In the Windowblinds program go to " Wallpaper " then select " settings " then " random wallpaper ". On the scroll down menu select " never change wallpaper " If the skin is changing on you click on the cogwheel under style and select random styl

I think there is two differing philosophies between the two as well. StartAllBack is designed to be retro. It strictly focuses on bringing past items to Windows, i.e. windows 7 start menu and windows 10 taskbar, even it's themes are retro. Start 11 is more forward thinking. It is designed to take Windows 11's strengths into account while adding features for power users. Start 11's taskbar by default barrows parts of Windows 11's native taskbar while inserting a few new features. This means ch

Unfortunately, Windowblinds 10 is not compatible with Windows 11 it only works on Windows 10. Windowblinds 11 is currently in development and should be released sometime soon, that will be the program that is compatible with Windows 11

[quote who="naroon1" reply="221" id="3852361"] I presume this will come with the next Feature update to Win 11 [/quote] As of preveiw build 22621 I am still able to use a local account on Windows 11. This is the preview of Windows 11 feature update. The only thing that requires a MS account is the initial install of certain Windows 11 builds (I believe some do not). After the initial install you can switch to local account.

What kind of skinning or themes are you able to do on a native Windows 11 taskbar that you are unable to do with Start 11 running? I do know that you can get some of the older themes running by using explorerpatcher and start 11 together which are compatible. But I have not seen any way to get a custom theme to actually work on a Windows 11 taskbar

[quote]2. I am EXTREMELY dissapointed in this programs lack of openness. In StartAllBack, I am able inject my own msstyles into the taskbar, granted that only goes so far but this is where I am concerned . I know you are a paid closed source product (so is startallback), but I have no way to mess with and change the black box. I have a custom theme going on and if I knew where the items were, I could modify to fit the theme. Specifically the clock item for example. I want to make the clock on

There are two possibilities. 1. "Control" in your "start 11 settings" accidentally got switched to "window menu" rather then "start 11 menu" 2. Somehow Start 11 did not install correctly. In that case uninstall, restart pc, and reinstall the latest version of start 11 here Link *If it is still not working you could try a purge (this will remove all your settings) here <a href="https://forums.stardock.com/50587

[quote who="naroon1" reply="216" id="3851963"] It can be made to work , Win 11 can Run WB10, but that is a whole other thread. [/quote] It can, but it also looks like Windowblinds 11 is going to make changes to how it works. Just for the fun of it, I tested Windowblinds 10 with the Start 11 taskbar. I wouldn't recommend doing this by the way. What I found is that Windowblinds 10 doesn't fully hook in all the taskbar elements. The only thing that is carried over is the textur

The only time I have seen that message is if a program such as explorerpatcher or some other taskbar enhancer (i.e translucent TB / other windows store taskbar enhancers) is installed. If that is not the case with you I would try uninstalling start 11, rebooting and then installing the latest version of start 11 here link

[quote who="sharlowidalot" reply="8" id="3851916"] I know it's not recommended, but I've been running WindowBlinds 10 with Windows 11 since not long after Windows 11 released. Start 11 and some other software (I don't remember if it's okay to name it, so I wont). There are problems drawing certain Win32 dialogs and menubars, among other things, but I can live with it.

I am not finding a way to add effects or change the speed to a deskscape that is part of a "playlist" I can only find the option to do so with an individual deskscape playing alone. I do believe that you are bringing up an excellent feature request.
