The purpose as it has always been, to change the default Windows interface & start menu. The reason to purchase is, obviously, to get the latest working version and quite frequent updates, and to support the company that make all this possible in the first place. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

I hate you.

 

lol..No, really, most universal apps do not skin the titlebar for me.  Is Edge's titlebar skinning for you?

 

Screenshot or it didn't happen...lol.

 

I digress. Some do, some don't. A few I can say that don't skin correctly for me are, Edge, Calendar, Photos, Mail, Video Editor......I will check more later.

 

Winstep users do not need to chance the start menu.  I wasn't talking about purchasing Windowblinds.  I was talking about Windowblinds Skins.  I didn't say I didn't like it.  I have purchased WB since 2005 and every skin since its inception.  The question was why should I continue to purchase anymore skins if they are not compatible anymore with browsers.

How can anyone, except you, know the answer to that?

I suppose I could try to type slower.

Browsers change very often and seem to have a mind of their own as for skinning.  If you want a browser that skins well, I'm afraid Internet Explorer is your option.

 

It is NOT that the SKINS  are incompatible with the browsers.

 

It IS the browsers not compatible with BEING SKINNED, or with the skinning program.

 

That said, windowblinds skins much more than just browsers, as you know, so, you give a little, get a lot.

 

Your call, of course.

Saw this about the Edge and thought I post it here incase anyone of you do have these bugs.  Having all the browser windows going black, or getting a fail to load error due to having a certain security software, but said software is not disclosed by Microsoft.

About the Bug Causing Microsoft Edge Windows to Turn Black

Hopefully you all been doing fine with it though.  Personally I'm still on FireFox, since I do like that the whole browser can be skined, although I am aware that there is other browsers that can be that as well.  

I use Defender. I have no need for any other bloatware.

I just want the title bar to skin and I will be a happy boy.

Ditto   

Ditto.  But it won't.

I'm a Happy Boy! I uninstalled Edge the reinstalled without losing my shortcuts and WB skins it. If anyone want to do it here are the instructions. 

Warning:  This restores the original Edge that came with Windows. So if you installed {or upgraded} to the Chrome Edge this will not let you use Chrome Extensions.

So you will have a choice Chrome Extensions or skinned with WB.  

 

Step 1: Backup your Edge Browser favorites.

Step 2: Show Hidden files folders and drives – Right click "Start Button" and Open "File Explorer" now Click “View” Tab in File Explorer and check mark “Hidden items”

Step 3: Navigate to C:\Users\Your username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe then "Delete" the “Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe” Folder

Step 4: Open Powershell by Typing “PowerShell” in Windows search. Now Right Click and Run as Administrator.
Then, Copy and Paste this Command in the PowerShell prompt box:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}

I exported my Favorites just incase but when I started Edge they were still there.

I also uninstalled Edge from Programs and features before doing this.

If you have a problem deleting the Microsoft Edge folder {step 3} open it up and delete the contents, then delete the folder.

Any workaround for Brave?
