Start Button Issues V-O-X and other skins

February 5, 2025 7:52:27 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

So here's another issue I haven't researched...

Just bought V-O-X from Lightstar's site

Thwe Start button is chopped off...

  And start button replacement doesnt change anything

Screenshot is V-O-X since I'm in a dark phase but it happens on alot of different skins.

Doesnt seem to center the start button

Start 2.52

Windowblinds 11.04

Windows 11 24H2

Build: 26100.3037

These two settings in Windowblinds should be the answer to your issue:

The skin is not fully compatible with your Windows version or resolution. Try adjusting the DPI scaling settings in Windows to see if it helps. Also, try reinstalling the skin or updating to the latest version of WindowBlinds if you haven't already.

That's not the solution to the issue here. Please don't post if you don't know the correct answer or can add anything useful to the discussion.

Thanks Jan Oscar.

  Missed that force center check.

still issue remains with using custom start button image.

 I don't want to use the default OS start button

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I don't have the skin to test it out, but, have you check with the skin Author and see if the issue also appear in his system?

Thank you,
Basj,

As mentioned above, you have to turn this setting on in Windowblinds to use a custom/system start button:
