Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. It would be best if you could provide few more details.

  1. Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number. Use Winver.exe to get to these numbers.
  2. Windowblinds 11 full version number installed.
  3. Name of themes that you having issue with. 
  4. Any other 3rd party application that you have running that change how your Windows file explorer work/look. Such as, Explorerpatcher, WindHawk, OpenShell etc.

Thank you,

Windows 10 but Windows Server 2022 have the same bugs.

WindowBlinds 11 trial.

OpenSheell.

 

Lot's of my skins have some bugs in WB11 like gray explorer bar, too small Start Button, Firefox freezing. WB10 works correct on W10 and Server 2022.

If you run without OpenShell does the issue appear?

I am not seeing a bug here?

That is exactly what the skin author intended I believe.

So the author is lying, and it's not Windows Classic? 

Some other skins from Windows 7 era works correct on WB10 but not in WB11.

Curtains 1.19.1 works correct with WB10 and Windows 10/Server 2019/2022 abut not work with WB11 and W10/Server.

You will need to mentioned which skin you're referring to and post some pictures so we can understand it better. Do know that there are limitations in Windows 11 that make some parts of it can not be skin properly.

Curtains is not compatible with Windows 11.

Curtains and Windowblinds11 work independently, if you start Curtains and apply a theme, Windowblinds will unload itself. Same way the other way around. What issue do you get when you trying to load Curtains theme while Windowblinds theme is loaded?
