with prameter code i added after alot of experiments to this, Folderband always appeared to preview pane[except the case with the preview of text and perchaps the preview of administrator picture] but to the most cases is opened [though bug number 1 = to some folders we have preview , even if the text is written : No preview available. ]
-------------------

anyway this is an experimental search, i dont know if i will keep on or stop,and as you see the code is not so much 'ready' for use for realeasing it to people.[and if i will do is with the knowing that this is just experimental work, not 100% ready for use]
----------
it would be more clever if microsoft would give to us, for any part of explorer a shortcut for any, so not any search or changing code would needed, via shortcuts we could appear dissapear any part of explorer we would like.
