Images not showing up on top and side of Start Menu when skin applied

Wednesday, November 30, 2022 by FSBarker | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Not sure if this is the write forum thread to post this in.

In this beautiful skin I purchased for Christmas the Wreath and graphics for the Start menu are not being applied when I install the theme.  I just get the same boring Windows 10 Start Menu.

I have:

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (19041.vb_release.191206-1406)
WindowBlinds 11.00 (011 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS
Start11 Version 1.31

I have talked with the author but it works on all his machines. And please note this is not a diss against this skin, it is beautiful and really want to have it install correctly.

Am I missing some setting? And yes, I have rebooted a few times. I also included a link to the skin I am having an issue with.  

Thanks, Scott

OK, so when I go into Start11 and set it to Windows 7, and using the Windows Blind theme, it is working.

Yeah, that's good news.

I would say this is not resolved. All 3 betas had this issue at least with all the skins I tried. Any skin that has animations seems to not work properly on Win7 style. I see it there but does not animate. Only animates at the spot its in as the menu slides open and then just stays static. Changing to 10 or 11 styles causes the graphic to show up behind those menus but animates. Idk if its a windowblinds or start11 issue. I dont think it should be loading that graphic on those modes unless specified in the theme.

The style in question: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/9189/

 

10/11 Styles

There is a start11 update which is going out later today which fixes those animation issues and them showing over the 10/11 menu too.

Honestly I thought what he was talking about was the same issue I posted. I did not realize it was just a theme he chose that did not have start11 10/11 style skins because of what he said about the Wreath not showing up top of the start menu. Honest mistake.
