Skinning WinX Menu

Been looking but don't see anything on this subject.

Any info on how to get the 'WinX' Menu to skin?

You  will need Start 10 installed and running for WB's to skin  the Win10 Start Menu. MS chose to make it non theme aware.

Windowblinds does NOT skin the Win10 start menu. I skins a Windows 7 start menu that start10 creates.

 

The native WinX menu (which I believe the OP is talking about.. right click on start button... not the Start10 right click menu either) I don't believe WB skins that either.

 

If you want Windows 10 experience then you are out of luck for skinning. If you want to stay with sudo win7 then it will skin some of the OS.

The 'WinX' Menu, (Start right click), colors okay, it just doesn't 'skin' as the others.

Just wondered if someone had a work around, is all.

Unfortunately no, there is no workaround unless Stardock comes up with one in future releases of SKS10/WB10.

Excellent! :)

Here's the 'fix' for Desktop/Explorer right click context menus:

Here's the 'fix' for Taskbar right click context menus:

WinX menu will 'color' but not skin! :(

Here's the comparison of both:

Switched to Dark Theme via Registry. Maybe that is the problem ?
