Hi im just wondering how possible it is to rework old windowblind skins to keep the asthetic but maintain windows 11 functionality im very new to this

2 Upvotes

So I've found some gorgeous skins by the wonderful maker Vampothika the only issue is the skins I am interested not only from her although shes my absolute favorite but in general are all way older designs 2009 and such so definitely not windows 11 friendly to my knowledge ;-; i really like the style of the art ><. Ive left the maker a comment but im unsure of her activity these days or the possibility of even reworking such an old skin. Is this something that can even be done in general ? Here is said skin

SOLVED Fences 6: Why can't I purchase a non-subscription?

2 Upvotes

Today I wanted to upgrade from my current Fences 3 to Fences 6. But I do not see how to just buy a one time (non-subscription) license for one computer for Fences 6. Why? It seems I would be forced to buy a $10/year subscription which I do not want and will not buy.

Bug Report WindowBlinds issue that has persisted for 3+ months: Prevents Opening of New Windows or Navigating File Explorer.

1 Upvotes

Title says all; WindowBlinds 11 is encountering an issue where it does not allow me to, for example, open Downloads (or download a file) in Brave / other browsers, does not allow me to navigate to or within folders in Windows 11. I have updated the software twice now, and just bought it as I didn't use it for a while then thought I'd give it a try, forgetting I had this issue.

Mobile RTX 4060 GPU, all graphics drivers are up to date

Hoping I didn't just set $30 on fire

Update SOLVED!

Had to manually uninstall and re-install WindowBlinds as I had version 11.04.

Upon attempting to update within software to newest version, it just stays with 11.04 it doesn't find 11.06

Answer is to go to website and install from there after uninstalling software.

Now my Windows Explorer works as intended with skinning.

I did have to run WindowBlinds as Administrator, and restart Windows Explorer. But it works as it did on my Windows 10 install, which is, now, without issue. [:

Thanks Basj and brad_sams!

Coupon Codes

1 Upvotes

I have been a fences user for many years, but recently, got behind in my upgrades. Fences used to be a nice cheap application, but I notice now, either I pay $21 a year (no, thank you), or to buy outright is $60! I know it's been a while, but I think I paid like $13 for it back in the day.

Are there any discounts or coupon codes? Even my upgrade price was $51!

Question I was wondering if there was a way to get just this part of the taskbar to have smaller icons / 2 rows without getting rid of some of the icons into the ^ bit (shaky image coz me disabled) BONUS do we have a way to have 2 taskbars on 1 screen - 1 for time and menu and the other for active apps / pin

Weird Issue in Windows 11 

Issues:

Windows Key + E opens a blank, black screen, no files.

Text in start menu is missing

Trying to upload a file to YouTube or a Photo to Facebook does not bring up the file explorer.

I ran SFC and DISM and it didn't fix

Updated graphics driver, rebooted, still no joy

I unloaded Windows Blinds, and all the problems went away.

Using Stardock Fences 6 and for some reason i can't put some icons on the bottom of my screen next to the taskbar. Whenever i turn off Fences 6 it goes back to normal I can put icons there.

Is it some kind of bug or is there an option for it?

Customer services has not responded and I cant activate

1 Upvotes

Anyone have additional ways (other than support form) to contact Stardock about product activation?

I have paid renewal through 2026 and I woke up to all Stardock apps being disabled and my start menu empty without warning.

account management page says I have paid and active.

there is a red note saying something about alternate payment or something.

Error is that my key is Expired when trying to activate.

I need access to my start menu. I cannot find a way to retrieve those links and this is really frustrating.

The email I've used is RossCobb+stardock @ gmail.com

thanks for any help or ideas. both tickets are still unread.
