Restores Drag & Drop image from Win 95 or Win XP in Classic theme
Get Windhawk to install this mod

This is a maximally stripped down version of the mod "Classic Explorer Drag/Drop" by Isabella Lulamoon (@kawapure). It is intended for restoring the Drag & Drop image of the items being dragged the way it was in Win 95 - Win XP.

The differences with the original mod are as follows:

  • This mod does not download the debug symbols

  • This mod hooks only a WinAPI function, thus architecture-independent (can work on ARM, for instance)

  • From the user's perspective this mod enables effect of dragged items in cases where the original mod suppresses. So, expect visibility of the dragged items in more use cases.
