Not for production use.**\n\nExplorerFrame is a program that resolves some improper behaviors caused by File Explorer regarding extending DWM frames into its client area.\n\n![A File Explorer window with DWM frames extended into its client area using ExplorerFrame](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29563098/201467236-9b888ef0-b21b-42a3-b858-1f1c36553765.png)\n\n## Limitations\n- ExplorerFrame only works in Dark mode. Light mode will cause the text to render improperly.\n- ExplorerFrame doesn't resolve the gray backgrounds of some UI elements (like scrollbars).\n\n## How does it work?\nIt works by hooking into Explorer and detouring Windows' `DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea` with a custom implementation that ignores calls from File Explorer.\n\n## Are the changes reversible?\nYes. The changes only persist in memory, meaning that if you close ExplorerFrame and restarts Explorer, all changes are undone.\n\n## Licensing\nExplorerFrame is released under the terms of the [GNU General Public License, version 3](LICENSE.txt). You can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.\n\n## Acknowledgements\n[TranslucentTB](https://github.com/TranslucentTB/TranslucentTB) has served as inspiration for me to start work on this project. Many parts of TranslucentTB has also been adopted for this program. Special thanks to TranslucentTB's maintainers and contributors!\n\nMicrosoft's [Detours](https://github.com/microsoft/Detours) is used for `DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea` detouring. Go check it out.\n\nAnd last but not least, the users of [Mica For Everyone](https://github.com/MicaForEveryone/MicaForEveryone)! It really is astounding to see how much traction it has gained over the years.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmicaforeveryone%2Fexplorerframe","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmicaforeveryone%2Fexplorerframe","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmicaforeveryone%2Fexplorerframe/lists"}
