[quote who="JCurie" reply="43" id="3841882"] Hopefully Microsoft doesn't ever get into skinning. [/quote] So far the direction of Microsoft just isn't skinning friendly so I do not see them going that route with Windows 11. Yes, Microsoft has made some very surprising and big acquisitions as of late, but the constant changes in their GUI show they simply do not care about skinning. On a plus note, I did see Neil make a post that alludes that he will eventually start

The only saving grace here is how badly Russia has run this war and how staunchly Ukraine has resisted. Had Russia succeeded the way they intended the west would have lost big time. But they didn't, Russia logistical planning has been a joke and the Russian airforce power doesn't really seem to exist the way it was described. It is like the whole campaign was theatrics on Russias part that largely relied on scaring Ukraine into retreat. Now that Ukraine has called Putins bluff and forced him

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="13" id="3841496"] With regards to skinning, exactly what will skin in a future WB11 isn't yet decided. There are OS changes coming down the pipeline which may impact taskbar skinning and in fact window skinning to a degree. Windows 11 is alas never done which makes things significantly harder to develop software of that nature as we never want to be in a position to offer a feature only to have to remove it in the future due to OS changes.

With my experience using explorerpatcher with Windowblinds 10 on Windows 11 I will say the method has held up with the changes Microsoft has made. The latest start 11 update gives stardock their own taskbar. I feel pretty optimistic start 11 could really help windowblinds 11. Neil and his team have been very busy with this taskbar and I dont think he has really had any time to sit down and look at possible creative ways around Microsoft's onslaught of UI changes. Maybe once start 11 f

[quote who="pdm502" reply="2" id="3841436"] version 1.15 [/quote] Version 1.15 is a beta release. The change log there is more specified for Windows 11 users so you may want to stay at version 1.11 which is the latest stable build. Version 1.11 has a known issue of stating that there is always an update even when there is not. I personally would follow the purge instructions and reinstall version 1.11. If that still does not work you can try the Beta release

Thanks Sean, Just downloaded it I really like the direction you took on the taskbar. Some of the alternative's resort to a hacked on taskbar that is really just a version of Windows 10's taskbar. Where Start 11 shines, it feels like a more like the modern Windows 11 taskbar that has the highly demanded "never combined tabs" incorporated. This is good because I believe most people prefer the look of Windows 11 in general and are only wanting more functionality. This seems to be the exa

From Brad's twitter posts I have seen some much needed functionality returning to the taskbar such as never combined tabs. This is definitely going to make a lot of people happy once it is done cooking. Perhaps having your on taskbar will help circumvent Microsoft's indecision on how a taskbar is supposed to function and all

For a while now, I thought it would be cool if stardock kind of integrated in a developers journal in regards to their projects. I understand not having exact time frames fits into the equation but it would be nice to have some sort of insight into what is in the works. For example, I have theorized that start 11 version 1.2 would be needed to begin work on windowblinds 11. But, that is coming from me. I think people want to hear from an actual developer if that is the case or not. I think a

Naroon, I agree. Stardock does have a web page and news section that may be a bit under utilized. There also does seem to be a fan base and people that check the forums regularly for news and updates. Sure, social media may be a platform to get your message out there and is good to use. But, at the same time the forum people should not be ignored either. I do understand the sentiment, that perhaps anything to do with this forum at times gets set onto the back burner and sometimes forg
