[quote who="carymcreynolds" reply="6" id="3838475"] Thanks. Interestingly, I can get it group two windows together when I click on a PDF to open it, but then the third will open in a separate window. I cannot get it to let me drag one window over the other to group, checked the settings and set to allow and works for other apps. Any special settings you are using?

[quote quoting="post"] Love Groupy, but does not seem to work with Abbyy Finereader 15 (pdf utility like Acrobat Pro). Abbyy never shows an option to group and I cannot see any way to force Abbyy to load Groupy or allow it run. Any suggestions, as being able to have tabbed windows in Abbyy as opposed to 5 different windows open is the only thing that stands between me an finally being able to get free of Acrobat (which just gets more expensive, but not better)?

In the current Beta of DeskScapes (10.96), when you delete a Dream there remains a placeholder in the Recent Backgrounds section. I know where these are stored in the Registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Deskscapes\Deskscapes10\Recent), but I would suggest the corresponding Recent entries should be deleted when Dreams are deleted. Thanks

Great Work! These options make customizing the Start Menu near perfect. Added refresh icons option to Win10/11 menus to refresh icons should the user have changed icons via a tile editing app or due to OS icon cache changes. No more restarting Windows Explorer to effect the changes made in the editing app. Win10/Win11 styles now offer a right-click Icon submenu that lets you easily change the

Installed DeskScapes 11 (Beta 5) today. A little learning curve on the UI, but overall very nice. I really like the Desktop Info Panel, but we need a setting for 12 Hour time and full date without the CPU and Memory usage monitors. Maybe a separate setting for 12 or 24 Hour time, and then options for Time and Date settings. Thanks Windows 10 ver. 19044.1387, DeskScapes 11 Beta 5

Just wanted to report that the Advanced Option to Load custom static tile images on the Windows 10 Style start menu seems to working fine on Windows 10 (ver. 19044.1387) using TileIconifier (ver. 3.1.1.2) to create the custom tiles.

I was pleasantly surprised with the new Advanced Options in the Start 11 Windows 10 Style menu. * Force icons to use more area * Use Windows 11 menu style icons * Use a more faded background for tiles These are features I have been wishing were available for a while. Thanks you!

I am running Windows 10 ver. 19044.1348 / Start 11 ver. 1.0 / IconPackger ver. 10.0.3.0 I have replaced all the system Icons with the Windows 11 Icons using IconPackager. Folder Icons in the All Apps List in Start 11 on the Windows 10 Style Start Menu don't respect the changes made with IconPackager. However, folders nested inside these All Apps List folders do respect the IconPackager changes. See pic below. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/

When using Window 10 Style on Windows 10 (19044.1320) there are a couple if items that I would like to see improved. 1) When you click on a Letter in the All Apps column, the resulting key is shown at the top of the column instead of centered in the column like windows 10. This requires a change in muscle memory and further mouse travel. 2) It would be great to be able to adjust the size of the icon inside the tile similar to TileIconifer. This would allow a more compact menu
