Royal is also now in, however because of the way the startmenu works, the jumplist on windows7/8 are not useable. Thats just a minor issue I dont plan on fixing as these are mainly designed for 10 XD The taskbar text is supposed to be white, but when you enable light mode on windows 10 2004 version, it

Reply to Taskbar Issues in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I can see that. Not sure if people use toolbars as much anymore. I use them quite often, so seeing the text break is saddening XD Might need to look into alternatives to launching my tools for the time being.

Hopefully at least the button graphic/font issue can be worked out. I don't mind the small icons, however it loading incorrect sections of WB is quit bothersome XD

Reply to Taskbar Issues in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Since you are on 1090, You can trigger the quicklaunch issue on your system by changing your system color to dark. You will notice the quicklaunch icons get smaller, font becomes transparent and the graphic for the button will load from Edit Toolbar Controls/button. Does that issue apply on your system? Example [quote who="basj" reply="5" id="3782265"] No, no update so fa

Any word? Been a few days now. The taskbar button font color seems to be an issue introduced in windows 10 2004 build. If you load Windows 10 1909 build, the button font color is loaded properly. The Quicklaunch button/font issue seems to be introduced when the light/dark mode option was added in windows 10. Hopefully this info can help.

I will have to keep that in mind for the Blue/Olive styles. Thanks for the tip! I also was testing out an old Xp menubar design. It works ok, but not sure what other programs will have it on all toolbars.

Yeah I wish I could do that, but there are no settings for me to set it up like that. In Skin Studio, I have those sections wiped so that it defaults to the sp_button bitmaps in the windowblinds style. Downside to using those is that when you use a dpi scale of 125% or more, they become messed up. So I reverted back to using the ones allowed in Skin Studio. Also adjusted the start button to use a lower case "s". Did not notice that in xp it was lowercase. haha [quote who="2of3" reply=

This issue happens on all windowblinds styles. Not just the one I shown to demo it. Every style included in WB I choose on both my systems and in the VMs have the same issue. It can be triggered on any style just by changing the color to light under windows settings. If on Dark, most issues will go away but not the one where the taskband button text color obeys the style's settings. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/40/19/4019518/d9fb4943-1b71-4861-aee1-1ef82327b889.png"

Metallic style added, onto Olive Style.

Taskbar Issues in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I seem to be coming across weird taskbar issues while using windowblinds. Some skins have either a dark or light taskbar, so I will usually go into windows settings and tweak the system color to be light or dark on the taskbar. This will make the icons on the notification tray white or black. However, I noticed odd issues when doing so. My Taskbar refuses to load the colors set for the taskbar buttons, quicklaunch buttons with text enabled show up transparent and the buttons for those quickla

Yeah I would like to know if this will be fixed. Really ruins some older styles I use. The button gets cut off. I know its possible still as Startisback can load the original windows vista orbs just fine.

I would use an orb style button but its seems to cut off on the top of the orb as of windows 10. Idk if windowblinds allows using larger orb style buttons anymore. This is the Xenomorph Style https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/suites/575/ [quote who="neone6" repl

Seems like it has finally gone away on my main system. It looks like a Cumulative Update that was not yet available for my system showed up in the updates. Installed it and my issue went away. Microsoft really need to double down on fixing all these types of bugs before releasing each update. :/

It was a fresh windows install when it happened while I was installing the driver via GeForce Experience app. It only happened once and has not happened since. Though I did notice on all systems I have 2004 installed on has black screens when using the new search win+s key combo.
