After unfortunately not making any progress with Stardock support on my changing screens / docking stations issue with Windows 10 (linked above), I have switched to StartIsBack which provides the option to center my icons and works fine when I connect/disconnect and is in active development. It of course lacks all the features of Start11 but I really wanted the centered icons given I use a widescreen monitor size. I did have similar issues with TaskbarX so appreciate the challenge in

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="4" id="3906174"] What problems are you having with docking stations and changing resolutions? [/quote] To follow up I have posted about this here: https://forums.stardock.com/523628/get;3907831

I am still finding with Start11 v2 (including latest beta 1.02) problems when undocking my Dell laptop. When docked I use a 4K monitor (3840x2160) and when undocked use my laptop screen (1920x1080). When I undock and use my laptop screen (switching from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080) Start 11v2 the task bar crops to the right as shown. I did do a complete uninstall, reboot and install then reboot when upgrading to the latest beta. I also passed Go and collected $200 :-)

Really, isn't Brad Sams your boss?

Brad Sams tweeted that Start 11 is going through a major revamp Any insights on what features are coming? Will it finally work better for those with docking stations and changing monitor resolutions? Thanks.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="20" id="3899950"] Something like Ultramon or DisplayFusion or actual window tools? [/quote] Yes I do have Displayfusion installed. Even with DF turned off the same thing happens. It appears to occur the first time an Office app loads or a new window is created. Once I maximize/restore the window is displayed correctly without overlap.

Can you uninstall Groupy, reboot and then reinstall Groupy just to rule out file replacement issues. Thanks Neil, I did do this on doing the upgrade as know this is a best practice when installing updates.

I'm still getting the overlap issues with MS Office apps as reported here https://forums.stardock.com/521553/get;3898534 Running Windows 10 [Version 10.0.19045.3324]

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="26" id="3898534"] Which version of Windows are you using and do you have Groupy set to autohide tabs in any state? [/quote] Windows 10 [10.0.19045.3208] Tabs set to always visible...

I am having some issues with the 2.1 update [I have done an uninstall, reboot and reinstall which has not fixed it] I have set Groupy 2 to Integrate the Tabs. When starting some apps (like PowerPoint) which loads maximized, Groupy 2 is overlapping the window as shown and I have to restore window and then maximize for it to display correctly.

So I have made some progress with this using AutoHotKey and creating 2 scripts. For moving the taskbar icons to the left [code="vbscript"]#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability. RegWrite, REG_SZ, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8, CentreStartButton, 0 RegWrite, REG_SZ, HKEY_CURRENT_USE

Hi basj, Any luck with the Stardock Support Team? I presume the lack of response means it is not possible? Cheers, Chris.

Is there a way to quickly toggle the position of the taskbar icons and start button without having to go through the GUI? (i.e via command line) So I can create a one click shortcut. I would like to toggle between the left and center positions depending on whether my laptop is docked (larger monitor) or not.

When I connect or disconnect my laptop from an external monitor (change display and resolution) the taskbar icons are shifted to the right and some icons are out of sight. Re-running Start11 does force a refresh and the icons appear normally in the center. Any ideas how to fix this? I also used to get the same problem with TaskbarX.

Is there a way to quickly go back to the root folder where a folder portal was created? Just trying out Fences and notice the location I browse to in a fence seems to be persistent.

I agree with the OP too - I am struggling to understand what benefit this provides over and above Task View and Task Bar. Also I would like to understand the integration with Groupy. On initial assessment, I thought this was some sort of window manager (as the name seems to indicate) like Fancyzones but realized soon after it has nothing to do with that.

Windows version: 10.0.19042.685 Applications open - usually I close any open windows when I shutdown but for reference, I do have Displayfusion and Rainmeter installed that are always running if that is helpful.

I have recently installed and purchased Groupy (1.46) and am seeing this message each time I shutdown. Any way to troubleshoot what is causing this?

Is there a way to independently set the start menu color from the Win 10 accent color setting? At the moment the start menu stays the same as the taskbar color. I was hoping following this article it would work by changing the ColorPrevalence registry key setting but it seems Start10 ignores that. I want to set the start menu to black and keep my taskbar green.

Is there a way to reduce the size of the tiles/icons on the start bar so they don't take up as much room? Thanks.
