All I know is, it restarts explorer on purpose to clear the iconcache.

yes, it does that.. but when it restarts explorer it makes the start menu button completely disappear. and the only way to get it back is to reboot ur pc.. the same thing will happen every time u apply an iconpackage..

wierd, im on windows 10 because windows 11 is complete shit and i wont use it.. it never happened before, but soon as i updated to windowsblinds 11 and start 11, obviously never updated iconpackager because there is no update.. that started happening. number of other people reported the same thing, so idunno if the new apps conflict with the old iconpackager.. not sure, but its a HUGE pain in the rear...

it only happens on this pc im on now which has windowblinds 11 and start11 on it.. my other 2 pcs wich i didnt update and they still have windowblinds 10.89 and start10 on them.. iconpackager works perfectly fine on those.. it seems to only not work with the new windowblinds11 and start11

"Windows 11 is complete shit"
Not for all. I like it more than that inconsistent tiles mess. The more since 22H2.

i only used it when it first came out, i bought a gaming laptop and it had it on there.. i thought it was crap.. so i installed windows 10 over it and havent tried it since, back then tho none of the stardock programs were windows11 ready yet, that was another major reason i downgraded, perhaps now its better.. is the DPI scaling complete crap like it is on windows 10? i mean u can get it the way u want it on windows 10 just have to use a few programs and install that windows dpi fix.. u still gotta do that on windows 11?

Guys, your discussion (comments #40-48) has nothing to do with neone6's reason for posting this thread. Put simply, you're hijacking it.
Please start your own thread if you wish to continue.

neone6 not only do you supply stellar themes you also speak out eloquently on behalf of windowblinds users. As such a dude, have been trying unsuccessfully for hours to find solution to this problem which is vexing not only for those whose livelihood is on the line. Fix this issue, Stardock, or Jorge might just winstep his way into your market share.

Stardock does what it does, and JcRabbit does the same. Jorge's software (specifically the systray area) has also been adversely affected by Micosoft's changes in Moment 2. Btw, WSX and WB are complementary, not competitors.

"Glad to hear. Chuck. Did you do anything special?" - DrJBHL
I was using an old skin - Pitch Black - the start button would only display centered with Start11.
Switched to Pavonis - Start button can be displayed using all options in Start11.
Thinking it's not perfect but much improved. It's reasonable that there might be problems with some of the old skins.

Devils Advocate Mode: Implementing a startbutton graphic into the skin that fits the OS limited requirements is not an option as long as stardock fights with microsofts constant changes?

My LATEST Insidian (for example) HAS the problem mentioned... -It has Nothing to do with whether the Skin is "old" or not.
-Would be nice with info about if this is being worked on...

c242 whenever u apply an iconpackager theme it crashes windows completely and makes explorer restart, and when it restarts the start menu button goes missing and u cant bring the start button back until u restart ur PC.. but if u try and apply another iconpackager theme, it will crash it again and ull have to reboot ur pc again.. u didnt know this?
