startisback + windowblinds = annoying error

startisback glitching with windowblinds

from Stardock Forums

hi, recently I started the 30 day trial of windowblinds because i wanted to skin my windows 10 with windows 7 style, i really hate the new interface, its really ugly, in the past i used to use stratisback to skin the taskbar, I did it without windowblinds installed, i like startisback because gives the style even in the jump lists and taskbar previews with round borders and the classic style of the close button in the taskbar preview, but i tried to do the same but with windowblinds installed, i am really disappointed, to start the taskbar previews does not change at all with any of the windowblinds styles included, the taskbar previews appears in black and without shadow and the start menu has the right side icon font in black, i tried with start10, again with 30 day trial but the program does not skin taskbar previews and jump list style, it appears with the very ugly windows 10 square-shaped style, i really hope that this issue gets resolved soon, i really like the windows 7 aero ui, thanks to the one that can resolve this issue :)

But StartIsBack doesn't work when WindowBlinds is enabled.

Yes, so I only use it to make taskbar buttons bigger and wider as win 7 taskbar, so I use open shell st menu but i don’t know if is there a way to don’t let windowblinds modify taskbar modifying sys files or in an update so startisback work proper, or in the next update of st10 that modifies the style of the previews and jump lists, and taskbar buttons wider like startisback do so that they look more similar to windows 7
