[/quote] There has been quite a few versions of windowblinds 11 and start 11 flying around the last month or so. One thing that you might want to rule out is a bad install. It may be worth trying to uninstall both windowblinds 11 and start 1

WindowsBlinds 11 is essentially the same as WindowBlinds 10 only with several updates to work better on Windows 11 as well. There really is nothing to be gained from using Windowblinds 10 over WindowBlinds 11 if you own neither. Also, WindowBlinds 10 has reached the end of its update cycle and only WindowBlinds 11 will receive updates.

[quote who="c242" reply="24" id="3870097"] So, as my posting was removed: Will there any decent dark skin be included to test with WB11? [/quote] Hopefully, we can all at least agree on the new "Added custom titlebar sets for tabbed windows (Windows 11 only)" i.e. new luna skin looks good. If so then maybe bare minimum master skinners can then start using these new tabbed window frames and we can start getting some new skins that actually look good with explorer tabs

Most Windows 10 skins are not compatible on Windows 11. Hopefully, more artists will update their work for things such as the new file explorer. As of right now the Stardock preloaded themes currently are some of the best skins for Windows 11. There are a few cheats you could use such as using explorerpatcher to use a Windows 10 style ribbon or windows 7 command bar on Windows 11. Really though, we are just waiting on the bugs in beta to be ironed out a bit more and having a f

Explorerpatcher does not usually make release's for those builds. 22H2 and moment 1 with explorer tabs are on the release channel now. All you are getting on beta channel is a more tablet friendly taskbar; it might not be worth the payoff if you want to play around with non-Microsoft software.

Explorerpatcher works fine with windows 11 22h2 and Windowblinds 11. The Windows 10 taskbar option does have a few bugs (mostly with multiple monitors) but the option to tweak on either a windows 7 or 10 command bar works as intended.
