Actually there is now a new section in Skinstudio dealing with new windows 11 tab area. Not sure why some designer still not using it.
I think, some of them, and still the majority of users, are running Windows 10, and they haven't started doing those parts - yet. Just about 17% of the users globally are running Windows 11. About 70% still on Windows 10.
It is a bit of a double edge sword when a Windows release fails though. Windows 11 has failed with their start menu and taskbar and this creates a much higher demand to actually customize Windows in general.
I am willing to bet more people are happy with vanilla Windows 10 than they are with vanilla Windows 11. For me as an example I never used start 10 with Windows 10, but with Windows 11 I can not live without start 11.

Most likely why, though they should be at least running a VM and test their styles in Windows 11 to add tab support. Not that hard to do. ![]()
For me its the reverse way. I mainly develop for windows 11 and backport them to 10 through a vm.

As You can see here, WB still has problems with tabbed explorer. Same here.
yeah they need to add images to the tabbed frames and also modify the topglasswin11 areas to get them to look right under windows 11. I just think most people here are still on windows 10.
With enough time and effort, they could easily blend the windows 11 tabs into their themes.

Also some progress on Aero11. Almost all things skinned now. ![]()
Some noteable features:
*There are 17 Substyles one for each original color scheme (Not 100% accurate as inactive windows under 7 kinda cranked up the contrast) and a basic substyle.
*An alternate WBA file that includes all of the above stuff but all squared off!! ![]()

Those Tabs look really smooth, @SimplexDesigns!

Working on a new selfmade (to be massive) App-Iconset after aeons of personal-only modifications. I plan to release this along another addition to a well known iconset I seek permission for at the moment. No matter of the outcome this one will be released nevertheless.
But this may take time as it is only the beginning. I just hope there is no similar set arround.
