Can I DM it to you? I thought I got it off WinCustomize (I think) but I can't find the link anymore. I have the file (Win 11, 6805.png) I can send you, but didn't want to post it publicly because it may have ownership rights. I went through WinCustomize and couldn't find it, so I'm not sure where I got it from.

I get that, but it works fine horizontally (top or bottom). See these two new shots. Same screen. The vertical one is WAY bigger than the horizontal one. I measure two Taskbar in both orientations, and the vertical is the same size as if you had Taskbar in Start11 set to "Medium" not "Small". The horizontal one does indeed resize the Start button. The app icons measure to the same size between the two orientations, but the Start button and Taskbar do not. <img src="https://cdn.stardoc

S11 V2.5 Vertical not using Small Taskbar setting properly. It appears that the Start button is bigger than other icons when vertically docked. When horizontally docked (top or bottom), the Taskbar is all smaller, including the Start button. But when I moved vertical (nice for my UW screen!) it's about the size of the normal sized Taskbar. It looks like the Start button is causing it. Screenshot at bottom of this post. Edition: Windows 11 Pro Version: 24H2 OS build: 261

Any update on this? I have three monitors. Latest Win 11 Enterprise build (23H2 22631.3880) standard Taskbar works fine with Start menu button centered on three monitors fine. When I load Start11 V2 2.08, the Start 11 V2 button goes left. The task icons center, but not the Start. If I unplug any one of the monitors, and reload, Start 11 V2 centers fine. I checked the other thread mentioned by @basj above, but no new information.

Interesting stats and comparison. I use it for a work a lot and for my $20 with OpenAI I do about 300+ prompts a month. I like the idea of DesktopGPT, but I'll stick with OpenAI direct for now. I'm excited to see the future of it, though!

Thanks for your fast response. I get it. It's just I already pay and need it for other things, so it would be a nice post 1.0 add-on and really add value to OD. Also, any chance you are working on history (seeing list of prompts you have submitted) vs. just the last one? Thanks for all the team does to delivery one of the finest collections of Windows software that has ever come out. ~Vince

I couldn't find this question asked anywhere, so I thought I'd ask here. Is there any future plan to allow people to use their paid ChatGPT accounts that we already have with OpenAI vs. having to buy Stardock credits? That would be a blocker for me.

@peliard, I had checked that, and it didn't say Small, but I didn't notice it was set to Absurd. But the icons showed up Tiny. Again, the config file I share between the two installs had it as Medium, but after the patch it changed it to Absurd. On one (Pro) Absurd as Default was showing Tiny icons. One the other (Enterprise) Absurd was showing Medium icons. Just weird. Oh well. Resetting that setting to Medium fixed it. Thanks!

I'm using Windows Pro style in Start 11 V2. What's wild is I have two installations of Win 11 (one pro and one enterprise) and both are on the same build level of Windows. Both are on the same build of Start 11 V2. I can load the same saved Start 11 V2 settings save file and on Enterprise it looks right and on Pro it is small. (With Default as setting.) And yes, if I manually make them bigger per tab, they do get bigger. But switching back to Default makes them tiny again on Pro.

I noted in my OP that they were set to Default. Nothing changed in settings from before the patch and after. And it's still set to Default. Yet the icons are tiny, as you can see in this additional screenshot. ~Vince

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.

Yes. I tried it all. I finally got it to install. I uninstalled EVERYTHING from Stardock. Cleaned out all of the Stardock (and product) stuff from the Registry and from my drive. Just basically obliterated anything close to Stardock.

It is not installed and trying to install after reboot results in the same pop up. Every time. Windows 11 latest GA build.

IconPackager install from Object Desktop keeps saying reboot, but it never works. I've tried everything I can think of, and it just never works, no matter how many times I reboot.

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="188" id="3866516"] Correct, Don. The setting in WindowBlinds 11 doesn't play well with Windows dark mode, which I use exclusively. [/quote] Thanks for the clarity... like the clarity that dark mode brings. HAHAHAA. Ahem. Sorry. :-)

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="182" id="3866389"] Can we lose the light/dark mode thing? Very bad idea, IMHO. [/quote] Dark mode is very helpful for developers who spend 10+ hours a day starting at a screen. I love it. It's all I've used since each OS I use came out with it. ~ V2

So far, so good. Really impressed with performance on Win 11 22H2. The only issues I've seen that is consistent with all skins (including the pre-packaged ones) is that the SysTray icons disappear sometimes (often). If you hover over each they come back. Just a very minor thing. <img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAY4AAAAQCAYAAAABH5j7AAAFA0lEQVR4nO2cz27aWBTGv7ILPMYtETIha7YJkkkWRIS8Ael0M0ZqFzDzCBlYTKU4m2nDG4SgsqBYarP1OhRkld7HgCw7C1+ba8fGNkkmf+b8pCy4vv58fQTnnHuOnVfzx

I haven't used SpaceMonger in some time because of odd size reporting issues. I just re-installed the latest version today (3.0 Build 1711 / 20181116-11-7FB1BD18) and it totally messed up. I run this on my Surface Laptop Studio which has a 1TB SSD. It does not have any compression or such on. BitLocker is on, but unlocked. As you can see from the attached screenshot it's reporting just massive sizes for folder that are just untrue. For instance, the WindowsApps area states 1.6

Oh, that is a bummer. I want everything center aligned. It was driving me crazy trying to figure it out in the settings app for Start11. Thanks for this post. At least I know it cannot be done with your advanced taskbar settings and all center aligned. (I wish MS hadn't left aligned widgets too in the latest patch.)

Yeah I'll pile on. Same thing here. Have my 4k Samsung monitor and all is fine. When I move it to a 1080p monitor my company sent me (Dell) my cursor is HUGE! It looks hilarious. LOL
