this issue is still not fixed

The current release preview does not have much in the way of taskbar changes other than the new pinning options.  The next update is planned to have some taskbar enhancements and thats when we will be looking at things like that.

If you redownload the v2 installer this is probably addressed as we fixed a problem with system tray icons.  The installer was replaced so you must download the new one.

This works.  Thanks Sean.

It was fixed about 20 minutes ago.

A couple of bugs

1. The option to [hide search bar unless searching] is not working on the new start menu styles

2. Changing pages via the mouse wheel now requires the start menu to be at a certain height (i.e. it cant be short in height) in order to switch pages even with blank space on the menu.

A couple of suggestions

I would like to see some more customization on the [windows pro style]

1. The folder on the side is great. But is also a little wide for my taste and I would like the ability to make it slightly more narrow to free up space

2. I would also like the option to toggle on or off the user name / picture to free up space

edit- additional bug

Unpinning or pinning apps changes universally across windows 11 style, windows app style, windows pro style, and windows launcher style. Why this matters to me is because on Windows 11 style I will pin folders, but in Windows pro style there is no longer that need as the side menu takes care of it. I suppose if I decide to fully adopt a new menu style it won't matter in the long run.

I was able to reproduce this.

Do you mean this option?

How should I upgrade from 1.47.3 to 2.0 to prevent loosing my current configuration?

Using a set of screenshots?

Talking of settings backup to file, I also noticed a bug:

• The feature work as expected when saving to a new file.
• When selecting an existing file, there's no overwriting confirmation question and the process/configuration windows is frozen.
