The path for Windowblinds 11 is pretty open now, I bet it is released about the same time 22H2 drops.
H.O.P.E. SO
Hope so too, as I plan to jump out of insider when it is done (Fresh Install of course.). What we have now feels much more complete, consistent and and better, even smoother than initial W11.

Windowblinds 11 most likely will work with the Windows 11 build on the Beta channel but it will probably have problems if you are on the DEV build.

Does this mean WB11 is still not imminent regardless of were Windows11 is at right now.
It took SD 3 months to build the start 11 "taskbar features" before we saw a beta version. I do not see Windowblinds 11 being built any quicker then that if anything it might take a little longer.

Hi Pheonix,
Just trying to lock down something Solid, we were told "News Fairly Soon" then the update we get is "That is not imminent but on the radar" Confusing ?

Hello naroon,
I always thought it would be great if SD would give developers journals to keep us up to date on what they are doing. Unfortunately, they tend to work on projects in complete silence until they are about to release most of the time.
Stardocks user base, the master skinners, the beta testers, the people that leave feedback regularly; this is what makes Stardock software great. It is the strong passionate core group of everyday users that drives Stardocks software to succeed. I really do hope the powers to be understand the value of this group moving forward. This is because it is a value that can not be manufactured in a office.

That they do. Skinning has always been a symbiotic relationship, ever since the last century. There has been decades of 2-way interaction between Stardock and its customer-base, in particular the skinning community itself. This dates back well before even the origins of this site [Wincustomize - March, 2001].
One constant has always been....no amount of online argument or speculation or fretting will affect the release schedule of impending software...![]()

Agreed mate.
I really thought there for a moment with "News Fairly Soon" that we would have something, anything to peak our interest, but speculative speaking seems to be just that, even at the top, we hear conflicting things, seems Windowblinds is becoming a bit of an after thought, with other software taking priority. I feel this may go on and on.

-If so, someone has got their Priorities up the..........wall
Your not wrong neone6. If the Devs possibly Loved WB as much as some of us, you do have to wonder. Priorities Differ depending who you ask.

I have zero tolerance for multi-account makers here for no other purpose than to troll.
The child will be back, however perhaps the next time we can Have Stardock Legal directly involved.
Hint to all. This is called a 'Carriage Service", and the abuse of such is actually a Federal Crime.

My hope would be better Start* integration. WB10 currently only works with the w7 mode. I have grown pretty fond of its W11 mode with multiple pages etc... and would like to see that mode skinnable.
That is what I would call a kill shot. Integrating the Windows 10 / 11 start menu would provide clear separation from the competition.

Do we know yet if previous/current skins will still be supported in WB11 making older skins compatible. I was in the process of putting my next list of wants together for Vamp and neone6, but got spooked by a comment in an earlier topic saying, they may not be. It was not a comment by Staff as staff and SD are still not saying a lot about WB11 except comments that seem to contradict each other on when it will arrive.

Whilst there may be some bits which do not get supported, the current plan is where possible old skins will continue to work.

I talked with Brad Sams (VP of Software) yesterday about pinging the community (that's you all btw😉)for new skins as we get something we would like to show off. That is not imminent but on the radar.
Does this mean WB11 is still not imminent regardless of were Windows11 is at right now.
