I tried it briefly on my HP 2-in-1 but it did not run too well, being it has a small CPU and just 4 gigs of RAM.  11 looks okay but it requires a better machine to run efficiently, and right now all my desktop machines are off-line due to ongoing desk modifications.  I'll give 11 another go when I've finished upgrading my desk and those machines are once again on-line.

As for getting my head read, the last shrink who tried to read it broke down in tears and referred me to a colleague while making an urgent appointment for himself.  He reckoned he'd never been so confused or distracted.

Hello neone6  

I have just looked at your windowblind "Tron"  and it it is similar but not the same, i would never share something i have not created myself, this came from a site dealing in skin packs, so if after looking at yours

https://skins16.wincustomize.com/43/21/4321310/1/7726/preview-1-7726.jpg

You still see the one i am using as your work, i have left enough info in my reply to chase this up.

neon6 , just for future reference, if you could create the skinpack you see i am using , and change it to Electric Green instead of blue, then i would Buy it from you in a second.

If those graphics are truly yours, even though they differ in many ways, in many sections, please create a Green Version and make it available for WB 11, and i will be first to get out my Card and purchase.

Now you have really got my attention, Exact same one i am using in Green would be brilliant.

And yes, it's obvious that Neone6 graphics were used in the screenshot.

neone6.

I love your work and have purchased dark skins in the past from you, if you can create the exact one i am using, (thought about how to word this correctly without giving offence as it's the last thing on my mind) in Green and not your original (just a preference) , like i said, i will be first in the Que with my Credit Card.

Very sorry about coming upon your stolen work, you have my word it will not move further than my computer, if you need anything including the file i used for the theme and extras, just let me know and i will pass it over to you.

Windows 11 is not that much different than windows 7. Lots of similarities especially in the UI. Obviously no aero glass if and when Windows blinds comes out I could easily see a proverbial clone Windows 7. I would not be using 11 of one of my engineering programs didn't require either Windows 10 or 11. Since I've never used 10 other than in work. It only makes sense to update to 11 if that's the new version and if I have to adapt to it there is no sense in going to 10 and only to have to adapt to 11 sometime in the future. I do find it humorous that the famous ribbon that Microsoft touted it's now gone. I remember in the office beta having Microsoft Engineers tell me that I was wrong and the ribbon is the proverbial Alpha and Omega. Lol it's still funny. 

Just hoping at the very least, we can have aero glass from vista/7 with working reflections (moving the window and the reflection/shine moves too) replicated, and a working aero glow for the taskbar. We kinda have that with windows blinds 10? But it more glows the accent color rather than a color from the icon.

I haven’t read the full 13 pages, so sorry if I repeat something.
My suggestions for WindowBlinds 11:

1. Improve scaling e.g. for people who use 4k.

2. Give us some true Windows Styles out of the box, preferably Vista and Windows 7.

1. Improve scaling e.g. for people who use 4k.

for all resolutions really.. would be great!!

I have an Object Desktop subscription that is expiring and currently costs $20 to renew. The Retail price is $50.

When it first came out, with Win7, I subscribed to OD because I could download and run nearly a dozen different apps.

Over time, this has cut back to Startxx and Windowblinds -- which means they cost me $10 each, more than the $5 (?) for Startxx alone but not enough to matter for me.

But I don't really want to keep paying the OD renewal year after year, hoping that WB 11 will eventually be released.

And there is the dilemma -- if I let OD subscription die, then it will cost me (at least)  $50 to get it down the road when WB11 gets released. Or, I keep paying $20 a year for basically Start11 -- which while not a LOT, is bothersome because as some have pointed out here, there are NOW some really good Start Menu alternatives that are free.

And then, we get a post claiming the 2023 for Windowblinds was a "typo" and it is really 2022. So, as long as it really does come out next year, then my $20 renewal will get me WB 11.  But, as beaten to death here in this thread, there are no fine-grained accurate predictions of WB 11 availability.

An yeah, I know it's not a lot of money, I just don't like paying for something I'm not going to get.

Mark, without a 100% guarantee I can still say it's a safe bet your next sub will see you with WB11.  Arguably the only qualifier on that is whether Microsoft radically changes their OS in the meantime.

Nothing can be certain, not when compatibility with an OS can be outside your control...;)

I am running WindowFX, CursorFX, Multiplicity, DeskScapes, Start 11, IconPackager, SpaceMonger, SoundPackager, and I understand that Fences works as well.

deary me, Curtains was working fine on windows 11, which part of this thread highlights why it was canned in it's current form. It was the main reason for me getting object desktop over just ignoring it altogether and cobbling a start menu with whatever else pops up.

Curtains worked great, is there an option to re-enable it for windows 11 and have no support for it? I was going fine, as I am sure some others were too. :/

wizmarky, Did you not have unpainted (transparent) titlebars with Curtains on 11?  I did, on multiple rigs, hmm.

You will do.  The exception being universal apps and explorer windows.

I t worked well for what I needed and used, was my point. I dont have a need for a million different apps and the theming in curtains helped adjust to dark mode properly for my busted old eyes

You will do?  Typo?   For me explorer windows were transparent. But still reacted to the cursor.

The only issues I ever had were the occasional windows grey (blinding white to me) menus via some apps. I used less of those apps (filezilla...) and found nice alternatives that worked with windows 11 and curtains

I know and they are great, I use one of those right now which resemble Vista, but they are not perfect.

And who's perfect; no one is.....

Thus is what I miss

A friend of mine (sed) told me that this premium skin of mine,  Steampunk works with Windows 11!!!
I just checked it and yes it works... Sometimes though, explorer restarts..
