Hi, anything new? I am primarily asking whether to use one of the open-source solutions (you probably know what I'm talking about) or whether I should wait. I would rather use something from a known/trusted vendor so if Stardock plans to do something in this area, I would be willing to wait.

Thank you,
David.

Thank you Neil. Let's hope there is more clarity (about the plans and/or roadmap) soon since the 1.0 was released now.

I've used Start8 and it was wonderful, I hope Start11 will live up to its standards.

I am also very much interested in:

1. Never combine taskbar icons   

2. Drag and drop files on taskbar icons   

These are both things which we are looking to include in the 1.1 release.

I have been fences user for years, now i have bought Start11 only because I expected to find this two features included, but I am a little dissapointed not finding them.

Please Stardock, add this two features, I cant understand how MS has deprecated them for windows 11.

I have tried some registry changes (found at google) to ungroup taskbar, all works, but they have a lot of problems, explorer crashesh, etc.

Great, I'm very interested in having taskbar labels back, with the option to disable combining. I tried StartAllBack, which has those options, but it makes too many non-optional changes to the UI that I don't like. I want to stick to the original Win11 UI as much as possible, just with certain functions added back. 

Also, it'd be great to have an option to center the icons, but leave the Start button in the corner. (Yeah, I just contradicted myself.)

I navigated my way through the Stardock site, found these forums, then found this post. Add me to the list of people that want these two features. I will buy this app the moment these features are added. Combining taskbar icons is so inefficient. 

It takes some effort to find this post so for each person that posts, I bet there are 5-10 people who want this feature but don't hunt out these forum posts.

Hope that gets Stardock excited about adding the features. Thanks!!
