Is it possible to change the " Up One Level" (in Windows 10 File Explorer, next to the Back/Forward buttons) 16x16 image to a 32x32 one?

Thank you.

Hello Ivo, I've been using CS File Conflict Dialog. Most of the times the icons are missing in that dialog. Using Windows original dialog, *the icons always show*. In many cases this is quite annoying. :) (We've discussed the issue before). Would it be possible to add an option to CS to check "...

Hello,

I'd like to use the blue "Up One Level" icon (Win 7) in another app (*my private use only*).
Is it available anywhere on the forum? If not, how can I extract it in 32x32 px?

Thank you. I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks for replying. I appreciate it.

Allow me a short off-topic question:
Is there a shortcut to move the focus to the files/folders pane?
Ctrl+Tab does that if the Favorites pane has the focus; but if the search-box has the focus, you need to press Ctrl+Tab twice.

Best regards.

I've installed the hotfix and now if the folder link is highlighted, the selected file is shaded.

Still, I'd appreciate an option to disable the toolbar buttons if the focus is on the Favorites side bar.

v4.0.2.
Win 7 Classic Look theme.
CS -> Start Menu Style -> Classic.
CS -> Skin -> Classic.

When hovering over a menu (e.g. Settings), it does NOT open and display its items.
The only workaround I've found is pressing the Search Box and then pressing a menu.
