Hi! If I apply a skin with (Steam) WindowBlinds 11, it removes (Steam) Start11 2.0's start button skin in last Windows 11 Pro 22H2

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. You can turn off Windowblinds control on Start button skinning by turning this "on".

Thanks

Oh thank you!  

Windows 11 Professional 23H2 (22621.ni_release.220506-1250)
WindowBlinds 11.02 (017 x64 - Windows 11 Edition) - 64 bit OS

Skin - The Raven

Having this skin active prevents Total War launcher from running
From Total War Warhammer II and III

When the style skin is set to default the launcher runs ok

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try to add the launcher.exe to Windowblinds ignore list. Something like screenshot below.

Thanks

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that GIMP (2.10.36 and 2.99.18 tested) crashes on start due to WindowBlinds. Adding it to WB's ignore list solves the problem (none of the other options help in the per-app settings). I believe it's a GTK issue.

Adding the launchers to the exclusion list does not resolve the problem

Do you mean the issue only happen with The Raven applied? No issue on other skins?

Thank you,

Hello,
I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Would like to suggest, also include all executable files in that same game directory, it might also get execute when launching the game.

Thank you,

Ok thanks, seems there are 2 launchers for each game, 1 that takes you to the Total war launcher and the other a file deeper takes you direct to the specific game

So it is working now?

Thank you,

ugh...ok, I've set to "recover original" and I can see the text in the above again, but I'm not in dark mode any more

I wanted to say that this has been a problem for ages as I had GIMP installed, only 30 versions prior (I don't use it much) and back then I had excluded the app in WB's settings. Now I've updated to v2.10.36 it seems to run fine. It might be that certain parts of the program don't display correctly but at a glance it's OK albeit with the very old skin I'm using on Windows 10 (same WB version though). I would conclude then that the team have fixed that particular bug but maybe not on Win 11? Anyone else care to test too?

This isn't a problem for me. Well I say that but right now I can't test the latest version of the dlls (another issue) but I CAN see the latest version of this config app just fine. I don't use dark mode (although ironically the ONE update was a fix for that mode!) so perhaps that's the issue? I'm somewhat glad you mentioned this app as it turns out I've been using it for the last 7 years; what a coincidence. I do need to update but I'm a bit worried this going to become a rabbit hole and I might break everything... Oh well. Proof it's OK for me:

Does this apply to Vivaldi?

I turned on the option "Use native window" in settings, but WindowBlinds doesn't skin Vivaldi.

I tried --disable-windows10-custom-titlebar commandline argument but no chance.

Edit: Groupy 2, your another software, thinks Vivaldi's window is compatible to combine tabs into titlebar.

Windowblinds is limiting functionality on my Windows 11 PC with every skin I have tried.

In File Explorer, when I click on a folder in the left pane it does not open the folder.

In multiple apps, when I try to SAVE AS (eg, exporting a PAINT file to JPG or SAVE AS PICTURE in Powerpoint), the popup is blocked and I cannot save.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Unfortunately, I can not reproduce your issue on my system. Need more information.

1. Windows 11 full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe.
2. Videos showing this issue so we can understand it better and try to reproduce it on our system.

Thank you.

Windows Home v23H2 OS Build 22635.4655

I will post a screen recording later today.

EDIT: I am 1) unable to attach a video, apparently, and 2) I am apparently unable to add a second reply as a 'new account'. Please advise.

Look like you on Windows 11 insider preview Build. Do know that Stardock do not support Windows  on preview/beta release. I have forwarded your problem to Stardock Support Team for their revie. We appreciate your feedback.

For some reason LibreWolf, a free and open-source fork of Firefox, will only be skinned if the .exe is named "firefox.exe" and not "librewolf.exe". renaming the librewolf exe to "firefox.exe" allows the browser to be skinned at the cost of discord links not being openable..

oh wait, adding --disable-windows10-custom-titlebar to the end of a shortcut target fixed it " "C:\Program Files\LibreWolf\librewolf.exe" --disable-windows10-custom-titlebar "
