The Start Menu of Windows 10 can be skinned? or users have to use the Start10 by Stardock?

You have to use Start10 for the start menu to skin.

Still no mouseover state on the start button....... :'(

Funny thing is, I use DisplayFusion for start buttons on both monitors, and the start button on the secondary screen has mouseovers that work. But not the primary monitor.

I am sorry to derail the thread but now with the good news of WB 10 released and working with Windows 10, is there any chance that we will see Icon Packager being compatible with Windows 10 soon too? That other app is all I need to be in my happy computing / desktop customizing place again like I did on Win 7 But yeah, good job to the devs. I've always liked Stardock and their creations and even have a couple of their games on Steam too  

Not to be a contrarian but I'm on Windows 10 and Iconpackager 5.10 is working great here. What issues are you experiencing?

If you already own WB you should get a notification (if you signed up with Stardock and don't own a pirated copy) via email offering a discounted price to upgrade. Otherwise you buy it full price. 

SkinStudio is a separate program that customizes the skins and yes, works with WB10.

IMO though, still have yet to see some really nice skins out there that pay attention to even the slightest of details. Everything available appeals to that of a 15 year old. Yack 

Just don't uninstall it because if you do it will break your OS, perhaps rendering it unusable.

I could not get Windowblinds 10 to work on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit laptop. I uninstalled WindowBlinds 7 and installed Windowblinds 10. It did install but I could not apply a skin, the UI would hang for about 40 seconds why trying to apply the skin but no change would take place. I checked the about section and it said that Windowblinds was installed properly but windows desktop manager service was not started. I checked services and it was running and it was set to start automatically. 

I uninstalled again using Revo Uninstaller Pro and reinstalled Windowblinds with the same result. I uninstalled 10 and went back to Windowblinds 7 and it works fine. I am actually in the minority and prefer the look of the old UI. The only reason I tried to upgrade was for the new skins. I made sure to grab those before I uninstalled Windowblinds 10. 

Do you have any AV or security software running?

I have Panda free and Malwarebytes Pro running. There was no indication from either of them of a problem and Windowblinds 7 installs fine. If one of those was the culprit I will never know (could check logs I guess) because I am happy with Windowblinds 7.

Actually I have not installed IconPackager yet, I am running the latest update build of Windows 10 (Some call it 10.1) and I am afraid to try it. but if it works I will install it. I held off after Windows 8 was released. 

Great to know about it breaking the OS if I remove it. Kind of afraid to see if I do install it if the next major OS build update will break this like it did with my other programs

DO NOT INSTALL ICONPACKAGER ON WINDOWS 10. 

It is not supported, and will cause issues.

Because I have done a few installs lately with trying to upgrade and a couple of reformats a couple months ago I am concerned about too many activations. I only recently learned about deactivating the license. Do I need to open a ticket to have a reset done? Different topic but it has to do with trying to install Windowblinds 10 unsuccessfully. 

If you have hit the limit and can't install, then you would need to start a support ticket.

Not there yet. Thanks

I have the same laptop. I uninstalled WB8, rebooted, ran ccleaner, installed WB 10, rebooted and everything works. Also did this with SkinStudio.

I basically did the same except using ccleaner but revo finds any leftovers which I deleted. It is not an issue because I like Windowblinds 7 better. 

Everything are working great with Windowblinds 10 and Start10 on Windows 10!

No installation issues or mouse over problems on start button. Congrats!   

I am using Firefox and I have heard issues with Modzilla --- TRUE??

Sed, there have been a few reports about FF not skinning. I don't use it so wouldn't know first hand.

You're right N, When I wrote that, I obviously didn't have the most current build installed. Mouseover is fine now!

I purchased 8.1 some time ago but do not have any links to WB 10 on my download page. Any idea why ??
