I wanted to try something new for a while and started my 30-day Trial of curtains, I only want it to theme my window borders so I disabled Taskbar skinning in the options. To skin the taskbar I use the third-party program StartIsBack++, now I know this is third-party software and Stardock has its own taskbar skinning program with Start10, however I paid for StartIsBack++ before and I want to make use of it still.

The issue is, if Curtains and SiB++ are enabled at the same time when logging in despite taskbar theming being disabled in Curtains, Curtains overrides the theming of SiB++ and forces the default Windows 10 Taskbar style to load.

This can be remedied by restarting explorer.exe after logging in, then SiB++ properly themes the taskbar with its settings and Curtains finally ignores it.

Could this be fixed in a further update maybe in terms of a setting that can be applied that prohibits Curtains to hook into the taskbar whatsoever? If this is possible I'll definitely see me purchasing Curtains before my trial ends.

I verified this is related to Curtains as disabling Curtains fixes the problem.

Thanks for help in advance!
