I think the spacing is necessary to accommodate touch devices, but yes, a compact mode setting for non-touch devices would be great.

Reply to Start11 Taskbar Pins in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Unfortunately there is not an option to compact the pace between listings, but there is a way to force a scrolling list instead of multiple menus. It is an approved and published Registry string. Stop Start11 making menus multi column and instead use a scrolling list Add a New String Value key and name it S11_AlwaysScrollMenus and set the Value data to 1 <

[quote who="Abisnabidam" reply="32" id="3987383"] Thanks for checking that. When I try it your way with the Current User path, it successfully disables the context menu- But, for whatever reasons is now causing some other instability and crashes. Please let us know if you get anything like that. And does it work for you the other way, under the Local Machine path? [/quote] I did notice that. It was screwing with DeskScapes, and caused Fences to crash.

How did you pin the Calculator to the Taskbar? The best way to pin an app to the Taskbar is to open the app, and then right-click the Taskbar icon and select "Pin to taskbar."

Reply to Fences 6.20 - Folder Portal sorting issue – folders always listed last when sorting by “Date Modified” in Fences Stardock Forums

[quote who="gabriel messika" reply="4" id="3986844"] yes, it is a OneDrive folder. Dates are in French format (DD/MM/YYYY), they are not in the future. So I understand there is no way to get a strict sorting by date (files or folders) for OneDrive folders ? [/quote] Now I get the dates. Thanks for clarifying the format. Take a look at this folder on you C: Drive. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Fences" and play around with the viewing and sorting opt

Reply to Feature Request: In Windows 10 Start Menu mode, allow pinned items to appear at bottom of section instead of top in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I use the Windows 10 style Start11 menu and what I have done is to add a page and create a group named NEW PINS. Whenever I pin a new app, file, folder, etc., I pin it to this group, and then resize, rename, change icon, etc. Now I can drag it to the group and the position where I want it. To drag this new pin to a different page, just drag it to the page identifier (dots) at the bottom of the menu. I know this is a workaround, but it makes adding item easier for me.
