Doing the big update! Hope it works. Windowblinds 10.8 so I should be covered. Anyone else get the latest, May Win10 build?

Just checked a few things out. Changed up the WB skin I was using with no problem and no lag, in was very quick. Calculator is skinned as is the explorer windows and roll up works.

Oops. I misread as title bar buttons. Andy would be correct.

I noticed it's still using Win 10 button image. I can go into personalization/colors and change the color of the button.

So ?? You don't want the skins own buttons ? 
Yes I do. I was just reporting that WB is ignoring the taskbar buttons and that Win 10 still had control over them. Hoping that one of our moderators would see this and report it back to Stardock.

Windowblinds 10.8 is supposed to be compatible with the May update. Obviously title bar buttons are an issue that need to be addressed. I can live with the title bar buttons for now. Stardock needs to update WB. I'm not rolling back anything because it's a hassle man.
As Roseanne Rosanna Danna said: "Well, Jane, it just goes to show you, it's always something — if it ain't one thing, it's another."

WindowBlinds (and Skinstudio) needs a complete overhaul to be working no matter what M$ comes up with (for most part) or there will need to be an update every 3 weeks,

Is there any clue as to when WB is going to be fixed to work with the May update? More and more people are going to be getting the May update. There's the buttons on the taskbar. There's the dark font on some skins for the date/time. Any idea as to when a update for WB will be available to fix these problems?

Worth saying again
Unfortunately our time machine is currently broken so we cannot fix things Microsoft have yet to break 
For example in Windows 1903 Microsoft added new theme parts for Light taskbar mode.
We have an internal build addressing the taskbar buttons and I am sure once this goes through QA it will be released.
It is worth noting that the current build does work, it is simply that one small part of the skin isn't being applied and instead is using the default OS theme instead.

Ok guys, my main rig will not load explorer at startup after installing 1903. I have to go into task manager and manually launch explorer every boot. Rolling back. Just reporting.

I suspect that's unrelated to Windowblinds at least.
My recommendation to anyone is don't upgrade quickly on these things unless it fixes something you are hitting. The last windows update had some nasty bugs people were caught out by.
With 1903 you should be able to defer it for 6 months I think which is great news as you can let others be guinea pigs

I will say this. I have 9 PCs here, all but one has 1903 with zero issues. This main rig I call my Stardock rig, I had to roll back.
I'm not saying that it is windowblinds, or anything Stardock related, but something was stopping explorer from loading.

On 2 threads about this, everyone is having the same issue, and some are WB skinners. I'd say it's not a reinstall thing. More likely a Windows 10 1903 thing.
Just my opinion.
