Use Segoe Fluent Icons font for modern settings icons on Win11

It seems that Windows 11 prefers `Segoe Fluent Icons` over `Segoe MDL2 Assets` font. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/style/segoe-fluent-icons-font Most of settings defined in `AllSystemSettings_{253E530E-387D-4BC2-959D-E6F86122E5F2}.xml` now refer to the new font.

ge0rdi	0465ac9c1b	Use `Segoe Fluent Icons` font for modern settings icons on Win11 It seems that Windows 11 prefers `Segoe Fluent Icons` over `Segoe MDL2 Assets` font. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/style/segoe-fluent-icons-font Most of settings defined in `AllSystemSettings_{253E530E-387D-4BC2-959D-E6F86122E5F2}.xml` now refer to the new font.	2022-12-06 19:17:18 +01:00
ge0rdi	77d2d3a01d	Don't show `Windows Shell Experience Host` in list of frequent programs It is not a program that user will use explicitly. No need to show it in the list even if Windows tracks it as frequent program for some reason. Fixes #1164	2022-12-06 19:17:18 +01:00
ge0rdi	704459225b	Properly handle automatically hiding taskbar on multi-monitor setup When taskbar is hidden its window is moved off the screen (except for few pixels at border). It may happen that the taskbar window actually spans to another monitor (though still not visible). MonitorFromWindow API may thus return different monitor handle than the one visible taskbar is on. We will use GetTaskbarPosition function that correctly identifies taskbar's monitor by checking rectangle of visible taskbar. Fixes #908	2022-12-06 19:17:18 +01:00
ge0rdi	04770c403d	Windows 11 start menu button support - handling of `Taskbar alignment` setting (left/center) - start menu position is based on position of start button - mouse clicks to original button now work properly (without triggering original menu) - custom button is properly positioned - Win+X works properly	2022-12-06 19:17:18 +01:00
ge0rdi	f42980e090	Make debugging more skin friendly Debug StartMenuDLL used to not find skins when put to Open-Shell installation folder. Now it will try to look for skins in default location (Skins folder in the same folder as DLL) and use alternative (Skins folder one level up) if not present.	2022-12-06 19:17:18 +01:00
ge0rdi	7ad33f509e	Fix skin options default values Multi-string settings have to be terminated by new line. Otherwise there may be some garbage (following the string) stored in registry.	2022-12-06 19:17:18 +01:00
ge0rdi	1b013c3590	Don't track usage of Open-Shell modern settings folder This way `Open-Shell Modern Settings` folder won't appear in File Explorer's frequent list. Fixes #744.	2022-12-06 19:17:18 +01:00
ge0rdi	cef27bdfa0	Use more convenient format for color settings We are storing color settings in BBGGRR format (for historical reasons). This may be confusing for people that are used to (more widely used) RRGGBB format. Thus we will present color settings in RRGGBB format when editing. We will still use BBGGRR format for those settings internally. To maintain backward compatibility with existing settings stored in registry/xml. Also setting descriptions now contain hint about expected color format. This way it should be more clear what values `Open-Shell` expects. Fixes #82, #1141.	2022-12-06 19:17:18 +01:00
