This mod fixes UWP apps getting stuck at the splash screen when using the Classic theme. No more need to run ApplicationFrameHost before enabling Classic! This works by hardcoding the splash fade animation values instead of fetching them from msstyles. Note: do not apply this to Explorer, as doing so will cause Explorer to crash repeatedly. I'm not sure if there's a UWP app hosted by Explorer that gets broken with the Classic theme. Also the native frames from the screenshot is not a part of this mod; use this mod for that.

Oh my god. Thank you so much.
Edit: Testing some UWP apps, the frame mod also works as it should. Wonderful. Windhawk is amazing.

Not that good on Win11, there are gaps and the icon and buttons are blurry. Also, the default icon is better either removed or fixed to coincide with the taskbar icon. |

if we use this mod we don't have to start ApplicationFrameHost.exe at startup anymore right? |

Is this also fixable? When trying to sign in to UWP apps with classic theme enabled, it will be interrupted.

The reason why it was crashing Explorer was because it uses the same function for fetching a different animation on startup (which also breaks on Classic but doesn't seem to cause visual breakages). Will upload to the repo if no issues are found.

I think, on Win11 Explorer has nothing to do with UWP. Maybe is is better to make a separate mod for Win10 Explorer so not to inject Explorer in Win11? Especially, if these two fixes do not share the code. |

This mod works without problems on Win11. Additionally, the same sign-in window can also be hosted by ShellAppRuntime.exe or CustomShellHost.exe (if you kill Explorer and run ShellAppRuntime instead, or for the latter if you use the assigned access/kiosk mode), so I added these as well. Don't worry, those two processes don't run at all normally.

Is it possible to use ShellAppRuntime.exe or CustomShellHost.exe in Windows 10, to allow UWP applications to run without Explorer ? |

ShellAppRuntime is perfect for that purpose, but it only exists on Windows 11. (It also registers itself as a shell so some alternative shells may not start.) CustomShellHost is pretty similar, but it requires a user account with assigned access enabled (which is a kiosk mode.) It does run on other sessions with runas, etc. but I'm not sure about the consequences of doing that.

Confirmed working. Thank you. And no specific issues were found. I think it's okay to submit to the repository.
