I just tried installing and testing Stardock WindowBlinds® 11. I tried using the free version and i like it very much. Just what was needed with compliment with
the boring color and this Windows Theme or changing the taskbar etc. This software was able to change the theme, and beautiful ones too. "Diamond", "Corporate" and Acrylic 7 was
my favorite.
It changed the color of the taskbar and it looked better than boring Win 11 Desktop. So my concern is if anyone has purchased or anyone who tested, could
u give ur reviews here.I very much like to see. Also do u think there are any other software that could do it.
Using this was a fresh breath of cool air. Awaiting reply.

Here's ten points just for filling out your computer specs. :-)


I don't really use any theme changers. I do use TranslucentTB (MS Store), which can make the Taskbar, clear, among other options.

For most of the rest, I just use Win 11 Tutorials.





Here's some other things that you may find useful...

    Thinking about getting an eGpu for this system to take on the road with us.
Very much your choice, although see Edwin's experience with WindowBlinds which he found maybe a couple of years back a tad unpredictable or incomplete.. maybe that's improved.

I use Stardock's Fences & Icon Changer, Explorer Patcher, Open Shell, Qttabbar and DWMBlurglass, the last 4 free.

You can see the contrast between inactive and active titlebar in these:

Thank u all for ur reply. So i decided i'll buy it. Since its a fresh look for the taskbar and other changes like File Explorer Windows.
So the first thing i see is wallpaper and the taskbar which is kind a boring- Typical Billgates and his team, The Win xp taskbar was perfect
and felt like a boys toy. That feeling i don't get now when its Win 10 or 11. Win 11 has boring kind of colour and the taskbar too. System tray is okay.
Msoft doesn't incorporate things that made xp great. N it should be adopted in the later windows release. Ubuntu images for wallpaper has almost similar color images and it feels alright. But i m a noob in ubuntu. Thank u all.
