Dark skins are coming...
figured the black text problem
A suggestion under settings, "Use the task bar and Start menu from style:" have a choice of either, "Start11" or "Default theme" don't know if it's possible but if you can choose different styles from other themes it seems that you could be able to choose either the default theme or Start 11 theme.
I see that you keep asking for this...
Can I ask why you would want this, aren't you essentially removing 75% of the purpose of this program if that was an option?

Because I prefer the way Start11 makes the taskbar and menu. Unfortunately I don't know enough about skinning to remove the way a skin changes the task bar. Since you can choose different styles from other themes it seems that you could be able to choose either the default theme or Start 11. To be honest I had forgotten where the setting, "use the taskbar and start menu from styles" was. When I found it again I decided to repost. Don't mean to bug you guys either I just think it would be a decent option if it's at all possible.
Hi JCurie,
You are not bugging us at all
I just wanted to get more of an understanding as to why you would not want to use some of the main purposes of WindowBlinds, in my opinion. Would you say that it's more of an issue of skin style and if there was a more basic-looking skin it would fit your wants better?

Perhaps, I need a big learning curve when comes to skinning, time will tell. Love glass look and feel. Especially Windows 7 Style but I prefer start 11s taskbar options look and feel. I believe it would be a useful option especially if the choice of "Start11" Thanks for listening.
Problem solved
so how do I upload it? Also Cribbage deluxe from the Microsoft store if minimized to the taskbar then click to maximize causes it to crash this has been happening since beta 1
Come back here to the forum and insert the link to the video from the toolbar:
I fixed it
Noticed a bug when you maximize file explorer to full screen using the key f11. The address bar section turns completely black and does not seem to pull its image from Windowblinds.
Light icons on light Background. To solve set icons with black or dark color. Use Skinstudio and refer screenshot to where to change it.
Thank you,

I see it too on my Win11 system. I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.
Thanks
Wish we were able to customize the font/icon colors with windowblinds of start11 win10/11 styles. Being hardcoded to light/dark mode really limits what we can do with the background images..
I have no problem with Cribbage Deluxe. Pressing F11 with Explorer crashes the instance forcing the window to close! This is with "Dragon" skin.
All,
Just a heads up that Start11 1.36 was released today:

This is normal if you have disabled the ribbon in explorer.
I hope the powers that be remember mIRC won't keep the window positions.
I'm kind of confused on this. I already have the OS in dark mode. Can someone break this down for me, so I can understand.
Why would I need WB11 to put the OS in dark mode when it's always in dark mode?
The option is what WB does with the OS mode. WB will set the OS into the light/dark mode automatically by default based on what the skin is set to request. If the skin does not then by default it would set the OS into light mode as thats the mode the skin would have been designed for.
The other options are overrides for you to say, no ignore the skin, I want it to always be light or dark mode.
Search box issue
This should look like...
This
Happens when I try to search for something. Maybe a fault in my skin or or a wb11 issue? I played with the painting option, no joy there. the crumbs box works ok
