Navigation Button UI Switch

from Stardock Forums

So it was discovered that ExplorerFrame on Windows 11 22H2 could be replaced with the one from 21H1 BETA, which brings back the windows 10 compact UI Fully. 

The ONLY THING that breaks with windows blinds 11 is literally just the navigation buttons. I tried WindowsBlinds10, and believe it or not, they worked perfectly. Besides text being Transparent, and I know WB11 supports WB10 as well.

Now I know this isnt reccomended in doing, but is there any way to change the UI? Or Toggle it to use Windows10s UI? Is there a certain DLL within WindowsBlinds I can change?

the pictures below are 

 

Win11 Default,

Diamond

Aero11

with WB11, with WB10, the navigation buttons are perfect, just broken text

 

Now I did try changing the position within skinstudio, but there's no option for it (and I tried editing the image to move it around). I know the solution would be suck it up and just use Windows11 Default ExplorerFrame, but I just love the compact look that they didn't actually include. 

 

Im talking about the navigation buttons (Back and Forth), not the navigation pane. I know there's a compact option, but that only affects the folder view. I have also tested with msstyle themes, and they work perfectly fine there.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I can't help you. Perhaps, someone else in the community could help you on this. I have moved your thread to Windowblinds for better exposure.

Thanks

It's not THAT bad? Some skins seem okay, while some have more issues

WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

Classic theme seems okay, I guess its more the dropdown button that'd need tweaked

The Win8 theme too
