i think all can be possible with editing ExplorerFrame.dll.mun UIFILE (size rp , width rp , height rp)
I recommend any changes to this file for experienced users only
because only the one bad command and this can be broken your File Explorer (Explorer.exe)
for easy use you can put all of the new commands to the OldNewExplorer.dll file .etc

OldNewExplorer can override UIFILES from most files loaded by explorer.exe.
To take advantage of this, add UIFILES to your ShellStyle.dll named the following way:
Example:
SHELL32.DLL UIFILE 23 -> SHELLSTYLE.DLL SHELL32_UIFILE 23
EXPLORERFRAME.DLL UIFILE 20482 -> SHELLSTYLE.DLL EXPLORERFRAME_UIFILE 20482

Note that OldNewExplorer can load other types of resources loaded by DirectUI, for example TWINUI.DLL TILETEMPLATE
Overriding all resources may require explorer.exe restart.

Note that OldNewExplorer's style, details, statusbar settings override shellstyle resources.

WARNING: custom resource types are not loaded from ShellStyle.dll if it has MUI resource pair.
Merge it with mui file and remove MUI resource.

Moonique, Would you provide more details about hex address and value to edit in those hex files? It could save time for who willing to edit but not so sure about hex value. Thanks for suggestion anyway, have a nice day there.

OK Mate, so if you want to stream line your address and search bars here's the method I use.
First Step: Go to WSB and export the address bar normal or hot image from dark mode to a folder that you can access, now the Image needs to be around 2 or 3 pixels narrower top and bottom, bearing mind your text size.

89315
Second step: Open your folder with the Image in it you just extracted, now right click on it and open with Paint 3D or your alternative Image editor here you can see its 23 pxls heigh
89316
Third step: you now want to resize it to 17pxls height this will take 3 pixels off the top and bottom of the address bar
89317
Step four: Now you have to resize the canvas back to 23pxls height and make sure the canvas is transparent if its not already. Now you can save it.
89318
Step Five: go back to WSB and Import the Image into the Address bar in the Normal, Hot, Unknown and Selected parts and save it, now you have made a Complete resized Default Image
89319
Step Six: Now Export this Image to a folder so now you can Import it to the 3 Search Box sections for Dark Mode showing in the tree save it when your done for Dark Mode.
89320
Step seven: Now in light Mode the address bar is in the Basic settings Import the new Image here
89321
Step Eight: now Import the new Image here for Light Mode search bars save it and then reload the test to see the results and now you are done.
89322
OK now if its to small do it again and try making it 19 pxls heigh instead of 17 pxls heigh, The Address and search bars will use the same sized Image, you need to do this with a Customized address bar and if it is different size to the origonals just replace the Image instead of resizing it. OK guys here you go I hope it helps you to resize the Address and Search Bars as I said this is how I do it if you have any probs just let me know.
:Peace:Let me know how you go Mate.

I feel like you should manually extract ExplorerFrame.dll.mun from Windows 10 version 1607 ISO and compare UIFILE 20482 and UIFILE 40960 hexadecimal values with current ExplorerFrame.dll.mun data.

I posted earlier and tried myself replacing ExplorerFrame.dll.mun UIFILE data of 21H1 with 1607 (UIFILE of 1607 can be found in C:\Windows\System32\ExplorerFrame.dll). It didn't work. It didn't affect address bar in any way. So I assume weir named user was wrong about address bar UI connection with UIFILE_20482 and UIFILE_40960. Adter replacing values only "file explorer" view changed (the part of window where you actually select files, folders, move them, etc.).
