Apply a theme without a background windows

July 15, 2025 6:32:20 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Hello everyone...
Is it possible to apply a theme without background windows with WindowBlinds 11 and Start 11..? That is, keep the Windows 11 background windows (Explorer and everything else) and only display the menu and taskbar on the desktop...
Thanks everyone...

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please elaborate more on what you mean "background windows"? Windows Wallpaper?

Thank you,

Which menu do you mean? Start menu? Context menu?

Show only the desktop, start with the taskbar, and keep all the original Windows 11 background windows, like WinStep does, for example...
Thanks...

If I understand it correctly, that is not possible.

Thank you,

When I launch a Windowblinds theme, I only want to see the Start menu with the taskbar and not see everything else, namely the background windows with all those colors in Explorer and all the other dialog boxes, keeping the original white theme of Windows 11...
Is it possible to do this in the Windowblinds settings?

Ah..! Sorry, I didn't have time to see your reply, it's a shame, because I don't really like all the colors applied to the background in Explorer and everything else (colors, frames, buttons, etc.). Sometimes it all stings my eyes, I prefer to keep the original all white. It's just a preference, it doesn't mean I don't like Windowblinds, but it's a shame there isn't this option in the Windowblinds settings...
Thanks Basj and Thanks you all...
