There is a placeholder where the All Apps text was removed from the Windows 10 style menu, that highlights and when clicked opens the "rolodex" listing. Windows 11 Pro - 22635.4660; Start11v2 - 2.5.0.0
The custom start button flicker has been resolved, but if you don't have an app open or pinned to the taskbar, the default Windows 11 start button is used. If you hide the start button on Primary monitor, if you don't have an app open or pinned to the taskbar, the default Windows start button is displayed, but does not work. If an app is open or pinned to the taskbar, the start button is hidden. There seems to be an issue related to whether an app is open or pinned to the task

[quote who="PhoenixRising1" reply="72" id="3957374"] Quoting sdrohan, reply 1 *In my opinion; this update is s superior version of taskbar size. Maybe even it could replace taskbar size altogether to streamline a little? *Also, could "custom" start buttons resize with icon size at all or is that a limitation? [/quote]</p
Did you try restarting explorer after changing the icon?
Open the folder you want to search and use the explorer search box. This should let you search for properties and file contents. This assumes you have the advanced Indexing Options set correctly.

[quote who="pelaird" reply="11" id="3957201"] I remember seeing this issue reported before, but for the life of me, I can't remember what the solution was. Maybe a detailed search can find the thread. [/quote] I found the thread, but I don't think it will help. It involved the user bricking his computer when attempting a clean boot. He ended up wiping his drive, reinstalling the OS and then Deskscapes which worked correctly. It also involved an upgrade from 23H2 to 2

Can you imagine how long it would take to search your entire drive for content in files, even if it’s only in a few file types. It makes more sense to use the Explorer search so you can limit the search.
[quote who="basj" reply="1" id="3957112"] Hello, Sorry to hear you are having issues. How do one actually search for file content from Default Windows Start panel? I am struggling to test this one. Thank you. Basj, Stardock Community Assistant. [/quote] Check out this Microsoft Support article. https://support.microsoft.
It looks like there is not enough room for two columns and so the Start11 is defaulting to a scrolling menu. If you reduce the size of the grid area to say six icons wide, is there room for two columns?

[quote who="PhoenixRising1" reply="46" id="3957036"] Quoting pelaird, reply 45 Is this what the new Registry settings represent? This is correct. And I believe my sizing chart in reply 40 is at least somewhat accurate. For example, for icon size; any value below 24 will be smaller a
Is this what the new Registry settings represent?
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="43" id="3957030"] The values are in pixels (before OS scaling). You can save time with changes by just opening the config and changing pretty much any setting. The taskbar blur option is a good choice. [/quote] What about the issue in Reply#37? Also, what exactly does each setting control?

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="5" id="3957015"] The latest Start11 beta that came out yesterday adds in control over icon size, button height and width via registry keys. Change log notes have the details. [/quote] It's not clear in the description how the Data Values should be entered.
There is a section on the right side of each page of the Config app that is missing, like an invisible overlay. The cut-out stays in the same place as the window is scrolled. EDIT: I had created a Restore Point before installing 2.4.9.4, so I reverted back to 2.4.9.3 using the RP, everything in the Config app was back to the expected behavior. I then Uninstalled 2.4.9.3, and installed 2.4.9.4, and the same issue appeared again. It doesn't make the app unusable

On privacy and device fingerprinting. It's unfortunate, but it seems to be the way of the future. I'm sure some of the Web browsers, who are dedicated to privacy, will come up with ways to make your device look more generic or less likely to be unique. Also, we can use other search engines that are dedicated to privacy, such as DuckDuckGo. One thing I have noticed about the younger generation, is that they are more willing to give up privacy for convenience. I have two adult c
