Deleted a earlier version and installed this latest one. I like this newest version better. Thanks!

This is my new "go-to" theme for all current and new W11 installs! I have run into an issue though, where I can't get a transparent Start menu to display using Start11 and this skin. I've tried editing the skin and setting it's Start menu transparency to zero (or whatever all the way left is), but the Start menu is still a black background instead. If I unload WB, then it's transparent (actually completely clear). Does anyone know how I can achieve a transparent Start menu but continue using this wonderful theme?

You would need to edit the skin in skin studio. I have transparency set to none. Thats why its black. Set it to blur or semi-transparent to enable that.
I will look into adding transparent versions later down the road.

Thanks for the info! I think my version of SkinStudio is too old to support this theme but might give it a try anyway. If not, I'll have to look into getting SkinStudio updated, or wait for your updated theme...

Well, I kinda cheated lol. I updated my Stardock software, then used SkinStudio to edit the taskbar in Acrylic 7 so it had the coloring I wanted, then pointed SteamPowered to use it's taskbar and Start menu. I'm happy with this "hack" as now I have a transparent Start menu, and it will work until hopefully, an updated V3 comes out

Idk, I tried out the built in transparency options in windowblinds, I have no black startmenu/taskbar issues. If you are getting black images behind the taskbar, you might be having issues with your windowblinds install/drivers or possibly using a version of windows that is not supported by the software. use the support section if you are having issues.

Did you try with Start11 running and set to W10 style Start menu? That's when I couldn't get it to work.

Hi, any luck looking further into the transparency issue? Or is this just not going to work as expected since I'm using your skin with Start11?

It would seem that start11 does not obey the transparency options with windowblinds11 settings. It might need to be addressed with a bug report. I will look more into it and possibly just make a fully transparent substyle as an alternate style. Was busy getting out my CC collection at the time of looking into that issue.
