One thing to note about WSB and Windows 11 is that it can't theme the start menu, taskbar, new context menus and more because they are not a part of the .msstyles file. You can grab the latest beta which is able to modify the Windows 11 msstyles file, however since so many parts now use xaml/WinUI you can't really change as much as you used to on previous versions of Windows.

Latest beta can be found here: https://www.vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2615.0

It's the Beta but with improved xml files useful for changes in 10 and 11 msstyles

A UXTheme patcher will be needed, as for StartAllBack (which is the Windows 11 version of StartIsBack) I'm not sure of its capabilities since I haven't used it since Windows 8, however back then it did support theming by modifying the msstyles file. I think the current versions may include their own mini msstyles files containing just the startmenu and taskbar resources, however I'm not sure if those need to be edited separately or not.

You can start with the default Aero theme in Windows, personally I find that to be the best method.

For StartIsBack (or StartAllBack for Windows 11) you can make a copy of one of the themes it installs with located in C:\Program Files\StartAllBack\Styles

From there you'll want to just focus on the 'Start Menu' and 'Taskbar & System Tray' locations to modify those sections. For SIB/SAB themes they have to be applied from within SIB/SAB and don't require a UXTheme patcher.

This is the default aero theme with added default Windows 7 Taskbar and Start Menu, also included the stylescript and stylehack files to add your own to any theme on Windows 11, it must be a native Windows 11 theme or imported Windows 10 theme, will not work on themes that are not imported correctly, if you want to learn how to import a Windows 10 theme then look here https://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/88580-Windows-11-22H2-Updated-ClassMaps-and-Import-Scripts
