Substitute for File Explorer other then Total Comander or Explorer++

That was one of my first reactions to Win 10- years ago. It always helps to specify your question so as to get the best answer.

I looked for a way to fix it. It's not hard:


And no, I don't use a 3rd party theme or Windowblinds, for example.

You can start with this from the huge searchable Tutorials section:
Install Aerolite Theme in Windows 10

Then this free tool (with full explanation) can be used to adjust that:


- note it refers to the aerolite theme, provided with Win 10.

I agree with everything dalchina has posted.

I agree with everything that is in the two relevant tutorials
Change Accent Color - TenForumsTutorials
Install Aerolite Theme - TenforumsTutorials

So can I point out that to achieve

A border around the window like Explorer had for 25 years so one could see where the windows edges are when it is over a white background (Browser with a blank page open for example..

requires no more than

- Settings, Personalisation, Colours - choosing anything in Windows colours

and

- selecting the checkbox Titlebars & windows borders.

That simple setting achieves what you want and what I illustrated in my previous post.

My illustration was from a computer that uses the default theme, albeit with an Accent colour set as shown.

I have never used Open shell but see no reason why it would affect this setting.

Just use it, try it. Easily reversed.

I'm looking (in vain) for a close substitute for their File Explorer. But, NOT another dual pane explorer program, but one that will activate when I click on a drive or folder shortcut and open up like regular Explorer did.
Is there anything out there as I've been thru three different 'best of' sites and nothing turned up that I could make out. Something that would have to be installed vs a Portable application since it would have to react with the O/S if it is even possible.
