Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system and issue.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number. Please Winver.exe.
  2. Do you have Start11 installed?
  3. What do you mean the icons are not showing? Do you mean the taskbar not appearing as themed Windows Aero?

Thank you.

Windows 11 Pro, WinVer thinks I'm on Windows 10. 

2. Start11 I do not have installed.

3. Yeah that's what I mean, I'm trying to make my childhood PC; and originally the Wifi & Volume used to have a different look, right now it looks like the default Windows 11 Speaker and Volume.

That is strange, This is what Winver.exe usually show. Never I seen it show something it is not. Please post a screenshot of it.

As for the Taskbar tray area icons such as volume, internet access etc icons. Those can not be changed by Windowblinds.

Thank you,
