Coming Soon: A New Theme for WindowBlinds 11, Fluent Luna
A fresh take on a classic Windows XP style
Thursday, June 8, 2023 by BradSams | Discussion: WindowBlinds News
When we released WindowBlinds 11 last year, we knew that retro themes would be a popular style for many of our users. After all, we now include several out of the box like a Windows classic design, a Windows XP style, and even a throwback Macintosh style too.
But what would a fresh take of Windows XP look like, one with modern design elements applied but to that the classic OS? Enter, Fluent Luna.
Fluent Luna takes our classic Luna skin for WindowBlinds 11 but enhances it in all the right places with gradients and updated elements to make it look a bit more modern but without sacrificing the core characteristics that make Luna a favorite skin of our community.
And like all of our recent retro skins, this will soon be included out of the box for new purchases of WindowBlinds 11, and for existing users, you can download it here. And if you are using Start11, you’ll be able to choose from Windows 7, Windows 10, and Windows 11 style Fluent Luna Start Menus.
WindowBlinds 11 is the easiest way to personalize your desktop. With thousands of skins to choose from and a robust set of customization options, you can stylize any skin to your exact specification. And if there is a skin that doesn’t exist that you want to build, SkinStudio is included with each purchase so that you can build your perfect interface.
If you don’t have WindowBlinds 11, you can learn more about it on the app page and it is also included in ObjectDesktop which is the easiest way to access our best customization and productivity tools with a single purchase.

The dl link for the Fluent Luna.wba in the article is currently functional...and the skin looks phenomenal! A solid 10. Someone has managed to skin those start menus beautifully. Kudos.

Edit...
Sorry, should have noted this is only happening in File Explorer...
Not trying to be negative but any other options than the lackluster titlebar shown here?
I am running the latest Win 11 Home Insider preview, so that might have something to do with it.

MS changed explorer bar again in the latest insider. Looks very like that is the problem.

It looks like your explorer thinks the bar should be in dark mode.

On 23H2 Microsoft change Explorer from Win32 to UWP so WB11 will have another problem. And 2024 = Windows 12.

Is there any hope for a decent built-in dark mode skin anytime?
