I am running Windows 11 Version 10.0.22623 Build 22623 with WindowsBlinds version 11.00 (011 x64)
Windows Blinds 11 is working normally otherwise, but it doesn't apply the skin to the Windows taskbar. The 'Start button' changes, but the rest do not. I am not running any other modification software with Windows Blinds 11. Any fix for this? Here I'm using a Windows 7 skin, but this happens for every skin I have tried.
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, are you on insider preview version of Windows 11?
ThanksBasj,Stardock Community Assistant.
Hello, I am on beta build actually. I understand it may not work correctly in that case.
Stardock does not support its product on Beta/Insider preview build. However, we appreciate your input from it.
Thank you,

Just a bit late with a minor point as I've only now moved to Windows 11 Pro. Windows Blinds 11 is working normally, and I have the icon show in the systems icons on the right. After a restart, the WB11 "system icon" becomes hidden and I have to go back into taskbar settings and flip the button to "on" to have it show. Minor point I know, but seems Win11 doesn't want to show the WB11 system icon.
Any suggestions on how to keep Win11 from making the tray icon disappear?
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please create a new thread for your issue and we will help you from there.
Question. Why WB10 works correct on 19043/19044 RTM, RP, Beta Channel but WB11 works only on RTM and RP Channel ? aka 22000 and 22621.
Simple, Windows 10 is a stable target, Windows 11 is very much not.
titlebar not getting skinned with this app
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Do know that some application don't work properly with Windowblinds. Usually, from what I know, it is because they introduce their own titlebar rather than using Windows Standard titlebar.
It shows part of the titlebar skinned on each end if you zoom in you will see.
Yes that happen to some of the Universal Application too. What you can do is to tell Windowblinds to ignore these application.
i am currently having this issue. i am on windows 11
The taskbar is not skinning.
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. From what I experience, since Windows 11 recent updates, but, I am not sure which update it was, I need Stardock's Start11 installed to have Taskbar be skin by Windowblinds. Might be due to Windows keep changing its taskbar UI.
So instead of Windowblinds being updated to fix the issue, I now have to install a different program to get windowblinds to do what it is supposed to do? Do I have to pay for that program as well?
Hello,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.

I was just curious why it does that sometimes?
Best to create your own thread on this one and include all details required. https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1387134987/Contacting+Stardock+About+WindowBlinds+Issues
Windowblinds only works at it best, with the full effect, if Start 11 is used besides it, similar with Themes, as themes also needs Both StartAllBack and UltraThemePatcher, so depending what side of the Desktop Customization you like best (Windowblinds or Themes) you will need two programs working together to give the best Results. Windowblinds and Start 11 are the easiest to use, the competitor needs a bit of a skillset.
I e been using Windowblinds for years and never needed another product for it to work properly. It even worked when Windows 11 first rolled out. Now for some reason it won’t skin the task bar anymore. I shouldn’t have to purchase another product just to get back the functionality I’ve had for years.
You should not need anything else to skin the taskbar. Obviously to skin the startmenu needs Start11 but not for the taskbar.
We will investigate what is going on and if something has stopped working then we need to address it.
It is important you have the latest WindowBlinds installed though.
Check my post from October 25th. Reply #12. It shows my version of Windowblinds (tech info) and a pic of the task bar.
still not working correct on windows 11 NOT insider just pro
I am sure you did not miss the comment by Neil on that other thread, where he mentioned that he need to investigate into the issue. https://forums.stardock.com/515928/get;3910838. Do know that it was working before. But, I believe, Windows has change something on its taskbar causing it no longer work if you don't have Start11 installed. If you not wish to install Start11. Please wait for Neil updates on this issue.
As of Windows 11 22631.2715, the taskbar is being painted by Windowblinds 11 (WB11). But the WB11 tray icon is missing and now I'm seeing that WB11 is not painting the Firefox title bar as of Firefox v120.0.
