I apologize for not being more clear. Let me start over. Maybe I should not have used the word explorer at all. A better way to state the issue is that windows 11 has a new ui for their built in programs such as microsoft store, and xbox, ect. With it the close button aligns with the skinned close button. The window sizing button aligns with the skinned. The minimize button aligns. And even the newly programmed roll up button all work fine. The issue is when windows 11

There is finally a way to do this I believe. Someone earlier said that you could ask for a refund for the 1 license and instead buy the 5 license through a support ticket. The conversation is located here https://forums.stardock.com/508976/page/1/#3830486

Don, I have actually tried to steer this direction back towards windowblinds 11 planning with my comment of how awesome I think a skinned theme for windows 10 / 11 theme in start 11 would be. It just so happens everyone is more inclined to talk about what is going on with windowblinds 10. But users like to keep users humble here so I would say it has actually been constructive. We now know several areas that Windowblinds needs updated to work fully on windows 11. * The

Well said naroon, If there was no desire to have personalization to ones pc, then there would also be no need for a stardock products in general. We would all just be using windows as is and as intended. But that is not the case. Truth is there is a desire for personalization and that is why start 11 is selling with 4 themes for example. Because everyones tastes are different. Techies may be willing to go a bit further then casual users. And to each there own.

After playing around with Windowblinds 10 on Windows 11, I do have to say some of the missing elements are annoying. It is clearly made for Windows 10 not windows 11. It may be fun to play around with but do so at your own risk and please make sure you understand how to uninstall explorerpatcher if you wish to experiment as I do not feel this program is for casual users at all. Again I do not feel like explorerpatcher is a longterm solution at all, and that Lightstar

[quote who="LightStar" reply="378" id="3830421"] I just think everyone should continue to use Windows 10 and Windowblinds 10 until Windowblinds 11 is released by Stardock. But if you want to use Windows 11, just use Start 11 for now if you're happy with that. I personally don't thin hacking things in your system using software no one has ever heard about before is not a good idea. [/quote] I totally understand that sentiment lightstar. I even agree with you to a point.

I like to think of the explorer patcher method more as a backwards compatability for peoples favorite windows 10 themes. I do look forward to windows blinds 11 for several reasons. 1. Make themes based off of windows 10 or 11 theme for start 11. Huge selling point for me. 2. I don't actually hate the command bar. It would be nice to have themes that go with it

It just doesn't in the default middle for whatever reason

naroon1, I have been doing quite a bit of testing on it in regards to adjusting transparency, color darkness, and even font. I have also been tinkering with explorerpatcher to see what happens as things are adjusted on that end. My findings are that any skin modification that I have done works just fine with the file explorer. I have not had one single crash as long as the settings are adjusted as I have posted in explorerpatcher. I have also found one variable that is
