BUT if you use Start11 1.42 or later (currently in beta) and have enhanced taskbar enabled this limitation is removed as we have greater control. That said if you have just one or two monitors this is allowed, if you have more than 2 monitors then only the primary monitor has a bigger start button.
NOW we're talking... That sounds promising.

The button shows in the Beta, but Mouseover or Pressing it does Nothing
Hmm, it should be.
Can you give an example of a skin with the issue please?

It actually disappears again when No Taskbar button is showing ( If no window or app is open)

I would say, Basically, if you get "Insidian" or one of my latest skins to function then any skins startbutton will work.

Everything in this update was asked for by the users. Simplex specifically has been very helpful in pointing out issues that need addressed. They ask/report them in a proper manner and does not complain or criticize.

SimplexDesigns is an exemplary member. Both JanOscar and I test his skins and enjoy interacting with him as well. I'm really glad you've noticed him as well as I've seen in Sean's comments, too.

Windowblinds is never "updated" just to add a skin. Point releases have changes which deal with issues properly raised and subsequently addressed...

great, ill see how everything runs after a few days.. seems to be working nicely at the moment.. hopefully no out of the blue windows/explorer crashes.. i know that issue is manily a iconpackager problem, but coulda been a windowblinds helping the cause also.

Updated Start11 and the only setting that works is having the Start Button centered. If I set it left in any way the button vanishes.

Actually the width limit is 55 pixels. We added a new Windows 11 new start button section to WB11 for this specific reason.
The next update to WB will make the buttons shrink to fit that space whilst maintaining aspect ratio.
Unfortunately this is a limitation of using the Windows 11 native taskbar.
BUT if you use Start11 1.42 or later (currently in beta) and have enhanced taskbar enabled this limitation is removed as we have greater control. That said if you have just one or two monitors this is allowed, if you have more than 2 monitors then only the primary monitor has a bigger start button.
