To answer "Psychosis", whether he likes it or not, I don't pay anyone to do my themes. I realize them all alone like a big boy in my quiet little corner...
It's been twice that he has made remarks a little "Trolleuse" on my themes but I don't blame him, he has the right to think what he wants, without resentment on my part...
as for presenting it in the Winstep gallery, it's a bit complicated for the menu. I adapted it to my needs for 11 lines separators included. If we add lines, the image of Wednesday would be distorted by stretching, it is the defect of winstep which is not intended to insert graphics and I think that many people would complain about it with many returns to which it I would have to answer and I don't want all that. I made a request to "Jorge-JcRabbit" to remedy this problem and to be able to insert an image independently of the stretch, I did not have a positive answer because he has too much work on the rest "stability of winstep with Win11" and I understand...
To do this I represent the modified "Wednesday" theme with xion player and Rainmeter skins and sorry for "opeterson1"...

Picco, Psych0sis meant that he thought that someone commissioned you to create the theme "Wednesday" and for that reason your theme wasn't generally available. None of us realized it was because of difficulties with Winstep. Thank you for explaining. :thumbsup:  

Picco, Psych0sis voulait dire qu'il pensait que quelqu'un t'avait chargé de créer le thème "Mercredi" et que pour cette raison ton thème n'était généralement pas disponible. Aucun de nous n'a réalisé que c'était à cause de difficultés avec Winstep. Merci d'avoir expliqué. :thumbsup:

Ok "Psych0sis", I understood, I withdraw my words sorry and without resentment, but me too it can happen to me not to be too nice when I feel like someone is looking for me...
I must have misinterpreted your words...
Sorry again...

I forgot my new "Dock". ;-) Bought myself a StreamDeck. Nice to have all Programs and Folders at Your fingertip. ;-) No need to navigate Docks and startmenus anymore.

You've got to be kidding. It's only in every monthly desktop screenshot thread I publish, and every screenshot in each thread...either just the docks (on the right side), or with a NexStart taskbar and the side docks.

As You can see here, WB still has problems with tabbed explorer. Same here.

Actually there is now a new section in Skinstudio dealing with new windows 11 tab area. Not sure why some designer still not using it.

Thank you,

I think, some of them, and still the majority of users, are running Windows 10, and they haven't started doing those parts - yet. Just about 17% of the users globally are running Windows 11. About 70% still on Windows 10.

It is a bit of a double edge sword when a Windows release fails though. Windows 11 has failed with their start menu and taskbar and this creates a much higher demand to actually customize Windows in general.

I am willing to bet more people are happy with vanilla Windows 10 than they are with vanilla Windows 11. For me as an example I never used start 10 with Windows 10, but with Windows 11 I can not live without start 11.

Most likely why, though they should be at least running a VM and test their styles in Windows 11 to add tab support. Not that hard to do. XD

 

For me its the reverse way. I mainly develop for windows 11 and backport them to 10 through a vm.

yeah they need to add images to the tabbed frames and also modify the topglasswin11 areas to get them to look right under windows 11. I just think most people here are still on windows 10.

With enough time and effort, they could easily blend the windows 11 tabs into their themes.

 

Also some progress on Aero11. Almost all things skinned now. :D

Some noteable features:

*There are 17 Substyles one for each original color scheme (Not 100% accurate as inactive windows under 7 kinda cranked up the contrast) and a basic substyle.

*An alternate WBA file that includes all of the above stuff but all squared off!! :D
