98lite Questions
I just installed 98lite 4.5 on my ThinkPad T22 (Windows 98 SE, though I considered 95 and Me) and I noticed that when I installed the Windows 95 Explorer file, I found a few odd things that I was wondering if you could explain them and how to reverse them.
1.) The gradient title bars are gone! How do I get them back?
2.) The effect for the start menu scrolling up or down as it opens or closes is gone. Can I re enable this?
3.) I am back to the old Windows 95 icons. Can I add the Windows 98 icons back using the Explorer.exe and Shell32.dll from that release?
One thing I'm okay with but found curious is that when I open IE5 with the 98 shell enabled it just opens it, but with the 95 shell, it shows the "Microsoft Internet Explorer 5" splash screen, which I also saw on a Win95 VM running IE5.

BTW, the animations for maximizing and minimizing windows are gone too. Windows is much more responsive and feels faster, but unfortunately many aesthetic features have been disabled.
UPDATE: I figured out my problems. Please close this thread.
@PhantomONC What was the solution? Posting it might help anyone else having this issue in the future.
