As of the latest version of windows 11, you can drag them all back out of the taskbar systray onto the taskbar. There is no way currently to enable all to show and I dont think start11 can add that back.

Skin studio needs Windows 11 default mode button. It only has up to windows 10.

Setting a dark mode image in skin studio does not actually do anything nor does it

eXperience Win11 Support (Soon) in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Working on updating the theme to support some of the new windows 11 features. Got a wip graphics for the sub-style blue, more to come at a later date. Also looking into adding dark mode support if I find a good way of doing so, its quite difficult to wip up darker images that match the XP aesthetic style. The start button will be cropped by removing the " start " text to get the theme prepped for the next version of Windows 11 that will limit the start button width to 48 pixel wide. So

WB11 will work fine with explorer patcher since that just re-enables a bunch of 10 stuff. If you turnoff immersive context menus, it will re-enable the classic windows 7/8 right click menus that would be skinnable via windowblinds. I would not rely on that program for to long as microsoft may eventually block those tweaks from happening. I have windows 7's command bar feature in explorer.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="18" id="3870070"] I am afraid text colour is either light or dark on the menu. You should be able control the margins using the extra settings options on the Advanced Values items on the Edit Win11/10 menus. The scrollbars are not exposed to WB as we had not considered those. It might be possible to expose those too, though without any size adjustment purely painting in the location etc they are already painting. [/quo

I do understand how it works. Works perfectly fine under WB10 on windows. In order to get light or dark icons and text I would just modify the color mode under windows settings like I do with WB11. However your OPTION for darkening the window frames added in WB11 messes with the themes. That should never happen unless the user wants that option enabled. This is 100% WB11 doing the darkening to the frames/buttons. Its not windows doing so. If my theme does not support dark mode and wont be get

Disable it by default.You guys have hundreds of skins in the gallery and many that will never support the feature.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="11" id="3869742"] The darken on your subline text app is because you told it to request a dark theme. WB gave it exactly what was asked of it. Without WB the titlebar would also look different in that mode. The issue is some apps ask for a dark theme and then work on a reasonable assumption that the colours are dark and so can use white text. If the app is set to use a light mode theme (which seems to leave the background dark

All skins will work on 11 perfectly fine as long as the light/dark mode feature is turned off. The new dark/light mode stuff will be the issue for most 10 themes, but as stardock put it. "can be disabled in options". Though it should be off by default because of this. Some fonts will become unreadable on either dark/light mode. The dark mode feature will darken most of the elements from the themes making them look somewhat like crap and not as intended from the original artist. Below is what
