Currently, the WB11 tray icon doesn't display, and WB doesn't paint Firefox or Edge title bars (on my Dell Precision 7530).  Is there a plan to fix this?

While I need to look into any systray issue, WB has not been able to skin either of those for some time from how each browser has changed how their title bars are painted.

I have a problem when WindowBlinds is skinning my Stream Deck window. When the Stream Deck window is opened the first time, everything looks as it should (left part of the image below). If I move the Stream Deck window just a bit, the content of the window seems to shift slightly. After that (and for the remainder of the application lifetime), dropdowns have their lists shifted compared to where the dropdown field is located (right side of the image below). If I configure WindowBlinds to ignore Stream Deck, the dropdown lists are always attached to the dropdown field.

Is this limited to a specific skin or all?  If limited, what Skins that installed with the base version of WB can it be reproduced with and what ones are fine?

The only skin I have found that is completely unaffected is the "Default theme". :)   All other skins I've tested are affected in one way or another, and it differs between skins.

The content is shifted both vertically and horizontally. When using the "Kairon" skin, and many similar to that, the content of the window is clearly shifted to the right when the window is moved the first time. There is a scrollbar along the right edge, and that is completely gone after the shift. I get the impression that the amount of shadow around the window affects the situation. The "Mac Classic" and "Window Classic" skins have no visible shadow, and when using these skins, the window content is shifted LEFT when the window is moved the first time. Some skins, like "Echo" and "Lantana", have no horizontal shift but a vertical one.

Hi, I have been using WindowBlinds for several years mostly with no issues. But for some reason today I came home and found it no longer working out of nowhere. I can run the program and apply skins as per usual but now no matter which skin I apply once applied I can no longer open any Windows Explorer windows. As soon as I turn off WindowBlinds and apply the default Windows theme it starts working again. I have no idea why this has started. Anyone else having this issue? Its so odd. I looked at my Windows update history for the past couple days and uninstalled the couple updates to see if this would restore WindowBlinds to a working state again with no luck. I have no idea what caused this issue. (I seen there is a new WindowBlinds beta Version curious how to get it and see if the problem exists there as well?)
