Windows 10 Specific Skins
Friday, February 3, 2017 by MeanMrGene | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Just wondering if anyone has developed a Window Blinds skin specifically for Windows 10 only? I see & have multiple skins that are Windows 7-10 compatible, but none of them "skin" the Windows 10 START MENU or the ACTION CENTER menu (on the right side of the screen).
Are these two menus un-skin-able? Or am I missing a step in the settings menu that I should click or un-click??
Just a question from a newbie.....
Cheers and keep up all the great work!!

You need Start 10 from Stardock along with Windowblinds 10 to skin the start menu in Windows 10. The action center as Neil said above is not skinnable.

Tom. Think this person is actually talking about the Win 10 start menu and would guess that is why Neil replied as he did.
Saying that this person did say they are a newbie so may not know about the start10 program.

Thanks guys! I did know about Start 10 -- but I was afraid to download it, as I already downloaded ShadowFX -- only to find out that it wasn't compatible with systems already running Windowblinds 10.....
So if everything is going to work well together -- then I guess Im off to the downloads page.
Thanks so much for your quick response
Cheers

Yes, Start 10 is entirely compatible with Windows 10....after all it was specifically designed for that OS ...

Ok - Start10 is installed and I was able to select the option to change my start menu to match my WindowBlinds theme.
Thanks for all your help guys!

Those are not skinnable other than background colour.
