Launch 8 won't play nicely with Start 8

July 28, 2014 9:11 AM from

Hey, guys, and thanks for awesome products. I've subscribed to the object desktop and I'm happy so far.

However, when I launch the start menu (Start 8, windows 8 start menu set to 'wide') the Start8 dock flickers and only appears for less than half a second.

What gives?

Thanks in advance!

Launch8 is intended to show only with a fullscreen start menu. It is intentionally hiding itself when the start menu is in any other configuration.

Aw, man. It'd be nice as hell to have a set of icons at the bottom for like a shutdown button etc.

Any way to bypass that setting?

Have you tried right clicking the start button and choosing shutdown?
