windows blind11 wont apply on taskbar

Do you use openshell?

no, it should work without it right?

Then what were you using for that start menu you mentioned that wasn't skinning?

It will not help but could interfere with taskbar skinning.

windows blinds alone should skin menu and search bar isnt that right ?  i had open shell installed on win10 where only search  bar was not having skin effect and i deleted it to see if it was preventing  but it didnt had any effect. ok well ill try open shell anyways in this case

i just switched search bar from center to left and task bar and bar changed skin but taskbarsaerch still same

As mentioned before, to have a skinned start menu you have to use Start11.

i installed win11 but still have same issue with search box:(

no matter which skin i use it wont apply on here

You mean something like this?

This is on a system which also have Start11v2 on it. I don't think it will work on system without Start11 and the skin also need to have Windows 11 Start panel skinned.

yes  if you didnt notice my taskbar has skin applied already but it doesnt work on search box, maybe because the theme wasnt designed forwin11 search box? if so can i bring old win10 search box so the skin can apply

Do you have Start11 install in your system? If you do what is the full version number of it?

Thank you,

its 11.02 latest updated on steam

Than it is due to the theme do not have the Windows 11 Start menu skinned. Do note most theme don't skin the Start menu for Win10 and 11. Especially those older themes.

can i somehow filter the theme search with win11? and also can i bring old win10 menu search box to my windows 11?

That is not possible, the skin author should put the information under the Description in Wincustomize.com. For example this one: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/9752/.

Not sure what you're asking for. Please elaborate.

Thank you,

can i switch my taskbar design of windows 11 to windows 10 taskbar design so the old skins could work ?

Please post a screenshot of what you expect to see on your Windows 11.

Note, I am on Windows 10 with Start11 in it. If the skinner do not have Windows 10/11 skin done in the theme, it still won't skin the Windows 10 style Start menu.

i want to have old windwos 10 search box design on my windows 11 if thats possible so i can use skins designed for win10

This is Default Windows 10 search box. It the same with or without Windowblinds skin applied.

If you're looking for this look, it is not available in Start11 while in Windows 11.

I think there is some confusion here.

I think by search window you mean Start menu?
