That's the solution. In fact, half of it. First, I've backuped MY skins folders, re installed WB on itself, rebooted, put skins back in public with no luck. So I went in colors... I'm always in dark mode as I'm blinded by white backgrounds and I can't read the black text on it. But for a funny reason, when activating any skin in WB, the 2nd option in colors is set to "light". Selecting "dark" again solved the issue. Thanks for your insight, both of you..

Yes it is : what is what I get, the green colors are pouff ...gone , replaced by this white. I'm using only WB as customisation software, with W10 being in dark mode. I'm very surprised about the difference between WB10.89 & 11 results.

Reply to Installation issue in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

what is very disturbing in this story is that I did installed successfully one WB11 copy in W10 besides it was a workstation license but, as this set up did get messed up after the restoration of a 3 years old W7 image on another disk, don't ask me why and how, and it was very sluggish at use (hardware not good enough ?), I've decided to set up a pro licence where WB11 didn't went along.
