Description Windows Vista: Navigation Pane Usability Mod + Hidden Help Button

A small variation of my original Navigation Pane Usability Mod [here]
with hidden but functional help button on the folderband.

Simply hover over the original folderband help area, and the button will appear.
You might never use the help button, but it's (quietly) there if you need it!


Notes:
- Help button hidden in normal view, but retains all
  functionality, proportion, and states.
- No "unrolling" animation side effect that can happen
  when editing folderband properties.
- Instructions to add this modification to personal
  custom theme shellstyle included in ReadMe.

Enjoy!

do you think you can change how big the icons in the Navigation pane are? and remove the text? would be very nice... to clean things more up

This is really nice, but is there anyway you can make a version that also hides the folder band (i.e. the blue band at the top with "Organize","View","Explore"

i really like what you have done with the folders menu, but i use themes with the folder band hidden and they look real nasty when i use this.

DO you think that is possible?

thanks for help

Thanks.

Well, yeah, this one here isn't going to look quite right considering it wasn't made for use with a hidden folderband. But, I made one for a friend who requested it a while back. Maybe I'll add another "cousin" deviation to assist in this area. Cheers.

thankyou so much, i really love your mod, but i really think that band needs to go. it looks much cleaner and any options that are hidden are available by pressing "Alt"

hidden out the way, and used when i need!!

i really hope you do post something soon, im itching to have your nav pane mod!!!

thanks alot
