WindowsBlinds has been bug free and amazing!!!!!! I only have one small complaint: On all the themes I downloaded and tried that even said WIndows 11, the Start Button in the middle on the taskbar DOES NOT change. That's one of the coolest features of applying themes, why doesn't it work? I'm saddened you guys released a version of windowsblinds that doesn't include this crucial skinning feature in Windows 11?
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Did you turn on this setting option?
ThanksBasj,Stardock Community Assistant.
It was unchecked like in your screenshot. I checked it, no difference. =/ No theme will change my start button, in the middle of the Windows 11 taskbar. Is this normal? Even ones that say "Win10 / Win11"
No, it is not normal. To try to figure out what is the issue on your system. Please provide informations as requested below.
Thank you,
Basj,Stardock Community Assistant
Thanks, good to know this is not normal behavior.
Look like you on Windows 11 preview version. Do know that we don't support Windows Insider/preview build. However we appreciate your report on this issue. I have forward your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their review.
It's likely a Start 11 settings issue.
He indicated that he does not have Start11 installed
Hello again,
Not sure why, today I also have Windows 11 version 22621.2215 on my system, which I though was insider preview release. Anyway, your issue not appearing on my system. So please try purge and reinstall steps as mention here : [Link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account page. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall and reboot again after the installation. Retest and report back here.
Thank you,Basj,Stardock Community Assistant.

I had the start button in the middle of the taskbar, if that helps. Just moved the start button to the left.Ran it, rebooted. Installing now. Latest vers from the store.stardock.com/myaccount/ page.It works now, but only when the start button is on the left. (Assuming this is what it did before.)I don't think that's complete in your app. I think the skins should also have a version for when we decide to put the start button in the middle. So, for when it's on the left, it works. When I set it to go in the center, it no longer works. Just my thoughts. Thanks for the stellar support, really appreciated. Take care!
Okay, I can reproduce this. This happen if you don't have Start11 install in your 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. Also note that on my system the taskbar also not skin. I am also on Windows 11 Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.2215).
Basj, another thing I noticed is the start menu when clicked, it looks like crap and doesn't skin. In the preview images, most the skins have amazing start menus. None of these are affected when I apply the skin.If I get Start11 and install it, would it skin the start menu?
Yes, for Start menu, you definitely need Start11.
Okay, cool. So it can skin something really awesome sort of like this? https://ibb.co/mG5gmK1Most skins and themes will work?
I can't verify that since I don't have that skin. But, I believe it should work. This is what I get on my system when I reinstalled Start11 and rebooted.
Perfect, I'm going for the start menu skin and button, even in the center that's great!! Thanks. I'll purchase and install it. Thank you!
