Group Tab's Texture won't Stay Applied in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I'm not sure if this has been going on prior to Start11v2 - Beta 2.5.5.1, but the tab texture applied to the first tab in the first group, on the first page, on the Windows 10 style menu won't stay applied. After an indeterminate amount of time, from a few hours to a few days, the background texture will revert to no texture. None of the other tabs in this group or any other group exhibit this issue. Here is the settings info for the tab in question: Windows 11 Pro -22631.5771

Customizing the File Explorer Navigation Pane in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Make use of Empty folders to customize Quick Access in the File Explorer navigation pane. This works a little like my Taskbar Separators. Create NEW folders and name them as Section headers, and then give them a unique icon. You can use a different icon for each separator, or use the same icon for each. As an example, here's a pic of my Quick Access using a green star icon. Have FUN! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/

[quote who="Broth3rz1" reply="32" id="3977606"] So I'm confused now. He said he doesn't have the issue anymore with this beta version and you're saying it doesn't exist. I just want this problem gone. How can this still be an issue though? This is madness considering it's been over a year with many reports of the issue and it being reported many times over. Clearly they don't care about Groupy much. I can't wait for Groupy 3 with the same issue. [e digic

I thought you owned Groupy2. In Reply #10 you state “Of course this is still an issue with the new 2.20 update.” Did you purchase Groupy2 using a different email address? Or do you have a subscription to Object Desktop?

[quote who="tvjerry" reply="57" id="3977476"] Got the new version and my computer is Windows 11 24H2 (OS Build 26100.4946). The folders and icons are much smaller now and I can't figure out how to make them back to the larger size. I can send a screen grab to the moderator,but didn't want to post it here for everyone to see.

Reply to Star11 V2 simply did not work in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

It can sometimes be tricky installing version 2 over version 1. There's a lot that can go wrong in the Registry if things don't go as expected. It's important when attempting this method to restart your computer prior to the install, and then rebooting immediately following the install completion. Glad you got it working. Start11v2 has many more options. There is a little bit of a learning curve when it comes to the Configuration app, but it's worth the time to explore and try new thi

They believe the future of Windows will be users communicating and controlling their PC's by talking with them (like on Star Trek). They hope to achieve this by 2030. I'm with you. I am hopi

Reply to Spotify blue Chrome icon on Taskbar - how to restore Spotify icon? in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote who="parunels" reply="10" id="3977081"] I too, noticed the same issue. And I just noticed it clearly this morning. With that issue also, it is difficult to find your opened up Spotify app on the taskbar. until you realize that it morphed into a blue Chrome icon. Glad it has been reproduced, as when opened up, it displays a blue chrome icon, but when closed, it reverts back to the original green icon, as it should. Before I looked this up, I told myself, no way, not acc

[quote who="3java3z" reply="2" id="3977005"] Speaking about Windows, after a possible update, I have noticed my taskbar flyout Calendar no longer has the bottom part where you can see any appointments that you have, along with weather info. Unless I changed a setting somehow accidentally. I have tinkered with the settings and cannot bring it back to what it was. Curious. I could be wrong but I think Microsoft did something to mess it up. I don't like it. But then that's Microsoft for you

Thank you, Stardock Team for your Dedication in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Well, a lot of time has passed since the “Great Stardock Crash of ‘25” back in March, and things seem to be rolling along smoothly now. It’s high time the Stardock Community recognizes all the long hours, days, and weeks put in by the Stardock team. It was a tumultuous time for everyone involved. Starting from scratch with an offsite backup, the Stardock team rebuilt the entire site. At one point the team wasn’t sure if WinCustomize would survive. It was touch an

Not sure what style you're using, but Start11 should be listed in the All Apps section of the start menu in the Stardock folder. Also if you right-click on any style start11 menu there is an option to Configure Start11.
