Chameleon works great on Windows 11.

Thanks for confirming it.

Chameleon works great on Windows 11.

Yes, Chameleon is working smoothly with Windows 11 Build 23H2 or older.
But I found the problem with 24H2 and my build is 26100.1742

I have been using Chameleon for the last 2 years and have no problem. I have been encountering this problem since I updated my Windows to 24H2. I don't know if the developer is still active or not as I haven't found any update on GitHub since 2021.

Just curious, do the Chameleon sample skins exhibit the same problem on your Win 11 version (or the skin jsmorley posted above)? Not sure if they use all the available options in the plugin, but who knows, maybe it's only some options that don't work instead of all. If it's indeed the Win version or the plugin at fault for this, it could help knowing what those options are and possibly post a report regarding that on the plugin's page...

EDIT: Well, you anticipated my question, it seems.

Huh. Anything in the log?

Socks the Fox hasn't been on the forums since 2021, so I'm guessing he is not actively supporting it anymore...

Yes, I have also tried Socks_2.7.3
Unfortunately, the result is the same black and white only.

For your information, In my skin, I was using Chameleon to detect colour from the Desktop to use in one part of my skin and for another part using Chameleon to detect colour from Album Art. I found the problem with the Desktop only. Album Art colour detection is working nicely.

I emailed Socks the Fox and asked him to come over to this thread if he has the time and interest. We will see.
