    Has anyone tested OWLNext apps and Win11?

    I'm doing it right now using Win11 21H2 built 22000.258.
    So far all seems good.
    I will like to know the experiences of other users.

    I'm not migrated to Win 11 yet.
    I will let you know when I do.

    :o)

    Me neither. My AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU isn't supported by Windows 11.

    I'm thinking about upgrading, but I'm not in a rush.

    I have a laptop on which the Windows Update reports that it is ready to run Windows 11, but "Specific timing for when it will be offered can vary as we get it ready for you."

    So I am waiting for the moment, but I definitely plan to install it and test OWLNext apps under it.

    Good to hear. I don't expect much has changed with Windows 11, as far as OWLNext is concerned.

    I will like to know the experiences of other users.

    If you, or anyone else, want to test OWLNext applications on Windows 11, my application Lima VVA is available here on SourceForge. It is a small download (just ~2 MiB), quick to install and easy to remove. I would be grateful for any feedback.

    There is also Jogy's FolderSize, which is freely available in the Windows Store.

      It seems OK for my app. I am using 6.44 and all seem to work fine...

    I have now installed Windows 11 on my laptop, and I have done some preliminary testing with my application Lima VVA. So far, it seems to work just fine, except for one issue:

    In Windows 11, the arrow buttons for the common Scroll Bar control are normally invisible, except when the scroll bar has focus. In particular, this affects the TNoteTab control, which uses a small scroll bar control in the left or right corner to scroll the tabs, when they extend beyond the width of the window.

    Edit: This issue has now been fixed, and the fix will be included in upcoming releases of OWLNext 6.44.16 and 7.06. See [bugs:#505] for details.

    After some testing on Windows 11 (last build 22000.593) with my application, It seems ok...
    Except that first time I installed my app, some of my TDialog doesn't opened and close immediately (!?). But just after a second install, without modifying anything, all is ok.

    Crappy windows 11 or maybe i'm nuts ?
    I remembered some test of Windows 11 last year in december (virgo setup) and his Explorer.exe process was crashing all the time when you do a right click mouse on the screen to show the contextuel menu...
