[quote who="thomas5" reply="28" id="3958329"] Tried it, no change. After some time, taskbar is not clickable anymore (looks like it's freezed) on both side monitors, works only on my main monitor. When I hover a bit over the the icon on the side monitors, sometimes preview appears and then the button is getting active again. Or I click on my other side monitor, the freeze is gone also for some time. [/quote] There is a 2.51 beta available now which should address this.

[quote who="ECNB" reply="67" id="3958330"] Downloaded and installed V2.5 yesterday. I can move taskbar to the top of screen but neither right nor left is working for me. Windows 11, 24H2 not installed, 3840x2160 resolution on laptop, same for monitor. Anything I'm missing here.

[quote who="Neil_N" reply="99" id="3958319"] The test build looks to have resolved the GadgetPack issue. Before I update my main computer from v2.11, is there any reason why the fix wouldn't work with a multi-monitor setup? I don't have a v2.11 install file to back to [insert standard grumble about Stardock practices here]. [/quote] I would hold off as I think we are going to do a proper update with some other tweaks.

Reply to Start11 V2: Some program icons replaced by standard icons in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="jecar1" reply="17" id="3958307"] This began occurring for me with the latest update. SOME program icons change when the apps are opened and it occurs whether the original program icon was changed or not. Neither changing the icon nor restarting Explorer helps: The icon on the task bar changes when the app is opened and reverts back when it is closed. This did not occur with the build before this. It's damned annoying is what it is. Not your finest hour, Stardock.&n

Swiping from the bottom of the screen should show the Start11 menu already. What version of Start11 are you using? Likewise rotating the screen with a fullscreen menu looks to be correct?

[quote who="wrongform" reply="94" id="3958205"] Right-Click on Taskbar Icons Not Working at Top Position After Latest Update. After the latest update (January 17), I noticed that right-clicking on taskbar icons no longer works when the taskbar is positioned at the top of the screen . This is the main reason I purchased Start11, so it’s frustrating that this functionality is now broken. Right-click works fine when the taskbar is at the bottom or

[quote who="wmoore118" reply="59" id="3958040"] When using either the left or right vertical task bar, there is no longer a search icon. The pictures also don't show the search icon, not sure why this was left out. When a taskbar item is active, it is underlined on the taskbar, no indication of active apps on vertical taskbar. I'll just stay with the bottom taskbar, disappointed. [/quote] You should be able to have a search icon. You c
