Aero 11 Theme suddenly bugged on Windows 10

Buggy Aero 11

Hello,
I switched to a new computer yesterday and one of the first things I did was install Windowblinds 11 with the Aero 11 theme. It was working okay for a minute, then suddenly the buttons in certain menus started bugging out on me, and I'm not really sure why. I never had this issue on my old computer. Both machines run Windows 10, but I don't think that's the cause of anything considering every other theme works fine and Aero 11 worked fine on my other computer that used the same OS. Can anyone help here? Here's a screenshot.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more details on your system.

Windows 10 full version numbers. Use Winver.exe
Windowblinds 11 version numbers.
Does restart your computer resolve your issue?
Does the issue also happen on any other theme such as Diamond or Corporate?

Thanks

basj, my W11 is up to date: 23H2 (OS build 22631.2861) and I'm not having issues with WB11 and Aero 11 at all.

This is actually caused by High DPI and Windowblinds not sizing the images properly with the margins on DPi settings higher than 100%. Some things work fine on 125% while others dont. I am working on retooling the theme with support up to 175%. Not all W7 original images had this scaling method that stardock uses with wb11. in windows theme engine it scales by margins. But WB does not do it that way. It requires me to make higher DPI images, otherwise they look blurry as WB just upscales the images and not by margins.

You can keep tabs on the progress of it on my Deviantart page.

Windowblinds 11.02, (017 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 Bit
Restarting didn't have an affect, and no other themes caused any issues. The other replies lead me to believe it has to do with my computer using 125% scaling, but upon changing it I see that isn't the case, either (and my old computer also used 125% scaling and, again, never had any issues on that machine). I'll keep an eye on the Deviantart page for Aero 11, since the creator says here that they're going to fix scaling issues.

Just try this, delete off the Aero 11 you have in your system. Re-download it again. And try it. I suspect, it might be your current Aero 11 is corrupted somehow.

Thank you,

I actually did try this, and it didn't do anything. I'm not sure what the issue is.
