A couple of feature request: Right click on start button to bring up Win+X menu

from Stardock Forums

Is it possible to add an option that replaces the current menu that is shown when right clicking on the start button with the menu that pops up when pressing Win+X?

And a last thing, is it possible to make the mouse over area of the start button cover the entire graphic. Kinda hard to explain, but it seems like there is still a small area "reserved" for the start screen hot corner that makes the start menu button "lose focus", i.e. it's not in its mouse over state. The button still works as it should, its just a very minor graphic annoyance.

And another thing that I just discovered. Is it possible to have jump list tasks displayed in the start menu via the small right arrow beside the program name, without enabling jump list history?

All these are minor things really, but it should make the program even more fantastic :)

Here's an idea: The menu shown when right clicking the Start button could be combined with the Win+X menu. StartIsBack does that.

Exactly! I didn't really want to brings up competing programs, but right now I love some parts of Start8 and some parts of StartIsBack, so as soon as either brings all features I want and need I'll go with that.

We have added an option to the next build to replace the menu with the Win+X one instead as you can access Start8 configuration by right clicking on the start menu itself or by holding down shift / ctrl and right clicking.

Cool and thank you - I was going to suggest this when I purchased Start8 but didn't :(

 

A small bug, if you can call it that, because it even exists of you press Win+X. If the Win+X menu is displayed and the user presses the Windows Key to bring up the Start 8 menu then the Start 8 menu briefly appears and then quickly disappears. Could you please have it so that the Win+X menu is closed before the Start 8 menu is displayed if it is visible?

 

Cheers and keep up the good work
