Aero11 (Vista Edition) in the works. Top glass area bug is preventing me from releasing Aero11 (Windows 7 Edition) so I moved onto Vista for the time being until Stardock looks into the issue I posted about.

 

Using Retro bar for the taskbar due to the start button not being allowed past the taskbar like it was in windows 8 and below.

The videos I watched of RetroBar didn't have Vista, 8, etc. How did you add those Windows editions? Classic Shell?

There's also a way to do it with several regedits...

Retrobar is an application that builds its own taskbar replacement from scratch, its pretty much the XP taskbar with most skins up to vista. Seems to work fine with start11, though I have not tested with moments update 2. That might have broken it. No registry mods required as its an application.

^---This is something I want stardock to look into making. Windows 11 taskbar limitations are starting to suck and we still have no toolbar support. It would be a hit if stardock could make their own and tie it in with start11/Windowblinds11.

Hadn't seen the github link when I searched for it, so thanks. The versions I saw were without the Vista taskbar. I know it doesn't hack the registry and works like WB, per drenin. I did see a video with the registry hacks (not his). I thought the taskbar loses W11 functionality and systray icons, as well. Also are the modern icons, not Vista ones, but that's no biggy. :thumbsup:

I agree wholeheartedly, but doesn't drenin have the rights to it?

Not like take the app but build their own. Stardock already has a base to work off of (Objectbar) <-has not been touched in years, just update it to support start11/windowblinds11 and add a few missing features.

SD would never just take something, but Object Bar fused with RightClick in a suite with Object Dock and DX would be awesome and probably net quite a few new enthusiasts.

That's probably the best I've seen for a genuinely dark mode skin with great looking W10 tiles. 5*  5*  :thumbsup:

Coming soon (next week if nothing happens) as Icons and PNGs. :-) Some still need polishing (office folders). +18 other colors will be in the package fitting the mighty Apogee Suite.
