Advanced mitigations for classic theme - feature request: optionally disable client edge

[NoNameNeeded5]

Hi!
I just wanted to suggest a change of an existing feature, the advanced mitigations for classic theme.
While it works great in general, a new issue has sprung up due to the (relatively new) fake web view pane.

What it does is that it changes Explorer's detail view to something that resembles the old web view from former versions of Windows.
Luckily, it already comes with client edge so now you have two client edges. One at the edge and the other one (from Explorer patcher) frames the files section of the Explorer window, but it doesn't look that great.

So it would be nice if we had an option to separately set if client edge should be created or not, maybe just as a little dropdown menu that lets you choose between mitigations with or without client edge.

Please suggest this change for windhawk as well for it's mods that are for classic theme.

There are actually Windhawk mods that replicacte Explorer Patcher's mitigations and that also allow to disable client edge.
However, they're causing problems with the 32bit version of explorer.exe (also on 64Bit Windows), something that doesn't happen with Explorer Patcher, so that's why I suggested it here.

EP doesn't support the 32-bit versions of windows.

I understand that but this issue isn't about the 32bit version of Windows.

Maybe forget about what I wrote about the windhawk mods, it has nothing to do with my suggestion above.

Ok, then if the windhawk mod isn't fully working, you should file an issue on the windhawk github page with what you observed is happening. Then they can look into fixing it.

But this is the Explorer Patcher github page, right?

I just made a suggestion to improve Explorer Patcher a bit, why would I want to file an issue at the windhawk github page?
My suggestion for this small Explorer Patcher change has nothing to do with Windhawk or its mods.

The screenshot above shows how Explorer Patcher's advanced mitigations look like when you use "fake Web view".
And if it were possible to turn client edge on or off separately (which is part of Explorer Patcher's advanced mitigations for classic theme), this problem would be fixed, hence my suggestion.

[pyrates999]

As I said, it is better that you also file an issue to try to get it fixed in the windhawk mods page. Then you increase the odds of it getting fixed.

There is issues with the feature advanced mitigations for classic theme enabled right now, that is shown here: #3457

I know these problems, but it's a different topic. It's about the new EP Win10 taskbar which also isn't compatible with the classic theme but as i said, it's a different topic.
