feature requests for Start8 (settings for the "Start"-Button in the charmbar)

settings for the "Start"-Button in the charmbar

from Stardock Forums

i'm missing an option in the start8 settings to change the behavior of the "Start"-Button (Flag) in the charmbar! it would be fine, when i can choose, that a click on it is going to the "modern ui start" (Windows 8 menu) or to the desktop. Now a click on this button looks like to have no function!?

I do not quite understand what you mean.

Are you saying the charm bar button is doing nothing?

ok, i was wrong! it's not a feature request, it's a BUG!

When Start8 (v.1.01) is running nothing happens when i click on the colored FLAG (Start) in the right charmbar. But I can click beside the flag -> and come to the Windows 8 menu. When Start8 is NOT running, i can click on the flag (AND beside the flag) and come to the Windows 8 menu.

I'm tested it on a german Win8 x64 version and in VM-Player with the x86 version - all have the same problem!

(sorry for my bad english)

Are you using the Win8 or Win7 style menu in Start8?

The bug is on both styles. I can only click beside the Start-Flag (in the charmbar). Nothing happens when i click on the Color (Flag)! It's not a big problem/issue only irritated me.

sorry, I forgot to mention that I use the taskbar on the right side, there where the charmbar appear! I have no "bug" when the taskbar is on the other sides.
