• Adds in checkbox to control if the autohide option on the right-click taskbar menu should show or not.  Only visible in UI when on Win11 and when enhanced taskbar is enabled.

• Tweaks to taskbar animations

• Tweaks to universal app icon loading and launching to handle a possible edge case

• Resolved autohide on top aligned secondary taskbar not always allowing maximized windows to fill all the space

• Resolved autohidden taskbar on secondary monitor not updating enhanced taskbar contents for changes that happened whilst the taskbar was hidden

• Adjusted the height of the small taskbar when using Win10 style buttons to be slightly taller so the clock isn't clipped

***Reserved***

This software forgets the activation key from time to time. Now stardock even forgets I've upgraded to v2 at all! I only find v1.

Frustrating!

No idea what you mean with ARM. 

I've upgraded from  v1 when v2 came out. Anyways I've made a ticket, my mail with the v2 key is lost and it's nowhere in my account..

I believe this version support ARM system. But, you will need ObjectDesktop active subscription key to activate it.

Thanks

I am a little confused, why do I need an objective desktop license to use the general release version? I thought OD was for beta testing?

When will this become GM?

I have a buy another five-pack license since I have other computers to install it on. Is there some kind of discount that I can get when buying a second five-pack license?

Just for clarity, when V2.07 becomes GM this release is expected to include ARM support?

Windows 11 23H2

Please fix the transparency of the new features.

If possible, fix the right-click menu on the taskbar (Probably related to the experimental function).

Hallo,

are there any plany to activate the drag and drop future?  

Best regards

My Start11 Menu icons in tabs are WAY smaller than they were. They are set to Default (and always were on Default but they showed up bigger) but now are super tiny. No other changes made, just installed the new build today (Version 2.07). Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (22631.3447). I'm running an UW monitor at 144Hz and a resolution of 3840x1600.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Best to create your own thread so we can try to help you from there. As we did on your other thread. Not sure why you said what your said above.

Thank you.
