***Reserved***

image is blurred at the bottom right corner of taskbar when you hover over it..

@ Psych0sis Make sure you have the "Show desktop button" set in SkinStudio.

Go to: Edit Startmenu and Taskbar > Edit Horizontal taskbars > Taskbar buttons > Show desktop button

There, if you have the image setup and still see the issue, go to the "Extra settings" tab and try switching the "Blend against the taskbar" setting on and off to see if help.

If you still have the issue, you can send me the skin and I can take a closer look for you.

Dani

this issue wasnt there until i installed start 11.. with start 10 it shows the image just fine... and by the way.. the issue is with every single skin, not just this one shown in the pictures..

@ Psych0sis Can I have a copy of that particular skin and also know what's your Windows version (10, 11)?

I understand that you didn't had the issue with Start10 but things changed a lot recently, Microsoft changed a lot of things in the taskbar, so it's natural that Start11 has to adapt to the changes too. (I'm talking from a designer point of view, I'm not a developer).

I'm asking for this info to try reproducing the issue over here, so it's very important to have the skin too, as I don't have that issue with the skins I have installed.

Hello,

I have the same problem as Psychosis.

"Blend against the taskbar" activated or not, doesn't change anything.

Here is my skin (user v3)

I have the same problem with the other skins provided.

I use windows 10 22h2, WB11, Start11 and IconPackager.

@ Jerome87 thank you for the skin to test, I'll check the issue and let you know as soon as I have a fix for it.

Regards,

Dani

The titlebar for latest windowblinds gui won't skin and all the skins that come with wb11 the searchbox issue is still present. I'm going to install a clean install to another drive and see how that goes.

Once again,

I am still not able to reproduce the issues you are seeing.

Hi Jérôme, I was able to reproduce the issue and I'm investigating for a possible fix, I'll post here when I find it

Hi there PapaBravo, thanks for the help, but I was able to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 and I'm looking for a fix, I'll post here as soon as it't sorted, again, thank you

hope it didn't expire

Still having issues with taskbar progress bars. The other states other than normal render improperly. Posted this in the last thread and had no reply.

I noticed a bug with taskbar progress bars. I was using Firefox downloading something and I noticed the button became super bright and transparent some what. I loaded up a windows 7 taskbar testing app and behold. It indeed errors on different button states. It messes up on Indeterminate, Error & Paused. Hopefully you guys can look into the issue. This is latest windows 11 22h2. Works fine on stock windows theme but breaks on any Windowblinds11 skin.

i believe the issue we have with the blurred taskbar on the right by the timestamp has to do with start11 and not windowblinds.. because as soon as i revert back to start10.. the blurry part goes away and everything is normal.. 

Show Desktop Button thats the proper name for it i guess.. the whole button gets blurred when you hover over it....

Hi, I'm having problems with the Ribbon Framework title bars.

As you can see from the picture below, the presence of the ribbon creates a few problems:

on the left side the title bar is totally white, while on the right side it covers the buttons.

No matter what theme/style I choose, the results are always the same.

Windows build 22621.963

WindowBlinds 11.01

Thank you in advance.

Are there any news on darkmode skins in WB11?

Hello,

I found the beginning of a clue for the translation error.

If I install only Start11, no translation problems.
All Programs is well translated as "Tous les programmes" and Back as "Retour".

If I also install WB11 everything is fine, but if I apply a skin the translation changes back to English instead of French. (Skin Diamond for the example)

Windows 10 22H2
Start11 1.36
WindowBlinds 11.01 (012 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS

Here is the screenshot :

Blank area on the right and happens with powershell as well.

Win10 v21H2 build 19044.2364
WB v11.01 (012 - Windows 10 Edition)

As far as I can tell selecting Dark Mode in WBConfig causes the Explorer Statusbar Text to be black regardless of SKS setting:

Thanks again, and happy holiday of your choosing.

Window's Explorer doesn't open. Win11 and WB 11.01.00.
Won't open with right click or through start menu

Went through uninstall, purge, reinstall direct from accounts page.
Same issue.

EDIT

It was Start11 causing grief. Once uninstalled Explorer behaved as expected.
