Hi SimplexDesigns, I'm looking the issue and I was able to reproduce it. One thing that I would like to mention is that, that setting specifically, only work on Windows 10, it will not work on Windows 11, there's no way to set a custom color for the Explorer background on Windows 11, due the changes that Microsoft did to the OS. On Windows 11 the Explorer background will be either white or a very dark grey, almost black, depending on the mode set in the OS.

Hi there PapaBravo, thanks for the help, but I was able to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 and I'm looking for a fix, I'll post here as soon as it't sorted, again, thank you :)
Hi Jérôme, I was able to reproduce the issue and I'm investigating for a possible fix, I'll post here when I find it :)
@ Jerome87 thank you for the skin to test, I'll check the issue and let you know as soon as I have a fix for it. Regards, Dani
@ Psych0sis Can I have a copy of that particular skin and also know what's your Windows version (10, 11)? I understand that you didn't had the issue with Start10 but things changed a lot recently, Microsoft changed a lot of things in the taskbar, so it's natural that Start11 has to adapt to the changes too. (I'm talking from a designer point of view, I'm not a developer). I'm asking for this info to try reproducing the issue over here, so it's very important to have the s
@ Psych0sis Make sure you have the "Show desktop button" set in SkinStudio. Go to: Edit Startmenu and Taskbar > Edit Horizontal taskbars > Taskbar buttons > Show desktop button There, if you have the image setup and still see the issue, go to the "Extra settings" tab and try switching the "Blend against the taskbar" setting on and off to see if help. If you still have the issue, you can send me the skin and I can take a closer look for you.
[quote who="PapaBravo" reply="165" id="3873212"] where in sks and what numbers should I put? [/quote] You can configure the search box on Edit Explorer / IE shell parts > Edit Explorer parts > Search field background From there you can click in the "Painting" tab to see and set the margins. Again, try to keep the minimum of empty space around the box as possible, same thing apply to the Address field section. <img src="https://cdn
@bachbeet Also about the search box issue, make sure you're not adding too much empty space around the box, if you do, the arrow button will cover the box right edge, causing a issue similar to the one that you described.
@bachbeet are you running any custom DPI? (Settings App > Display > Scale & Layout > Scale) Is the Scale value 100% or other value? This could cause some text distortions depending on the monitor. Does you skins has a lot of custom fonts setup? I can't reproduce the issue here:
Dark skins are coming...
Hi there Mister, long time no see! Curtains has two way of editing the titlebar buttons 1 - Using the Buttons section: this method is more limited and will mostly change the basics of how the Windows buttons look. 2 - Using the Advanced Section: Here you need to edit the code by hand but you can change the position and experiment with some of the WB code. Please notice that there is separated sections for the buttons background and glyphs, but you can use 1 oth
Hi, The theme wallpaper was updated with a x2 size (3840 × 2160) and will come in the a Curtains update.

Just set ObjectDesktop Manager to install Beta version in its settings and as soon a beta is available, it will be installed. The setting is called "Show Beta downloads"
Hi martytx56, It looks like some of the file that control the skins colours are missing from the more recent WB builds, I'm working on adding the files back and they may be updated in the next coming builds, please check the updates and if the problem still persist, please PM me. Regard
diephoenix, As I said, SkinStudio let's you use custom settings, other than the OS default ones, the is is the beauty of skinning :) Anyway, I'm glad that the 6 states graphic is closer from what you wanted. Here is as PSD foil for this graphic, so you can change the colours of each state to get the right result you're looking for.
Hehe, I'm still a little lost in what situation the selections do not work as you expected but I totally understand that you're trying to a specific result that should be possible. I see that you're showing the selections with the classic UI now, gotta say that the classic and skinned UIs work in a different way, even the OS default skin. The thing is, WB will act like the OS skin in that part, not like the OS classic UI (not skinned). We ca
diephoenix, I was experimenting with the selection for you, SkinStudio is very versatile dealing with custom and experimental settings, I made that graphic with 6 states, the default are 3 states, here is a graphic, please put it inside your skin folder (Modern), open the skin with SkinStudio and select it from the image dropdown, change the "Image count" to 6 and then save and apply the s
Hello again die phoenix, You explanation really confuses me, seen to be something very specific that you're wanting to achieve but let me see if I understand better. I tried to mix the mouse cursor and the keyboard selection + the mix of the control key sand I got 3 different active selection states (without count the empty mouse away). Here is the screen: <img src="https://dl.dropboxuse
Hello diephoenix, WindowBlinds can skin that selection, it was always possible, since Vista era, maybe the skins you tried didn't have the right graphics set? Here is a video of one skin with the selection skinned, notice that the hover state for non elected items is grey and the selected one is blue. Video: https://dl.dropboxus
Hello guys! I'm always around, everyday, all day and part off the night, I just don't logo into IRC anymore, I always fail to notice the PM notification on WC too (sorry for that). Anyway, I will make a forum post giving a full permission to anyone on WC to port any of my skins, themes, icons and graphics (from my personal works, excluding clients stuff) so anyone can just go on and upload it without any delay, just
I'm going to watch the event, I'm going to upgrade to the new iPhone 5 for sure. I'm really looking forward for more integration between iOS and desktop apps (OS X and Windows) using iCloud and the new, bigger display.
