Reply to Isolate New Sticky Notes from OneNote in Groupy Stardock Forums

I am able to open Sticky Notes without opening OneNote using the shortcut you show in your post. If you open Sticky Notes (new) before opening OneNote, it won't be grouped with OneNote. If you open Sticky Notes (new) using your shortcut after OneNote is already open, it will always group with OneNote (changing the size of the window to the Sticky Notes window size). You can also use the suggestion from Basj, but you will have manually group your OneNote windows. <

Try going to the Blocked tab and see what actions are available for the process you blocked. Also go to the Task manager and see if you can Restart the Microsoft Edge process.

Reply to Creating Start Button graphic leveraging windows highlight color? in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

There are three sizes of the Default Start button; small, medium, and large. You will need to click the "Pick image" button on the Start button tab in order to access them. However, there is only one size for the Start11 logo button. The color of the top, left square on the Default button and the background of the Open state are determined by the Start11 menu color. I'm not sure how to create a new button which uses the chosen Start11 menu color, but would be interested in how it's do

Reply to Pinned group disappeared in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Check the "Control" section of the config app. There should be a setting to "Pin Windows menu shortcut on Start11 menu." If you continue to have issues, you may need to consider uninstalling and then reinstalling from a fresh download of the most recent installer from you Account download page. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products

Just to be sure... You could have accidentally moved the group to a new page. How many pages are shown at the bottom of your Start11 menu? This image shows that I have two pages (two dots).

Reply to How to Enable Vertical Taskbars in Windows 11 in Start News Stardock Forums

In addition to what Brad says above, Start11v2 provides a tremendous number of options and configurations to make your Start menu truly unique. I use the Windows 10 style menu with many of the features customized to my liking. I like to keep my desktop clear, in order to display artistic backgrounds, so the Start11 menu is my jumping off point to everything on my system. Here is an image of my Start11 menu using groups, tabs, transparency, custom icons and colors, as well as, textures to crea

[quote who="garfield_the_cat" reply="1" id="3983179"] I like the looks of many dark skins, but when I do actual work with a lot of office documents, light themes are more comfortable to use for me. [/quote] I agree. Many of the dark themes look awesome, however, it's been shown in many studies that black type on a light background is easier to read and less stressful than white type on a dark background. As an older person with aging eyes, I stick to the light themes with mo

Reply to My Object Desktop Renewal in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Not sure why you would wan to purchase Fences 6 since you have 5 active installs with OD, and you say you are planning to renew in March. Anyway, purchasing a permanent license for Fences 6 shouldn't effect the cost of your OD renewal.
