Support Windows 11

[TwicsX]

Anyone got it working on Windows 11 yet? And if not, is there any chance on perfmonbar getting updated to Windows 11?

[XhmikosR]

I'm unaware of a solution since Microsoft seems to have removed many taskbar-related features.

anyone use this on Win11?

It doesn't work with 11.

It DOES work on Win11 but you need to use ExplorerPatcher to restore the Win10 taskbar look. From there, you can get Perfmonbar working.

I have the old Quick Launch toolbar added as well, so my Win11 taskbar looks like my old Win10 taskbar.

The only problem I have is that on a light theme, Perfmonbar font is too light. Even if I change the font colour, it's still too light.

I'm more of a Linux user now than I am Windows and I find it really sad that Microsoft revamped the taskbar without leaving any compatibility APIs for legacy apps to continue working normally (or even sensibly). I just did some quick research after stumbling upon this issue and thought I'd leave a little guidance for me or anyone else who decide to have a go at implementing it later on. There's TrafficMonitor which seem to have gotten over the Windows 11 hurdle. I've looked at TaskBarDlg.cpp and noticed they have functions checking whether it's a Windows 11 taskbar but haven't delved deep enough to understand how it's all implemented. As I said before, I'm just leaving this information here for myself or anyone else who needs guidance. I might look into it more when I do decide to upgrade to Windows 11 and find that I can't use PMB. And besides all that, I'm mostly on Linux now as I've been fed up with Windows for some time now.
