[quote who="Horste" reply="93" id="3927225"] In addition to my previous reports, I found a new serious problem. Entries in the Taskbar Tray don't show their context menu on right click, regardless of the Taskbar enhancement settings. I give up now and stop the evaluation. I had no such major flaws or problems using StartAllBack. ______________________________________________________ Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3374)<br

Thank you Jan. I'm still laughing at this image you created a while back. I have it in my Downloads folder, and every time I open it, I see it, and it makes me smile. pelaird

In Start11v2, if you set a pined folder to "Open as folder menu," there needs to be an easier way to access a folder within this Folder Menu. As it is now, you have to right-click the folder and then select "Open." If there was a way to allow a double-click or a modifier key+click to open a folder within a Folder menu, that would be an awesome improvement. Thanks for considering this feature request.

Try what Jan suggested and if that doesn't work, try the instructions below. Try this and see if you can get a Windows cursor going. Press the Win key on your keyboard, and then start typing to search. Enter "Control" and the Control panel should be in the results. Use the arrow keys to navigate and open the Control Panel. Once there. use the tab key to get down to the control panels and then the arrow key to navigate to "Mouse," and press enter. Once the "Mous

Just to clarify, If you are on Windows 10, the OS supports bottom, left, top, and right taskbars. It is not a function of Start11. However, if you use the enhanced taskbar of Start11, it does not support left or right taskbars, but does support top and bottom taskbars. If you are on Windows 11, the OS only supports bottom taskbars. The Start11 enhanced taskbar supports top and bottom taskbars. So the answer is yes to left taskbar if you are on Windows 10, and no if you

[quote who="Frank Kolb" reply="3" id="3927094"] I use True Launch bar (3.Party-Program) also. Does someone know if that works with Start 11 now? [/quote] Not sure on that one, but you could try ObjectDock 3 which I know is compatible with Start11. There is a FREE trial. I've been using it since it was released for this very purpose. If you have a subscription to ObjectDesktop, you can install it from there. Check it out&nb

Need some way to entice users who need help with a Stardock product to include the product name and full version number, as well as, their full Windows version and OS build in the post. It seems like the first reply to an OP is usually asking what product version and what Windows version they are using. I suggested something a long time ago about adding some verbiage to the header by the New Topic button requesting this info. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/28/6928565/f55d

"Microsoft once experimented with a feature that allowed you to group different Office files into one. Called Microsoft Binder, the app was part of Microsoft Office 95, 97, and 2000. However, its complexity led to low usage among users, and the company was forced to discontinue it in Office XP." from Neowin 04/07/2024 Looks like Stardock picked up the slack and created many, great new file and app organization utilities. I wonder if this is where Brad got his

I'm not exactly sure how you are getting the context (or flyout) menu color in your screenshot. The default for this menu is a translucent black. To change the Context (Flyout) menu color: Open RegEdit (Win+R and then type regedit and hit enter). Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.i

[quote who="PhoenixRising1" reply="2" id="3926873"] I had to look this one up because Microsoft has not released 24h2 at all yet. It does appear there is a leaked version in circulation. I'm not sure I want to install it, but am curious what 24h2 actually has? @Niel start 11 is also the better product so nothing to worry about [e digicons]B)[/e] [/quote] 24H2 is the next version of Windows 11 which will be released in September or October of this year

Perhaps this is where you saw the hide reference. If you right click and app in the All Apps list and select More>Hide from apps, this will put this app in the Hidden items list. To show the Hidden items list, right click an app in the All Apps list and select "Show hidden items list." <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/28/6928565/e5737f1

"Users recently noticed that third-party apps for customizing the user interface no longer work in the upcoming Windows 11 version 24H2 .

I use ObjectDock 3 to accomplish this. There is a Recycle Bin Docklet which I use in a dock by itself and set the transparency to 100%. It works really well with my custom icons, and you can adjust the size.
