[quote who="basj" reply="3" id="3892222"] Have you tried purge and reinstall step? As mentioned here: https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling Thank you, Basj, Stardock Community Assistant [/quote] Okay, I tried this as well, being careful to include all the steps, but this issue still occurs... *BUT* I've discovered an int

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="1" id="3892183"] Uninstall WindowBlinds, reboot, then reinstall the latest WindowBlinds build. [/quote] nae, that did not fix it... I completely re-installed after rebooting, I now have Windowblinds 11.02 (017 x64 Windows 11 Edition) dated 2023/03/22 but I still have this issue.

I'm having an odd quirk on Windows 11 with WB11... The taskbar is being drawn too wide, and date/time are being clipped... When I first installed WB11 on this machine, it was drawing just fine... but I wanted to turn off the date/time, since I display that info with a different program... so I tried a trick from an online article, where I set the date and time display to single-digit values, which supposedly make the display disappear... it *did* do that, but it also confused

[quote who="basj" reply="4" id="3884415"] What you can do is, upgrade to WB11 with a discount, since you already own WB10. Know that, your WB10 key still work for WB10. And you will get new WB11 key for WB11. Also, from what I know, WB10 designed skin should work with WB11 without any major issue. You can do a free trial WB11 just to be sure on that. Thank you, Basj, Stardock Community Assistant [/quote] Hi Basj!! So you can confirm that i

hmmm... So should I just purchase a new copy of WB11 from this same account?? And yes, I realize that the older skins may not work with WB11; that's why I wish to stick with WB10 on my WB10 system... But I *am* interested to see what will or will not work on Windows 11!!

So... I recently bought a new laptop, when my old one died. The new machine is Windows 11... however, I still have my Windows 10 desktop machine, which I do *not* plan on upgrading until I absolutely have to... So I have a dilemma... I would like to upgrade to WB11 to run on my laptop, but continue to use WB10 on my desktop... If it was only a matter of cost, I would have no problem with just buying a second copy of WB for the desktop... but the problem with that is that

Hi @basj ... actually, I'm already a WB10 registered user, so probably cannot try the 30day version... I probably should do as @Jafo suggested, and hold off for a few months, to let WB11 get some mileage on it... The truth is, WB10 is working fine for me...

I just received the offer to upgrade to WB11... but want to make sure I won't lose use of any of my collection of skins if I upgrade... I'm still on Windows 10, and plan to remain there until support ends in 2026.

didn't think so... thanks...

They say alot of things have changed in this version... has cascading Programs menu been added yet?

Well, okay... second experiment over, back to Open Shell... I would have like to have WB able to skin the start menu, but Open Shell is the only one that provides the functionality that I expect from the start menu...

So... speaking of the left part of the Startmenu... I set the 'All Programs' so that it does *not* expand automatically expand when I click the Start button, so I have that open field there, which currently only contains the 'Windows Menu' icon... Is there some way for me to add other links there??

[quote who="basj" reply="3" id="3840627"] I am not sure on extension on trial. But you can purchase a license and ask for refund if it not what you expecting. To answer your question. I made a short video for it. Hope it show you how to add a folder and its cascading menu. Basj, Stardock Community Assistant. [/quote] Hi Basj!! Thank you for this video... so I'm trying this again... but there *is* a partial issue with it... So

ummm... I recently exhausted my 30-day trial, but only used it for a few days, as it didn't have ther cascading feature that I require... However, I wasn't aware of the... ummm... 'right panel' ?? Is there a possibility of getting an extension on the trial period, for 10 days or so?? I wouldn't mind taking another look at that... Also, is the menu editable? Can I add links to it, and have those links cascadable?

So, I just got an email from Stardock, saying "The Windows Start Menu that you have been asking for, is here"... So... does it finally have a cascading Programs menu?? I've certainly been asking for that, for many months now... And as always before, if it lacks that ONE FEATURE, it not only is *not* the Start Menu that I've been asking for, it is not of any use to me... Did they finally get this done??

I've been using WB since late last century, and there is *one* quirk that I've always found very frustrating... it is very common for me to find a new theme that I love, except that *one* color will be very undesirable for me - typically bright-white window backgrounds... but I always found Skin Studio difficult to use for such a purpose, so many skins I just ended up not using... Well... I don't know when that 'Modify Style / Manage Presets' option was added to the main WB window,

Hi all; I got an invitation email today, to get Start11... I had recently checked out Start10 (I'm still on Windows 10 21H2), but had backed away because it didn't offer cascading Programs menu. I thought to check out Start11 and see if that had changed, but I don't see a download option, only "purchase now" ... So has try-first option been removed for Start11 ?? If so, I would need to know that cascading Programs menu is available, before I will buy it... Can a

Well, okay, maybe I'll just stick with Open Shell... I was considering trying Start10 because I use WindowBlinds, and would like to have the themes applied to the start menu, but having to go back to that single-column-for-everything menu isn't very desirable to me...

I *much* prefer the old Windows- XP style cascading menus in the Start Menu... I'm using Windows 10 Pro, version 21h2 I have used Classic Start Menu / Open Start Menu for years now, which always offered that option. So for now, I'm investigating Start10, to get thematic Start Menu... but I don't see any way to get cascading Start Menu; the best I seem to be able to get is a continuous, linear start menu... Is this option available somewhere in the program??

Interesting... when I turned off the 'opt-in' beta, Steam immediately installed a 1.3GB upgrade (presumably the standard version), restarted Steam as you recommended, and then when I selected 'opt-in' again, it installed a 1.01GB package, and I'm now running V1.5 !! Don't know *what* happened the first time, but I'm set now!! Thank you for your help, @Rhonin_the_wizard !!

Huh... could I get a clue of *where* this supposed download is available... I click on downloads:manage... I see *there are no downloads in the queue*. On my Steam Library page, it shows the game as "Star Control: Origins [opt-in]", but there is no option to download any V1.50, I still have patch V1.42.76283 ... 1.5 does not appear available in any way... it seems like it should just work, but it just doesn't... ???

Well, I'm confused about this update... I went through the steps to enable the patch, but when I get to the Betas page, and I select "opt-in - v1.50 Preview", it asks for a beta access code, which I don't have. Where does this come from?

[quote who="Und3rsc0r3" reply="2" id="3795032"] I don't know if this is 100% true, but I have heard if you use open shell or classic shell while using windowsblinds it can cause big problems. I suggest making a popup in the installer warn the user. [/quote] nyet, current beta version of open shell (V 4.4.168) works fine with WindowBlinds 10... Both the WB folks and the open shell folks did work to resolve those issues. However, yes, classic shell hasn't worked with

Hi @Neil; which version of WB has this fix?? I'm currently using 10.87 (062)

Yes!! I probably should have come back here and updated this thread. The current version of Open-Shell has resolved this conflict, and now works pretty well with Windowblinds. I was grateful that the (volunteer) maintainers of that program took the time to look into the issue.
