Well I went to install on my second computer and found it said window blinds and curtains was both incompatible with windows 11. But when installed it’s ok literally amazing
Installing WindowBlinds 10 on Windows 11 will have serious issues. You will find Explorer will crash when you open new explorer windows, menus in file open dialogs will paint as white squares, there is no taskbar skinning support* and windows will have weird painting around the borders over the client area.
WindowBlinds 11 is under development which will work on Windows 11.
Curtains 1.x does not work correctly on Windows 11 as you will not get the frames applied or the taskbar*. The only thing that is applied will be the OS accent colour, wallpaper and the min, max, close buttons on the titlebars.
* Note that the taskbar issues would not exist if you were using Start11 as well as it provides the support with Curtains and WB running.
When will we get windows blinds working on windows 11. Windows blinds is one of the best features of object desktop.
That is the big question many of us including Skinners have asked, we are told it is in the oven.
Check out The Windowblinds 11 Planning Topic as some of us could not wait either.
Well that’s better than they don’t know. Does the new one come with any new features

We have to hope it will come with plenty of new features, no one has even seen a Beta, so we have no way of knowing. I for one am hoping, WB11 knocks my socks off as the wait for numerous reasons, has been long.
Yeah for me not having it on windows 11 is a down side. I can never rate stardock products enough. My favourite is deskscapes which despite a design change is very stable. Start 11 works amazing, deskscapes copes but windows 11 has issues. I can’t wait for a beta
I too have been vocal about not having a WB on Win 11. Myself and another member worked with Explorer Patcher which allowed WB10 to work on Win 11, it did have a slight transparent line down the side of explorer Windows, something we could not fix, but it did allow it to work without crashing constantly, we posted screenshots in the topic i told you about. Since then the member i worked with on this project says an update to Start 11 may render the fix unusable.
Windowblinds has been my go to program since XP days, since Win 11 was released what seems like ages ago, i moved over to Themes as no WB11 is here yet, using a Tron Legacy Theme i made work on Win 11, screenshots in last months "Show us your desktops" sections along with several WB i use on a 4 SSD Multibooting System, two with WB 10 and 2 Win 11 with Themes.
I use my PC for both work in my online job and my own forum were i am Admin, so i can spend 10 Plus hours every day, so i had to seek out other ways of customising my Win 11, i would go crazy if i had to look at the minimal Win 11 desktop all day long, others love it as is.
SD has said we may have something soon with WB11, then an update seemed to contradict this , saying it is not imminent.
