Hi all,

When using start11 taskbar setting "Start11 autohide mode" the desktop icons get very small (about the size of the icons in the system tray). When disabling autohide and enabling windows 11 taskbar autohide, the taskbar icons size reverts from large to medium.

So: Either have start11 autohide on and get large taskbar icons (if set to large) but very small desktop icons, or disable start11 autohide and use windows autohide, and then get normal desktop icons, but medium size taskbar icons (even when set to large).

Not a huge problem, but it would be nice if it got solved.

Henry

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. This is a new issue to me. Need to know your full Windows version numbers. Use Winver.exe. Also, do you have any other 3rd party software installed that change Taskbar behavior?

Thank you.

My icon titles are like this

 

Meaning I can't see the end of the title. 

I was wanting, for example Saturday with School on the next line and therefore fully viewable.

Not sure it's strictly a beta issue but was watching this thread ....

What do you mean by not possible to remove icons of system applications or applications installed from the Windows app store from this list?

The whatsapp icon is showing up here just fine, what version of the WhatsApp app do you have from the Microsoft store?

Hi Neil!!

I'm using the Modern style. In my list of recent app shortcuts, I can't remove system app shortcuts or shortcuts of other apps installed from the Microsoft Store. In previous versions, this worked fine.
For example, in the image, the WhatsApp shortcuts appears as a white square.

Thank you!!

Hello, When the taskbar is used "Align Top", I have noticed two inconsistencies:

#1 The "Show hidden icons" arrow in the systray is using the open/closed convention as if the taskbar is "Align Bottom".  When the taskbar is top aligned, I would expect the arrow to point down when the overflow icons are NOT shown and point up when the overflow icons are being shown.  As seen in screenshots, even though the taskbar is top aligned, it has not adapted the arrow orientation.

Start11 Enhanced Taskbar Top Aligned Closed

Start11 Enhanced Taskbar Top Aligned Open

Example: Windows 10 top aligned Closed

#2 The tool tip offsetting for overflow icons while shown from the systray tends to obscure the icons.  As seen in the screenshot, when the overflow icons are show and you hover over one of the icons, its tooltip obscures the icon.  This primarily affects the top row of overflow icons, but multiline tooltips obscure their respective icon regardless of row.

Ex: MyDell tooltip obscure MyDell systray icon

Ex: Outlook tooltip obscure Outlook systray icon

Ex: Multiline tooltip obscures its icon

Regards,

swregs

Why does installing a new version of Start11 require a reboot?

Because files are in use and the OS has an annoying habit of not freeing them when it should.  You would also need to restart explorer regardless.

Right click menu does not work for anything under the "Universal Applications" menu. The menu appears but is non-functional, you can't click on Pin to start11, rename, etc.
