Fix for taskbar toolbar buttons with Windows 10 Taskbar in Windows 11?

from Stardock Forums

Hello, I am having problems with WindowBlinds and the taskbar toolbar. Basically, I am using ExplorerPatcher to restore the Windows 10 taskbar in Windows 11. I am using a toolbar to display shortcuts (toolbars do not exist for the Windows 11 taskbar so I have to use the Windows 10 one). However, when I use a WindowBlinds style, any icons in the toolbar end up getting centered to the top left, as if the margins have been disabled.

Below I have attached images of what it looks like with and without the theme:

Additionally, it seems like the start button gets weirdly added to that same margin in some styles. Is there any way around this?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, I can not help you since I don't use Explorerpatcher on my system knowing it most probably create compatibility issue with lots of Stardock software such as Start11, Groupy etc. Would like to suggest using Start11v2 which has its own way reintroduce taskbar toolbar function in Windows 11. And Start11 should be more compatible with Windowblinds.

Thank you.

Unfortunately we cannot provide support for ExplorerPatcher.  The software is designed for use on an unmodified version of Windows 10/11.

Do you understand how ridiculous that is? This is all about customization/personalization of the Windows environment.
