After

The item scales as a percentage from a pre-computed base value not exposed by EP.

(The registry hack at HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\MinWidth doesn't work with ExplorerPatcher.)

Requirements: Windows 11 with ExplorerPatcher, using the Windows 10 taskbar.

File Explorer Details Auto-Fit Columns 1.0.0

File Explorer Details Auto-Fit Columns

Automatically fits all visible column widths to their content whenever a folder is opened or refreshed in Details view, eliminating truncated text and ellipsis (...).

File Explorer Details Auto-Fit Columns

Triggers

• Opening or navigating to a folder
• Minimizing and restoring the Explorer window
• Ctrl + R
• F5
• Right-click context menu → Refresh
• The refresh button in the toolbar

Only affects Details view. Other view modes (Icons, Tiles, List, etc.) are untouched.

Settings

Refresh Delay (ms): How long the mod waits before auto-fitting columns. The default is 400ms, which gives Explorer enough time to finish loading files before measuring content width. If you notice columns fitting too early in large folders, increase this value. If you want a snappier response in small folders, decrease it.

UWP Assets Redirect 1.0

UWP Assets Redirect

Replace UWP app assets (such as icons) without worrying about updates or modifying system files permissions.

Example: Before and After

Before and after comparison of some applications

Icon themes

You can apply Icon themes directly from the Settings tab by selecting one from the list. The theme will be automatically downloaded and applied. You can see the full list of themes and their previews in the theme repository.

To contribute a new theme to the theme repository, follow the instructions here.

Finding the Application bundle and assets

You can quickly identify both the application bundle and its Assets folder using Task Manager.

1. Open the application you want to redirect assets for. Then open Task Manager, right-click the application process, and select "Open file location":

   Task Manager right-click context menu on "Microsoft Store" with "Open file location" hovered

2. A File Explorer window will open with the application's folder highlighted:

   Application folder highlighted in File Explorer with the bundle identifier shown

3. The application bundle is the part of the folder name that comes before the first underscore, in this case "Microsoft.WindowsStore".

If Assets Redirect can't automatically locate the Assets folder, you can browse the application directory to manually find it. In this example, although it was detected automatically, the assets were located in "Assets\AppTiles":

The path to the assets folder

You can specify them in the application bundle using this format: "<application bundle>|<assets folder>", and in this case "Microsoft.WindowsStore|Assets\AppTiles".

Creating custom assets

You can manually create replacement assets by copying the original Assets folder, removing any files you don't want to replace, and editing the remaining ones making sure to preserve the original file resolutions.

A quicker and easier approach is to use something like TileGen, an open-source tool that generates the required assets from a single image or an .ico file. Using an .ico file is recommended, as it already contains multiple resolutions.

Keep in mind that even if File Explorer doesn't show the non-redirected assets after you've applied them, they're still present. This is only a visual issue caused by how File Explorer loads folder contents.

Theme paths

Theme paths can be set in the settings. Each theme path can be a folder with custom assets files and a theme.ini file that contains redirection rules, or the .ini theme file itself.

For example, the theme.ini file may contain the following redirection rules:

WindowsApps and SystemApps redirections

For apps found in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" and in "C:\Windows\SystemApps", you can use respectively the [windows-apps] and [system-apps] headers.

Each rule should be provided in this format: "<application bundle>=<redirection folder>". The application bundle can be easily found by following the guide above.

Example config

[windows-apps]
Microsoft.WindowsStore=.\Microsoft Store
Microsoft.WindowsCalculator=.\Calculator

Most of the time, Assets Redirect can automatically locate the bundle's Assets folder. However, some applications use the same application bundle as other apps, which can prevent Assets Redirect from identifying the correct folder. In these cases, you can manually specify the Assets folder within the application bundle using the following format: "<application bundle>|<assets folder>" (an example is shown below in [system-apps]).

Example config

[system-apps]
MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS|WindowsBackup\Assets=.\Windows Backup
Microsoft.PPIProjection=.\Wireless Display

Custom redirections

For apps that aren't found in common folders like WindowsApps or SystemApps, like Settings, you can use the [custom] header.

Each rule should be provided in this format: "<assets folder>=<redirection folder>".

Example config

[custom]
%SystemRoot%\ImmersiveControlPanel\images=.\Settings

Injecting into other processes

By default, Assets Redirect only targets the processes that most commonly use these assets, such as File Explorer and the Start Menu. As a result, UWP applications are not affected by asset redirection out of the box.

You can change this behavior using the "Custom process inclusion list" in the Advanced tab and doing one of the following:

• Include a specific application's executable name or path like "WinStore.App.exe" (you can find this in the Details tab of Task Manager).
• Include the entire applications directories: "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\*" and "C:\Windows\SystemApps\*".
• Or, if you're willing to risk system stability, include all processes using "*".

Doing this applies your asset changes not only to the Windows shell, but also to the applications themselves, changing their look as well (like the splash screen).

Ctrl+Backspace Fix for Win32 Text Boxes 1.0

Ctrl+Backspace Fix for Win32 Text Boxes

Win32 text boxes often lack previous-word deletion functionality, resulting in the Ctrl+Backspace hotkey inserting the Delete control character instead of deleting the previous word.

This mod resolves this behavior by adding previous-word deletion functionality to those Edit controls.

It also supports wrapped Edit controls used in .NET WinForms and Delphi VCL applications.

Before

After

Notes

• In hotkey text boxes, pressing Ctrl+Backspace deletes the text instead of assigning the hotkey.
• In masked text boxes, pressing Ctrl+Backspace deletes the placeholder characters, breaking the input mask and preventing further input into those missing slots.
• Custom-drawn text boxes, such as those in Qt applications, are unaffected because they do not utilize standard Win32 Edit controls. Most custom-drawn UI frameworks already handle their own previous-word deletion functionality.

Windows 11 Notification Center Styler 1.5

• Added themes: LiquidGlass, BetterControl11, LayerMicaUI, Borderless.
• Updated themes: WindowGlass, Fluid.
• Added style variables that allow to observe a control's property value and use it in other controls or styles. Refer to the mod description for details.
• Added a way to match any number of intermediate parent controls, for example: ParentClass > * > Class#Name.
• Added a way to match root controls, for example: :root > Class#Name.
• Added the following properties to WindhawkBlur: TintLuminosityOpacity, TintSaturation, NoiseOpacity, NoiseDensity, and FallbackColor. The implementation was contributed by Jhen. For details, refer to the styling guide.
• Improved ThemeResource handling for WindhawkBlur.
• Improved property matching which now works for more properties.
• Added XAML syntax support for resource variables.
• Improved resource variable handling and theme resource refresh logic.
