Adding boxes around taskbar items

[kittenShark42]

Pretty new here (and a bit lost)! Windows 11 with Open Shell and Explorer Patcher installed; works pretty well but I am trying to get the "boxes" around the taskbar items; the old way like this:

I tried retrobar, but due to my display the text looked blurry no matter what I trid but I also didn't like I couldn't change the start icon - SCT did not run well at all, and taskbow had similar issues.

I quite enjoy Explorer Patcher though, but is there any simple way that I can add those boxes?

Thanks!

The current version of ExplorerPatcher doesn't have a built-in option for adding boxes around taskbar items like the classic Windows appearance, your best bets are to try using other third-party tools to achieve this.

(P.S. If you're well-equipped on implementing such functionality, please consider making a pull request!)

Thanks,
Yakov
