Not much in it, an odd fix just to say it's working well with no probs. We waited a while for a new version, now like buses they come one after the other :)

Disagree. The key above Tab is a important fix, as my keyboard layout can't do Alt + `.

Seems to work in mine ok unless I am looking at it wrong, anyway @hdmi not a thing I use much

That's just because QWERTY UK (and QWERTY US) can do ` simply by pressing the key above Tab. Whereas on AZERTY BE it is typed by pressing Alt Gr + µ, followed by an additional keypress that, in this specific case, would be the spacebar. Alt Gr is essentially the same as Ctrl + Alt except it doesn't work for Ctrl + Alt + Del, albeit that's not a problem actually. But anyway, the ability to use the Window Switcher from Windows 10 to switch between just the siblings of the active window can be a real timesaver IMO (and excellent for your blood pressure─also IMO) especially if you have a lot of windows open.

@hdmi I understand now, I didn't even think you may be using an AZERTY

I like a new option to choose a look of language switcher, for me Windows 10 style has much better design than the default. Of course, only people who use more than one keyboard language can truly understand this :)
Using this tool I already restored many other UI panels opened by Taskbar icons like traditional clock, volume and network.

I can use both AZERTY and QWERTY. In fact I started with QWERTY as a young kid in 1985, but I moved to AZERTY as an adolescent because it is the official standard in Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of my country─whereas The Netherlands uses QWERTY.

@hdmi Thanks for the info, that was very interesting to learn

It would be nice to have the onscreen (virtual) keyboard in a different language than the physical keyboard.
I am using GreekLetters with Autohotkey to type Greek letters like alpha, beta, ... omega, etc.
But it is difficult to remember the positions on the keyboard of (rare) letters like "chi" (also prounced "khi"), "phi" and "psi".
My last knowledge as to whether this would be possibe one day, dates from the WIN 7 time, and the answer was a clear NJET: "not possible".

My question is why ? If you can switch language between keyboards, why can't you have the onscreen keyboard in a different language. The advantage would be to SEE the letters you type (and not typing blindly) !

@RogerOver Don't forget ExplorerPatcher isn't really designed to be too involved in changing things, although it has become way mor advanced since the early days, It is not a company just a guy doing a great job

Has anyone checked if the new Windows Cumulative Update 22000.318 works with ExplorerPatcher 22000.282.33.0 yet?

RogerOver · Nov 10, 2021

No problem here. Explorerpatcher needed to download the icons again and I had to re-set the old icons/clcok/notification area, but that was all !

hdmi · Nov 10, 2021

It works.

I can't really understand why using the f key for "Phi" is hard to remember for you, though. I mean, all you basically have to do is think of Philadelphia.

I have done it now, didn't realise the new version of ExplorerPatcher was ready. My settings and things stayed the same, they always do

The-Hive · Nov 10, 2021

BTW @RogerOver I always get the new version of ExplorerPatcher before I install the update via WU

This time around, I had to add my toolbars back, and, I also had to re-enable my tray icons and clock.
