[Fixed in 1.9.17] Taskbar context menu titles are broken on Windows 11 Dev 26120.1252

[CatPieLeaf]

Fixed in Canary version 1.9.17.

Update your Nilesoft shell to get this fixed.

Some text is missing on nilesoft shell taskbar context menu in Windows 11 24H2 Insider (Dev channel) 26120.1252

Updated temporary workaround:

Thanks to RubicBG

(change your taskbar.nss to this)

menu(type="taskbar" vis=key.shift() or key.lbutton() pos=0 title=app.name image=\uE249)
{
	item(title="config" image=\uE10A cmd='"@app.cfg"')
	item(title="manager" image=\uE0F3 admin cmd='"@app.exe"')
	item(title="directory" image=\uE0E8 cmd='"@app.dir"')
	item(title="version\t"[email protected] vis=label col=1)
	item(title="docs" image=\uE1C4 cmd='https://nilesoft.org/docs')
	item(title="donate" image=\uE1A7 cmd='https://nilesoft.org/donate')
}
menu(where=@(this.count == 0) type='taskbar' image=icon.settings expanded=true)
{
	menu(title="Apps" image=\uE254)
	{
		item(title='Paint' image=\uE116 cmd='mspaint')
		item(title='Edge' image cmd='@sys.prog32\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe')
		item(title='Calculator' image=\ue1e7 cmd='calc.exe')
		item(title=str.res('regedit.exe,-16') image cmd='regedit.exe')
	}
	menu(title='Windows' image=\uE1FB)
	{
		item(title='Cascade' cmd=command.cascade_windows)
		item(title=str.res('C:\Windows\explorer.exe', -538) cmd=command.Show_windows_stacked)
		item(title=str.res('C:\Windows\explorer.exe', -536) cmd=command.Show_windows_side_by_side)
		sep
		item(title=str.res('C:\Windows\explorer.exe', -537) cmd=command.minimize_all_windows)
		item(title='Restore all windows' cmd=command.restore_all_windows)
	}
	item(title=title.desktop image=icon.desktop cmd=command.toggle_desktop)
	item(title=title.settings image=icon.settings(auto, image.color1) cmd='ms-settings:')
	item(title=str.res('C:\Windows\explorer.exe', -22001) sep=both image=icon.task_manager cmd='taskmgr.exe')
	item(title='Taskbar settings' sep=both image=inherit cmd='ms-settings:taskbar')
	item(vis=key.shift() title='Exit Explorer' cmd=command.restart_explorer)
}

Nilesoft shell is just failing to get the text for the entries. these settings just apply the text to the entries manually.

Can confirm on 26100.1297.

[CatsArmy]

Can confirm as well I suspect it could be that window changed the internal name of those names

[CHminggao]

same on 26100.1301

[RubicBG]

can someone upload "C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll" and "C:\Windows\explorer.exe"

[CatPieLeaf]

can someone upload "C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll" and "C:\Windows\explorer.exe"

From Windows dev build 26120.1330

shell32+explorer.zip

[RubicBG]

and this one pls "C:\Windows\en-US\explorer.exe.mui"

[ararezaee]

explorer files.zip

and this one pls "C:\Windows\en-US\explorer.exe.mui"

There you go both files from 26100.1301 which has the same issue

[RubicBG]

all 71 ids responsible for Windows 10 and 11 taskbar context menu names have been removed.
even though the names don't come out, do the commands all execute?

item(title=str.res('C:\Windows\explorer.exe', -536))
item(title=str.res('C:\Windows\explorer.exe', -537))
item(title=str.res('C:\Windows\explorer.exe', -538))
item(title=str.res('C:\Windows\explorer.exe', -22001))

Only those names can be retrieved under those ids. Regardless of whether there is a name/text match these are not the names of the commands ("Show windows side by side" not the same as "Show windows s&ide by side")

[CatPieLeaf]

These did work, i'll update the temporary workaround.

[CatsArmy]

Yeah they work just no name really weird choice form Microsoft with all the talk about backwards compatibility

[moudey]
