MS Edge not Skinning in WB 11

from Stardock Forums

Greetings.

WindowBlinds 11 Beta popped up in my inbox which I've been waiting for for awhile.

The Button under Advanced that gives detailed information about skinning MS Edge does seem to work and brings up a random Stardock page. I need to know what instruction to add to the MS Edge shortcut to disable the custom titlebar (if there is one) so the skinning works. Any clues? Thx

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Since Windowblinds 11 still new. I am not sure if the mod done for WB10 will still work on WB11. Try the link below. https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#chromeskin for guide on Edge/Chrome base browser.

Thank you,

Are you launching it from the shortcut that you made or the default installed one?

In the video below, the first launch is from the shortcut you need to make, as you can see it is skinned, the 2nd launch is from the start menu directly, no skin)

I don't know where to find Omen, so do this also happen with all skins? Are you perhaps on an insider build of Windows 11 (full version would be helpful and vital for anyone to help)? What version of Windowblinds are you using? You have to provide as much information as you can, or it makes it almost impossible to help you. I've looked through all your posts, and in none of them you have provided much info about your system/setup.

You need Start 11 also to have a skinned taskbar in Windows 11.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, no Stardock did not do it. I believe, Windows has change something in its taskbar to make it not skin-able properly in WB.

Thank you.
