This is just one example of what you can do with Start11v2 with the Full Screen start menu. You can adjust the color backgrounds to all be the same, or each projects group a different color. These have a background texture added, but you can use a solid color. As I said above, it is very customizable.

First download the 2.5 installer, and then the 2.5.1.2 Beta Installer. Save them both on your C: drive somewhere. Now install the 2.5.1.2 Beta, and if you run into an issue, just uninstall it, and reinstall the 2.5 version again. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products
[quote who="JLJTGR" reply="32" id="3958857"] I mean, I think I share the same issue on my 2nd PC... but I never use that Windows feature to begin with so I never notice when it's not there. It had a clean install of Windows recently and the first version of Start11 it ever had was 2.49.2... seems to have the issue present in 2.51.2. [/quote] What issue are you referring to?
[quote who="Nikosyan" reply="30" id="3958848"] I have repeated the uninstall reboot procedure multiple times all the way through the diffent beta updates and it was a waste of time at every attempt. As I wrote I also tried with an older laptop, slightly older Windows version. Problem still remains and only with vertical taskbar. I am not a developer and don't have dozens of different systems to try it on, but on 2 different ones it does not work. I am certain the problem is not unique wi
You could try Start11v2 which offers a full screen start menu, in the Windows 10 style, on which you can arrange icons manually. You can also use the non-full page menu and create multiple pages. There are a lot of customization features in Start11v2 that allow you to create just the look you want. There is a 30-day trial available at https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/

[quote who="jeffw00" reply="2" id="3958817"] I would like to send you screenshots of the problem, and my Enhanced Taskbar settings, but I don't see a way to attach screenshots to the post. Can I email to you? [/quote]

You can create multiple pages of Fences, but I don't think they will switch automatically with virtual desktops. You switch Fence pages with the mouse or keyboard shortcuts. It's kind of like switching pages on a mobile phone. If you have a multi-monitor system, you can have different Fences on different monitors.

This has been fixed in the the latest Beta update 2.5.1.2 available on your account download page. https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products
The best you can do without a custom icon is to turn on "Force icons to use more of the tile area when not a custom tile image" in the Advanced options. Start Menu > Configure menu > Advanced options La meilleure solution que vous puissiez faire sans icône personnalisée est d'activer « Forcer les icônes à utiliser une plus grande partie de la zone de mosaïque lorsqu'il ne s'agit pas d'une image de mosaïque personnalisée » da
[quote who="spiderlech3377" reply="8" id="3958738"] Yes. No improvement. [/quote] The Beta is up to 2.5.1.2
When you click the overflow arrow of the System Tray to see the hidden icons, you can then drag them, one at a time, to the Tray so that they will always show. You can also accomplish this by using the Windows Taskbar settings > Other system tray icons, and turning them all on.
I searched the forum for this issue and found 4 or 5 posts where this issue was reported, but only one person reported back. They were able to get this working by creating a new user admin account. https://forums.stardock.com/526096/page/1/#3921309

Try using the Control Panel > Programs & Features, to remove Start11. If this doesn't work, try the Purge.bat as mentioned here. https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1349320730/Start+Menu+purging+and+re-installing Just don't reinstall it.

Pretty sure this is a known issue. You'll have to use either "Search icon only" or "Search icon and label" until they get it fixed. https://forums.stardock.com/533748/page/4/#92
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="18" id="3958580"] Unfortunately those newer style dialogs are not an exact replacement. They do not let you pick recycle bin or control panel for example. These are things customers sometimes want to pick. We have added in a registry key to make S11 use the newer style dialogs which does not have the issue that tool you used causes. This is optional and due to the above may always remai
[quote who="SimplexDesigns" reply="8" id="3958406"] Please forward this to them as a feature request, the small browse for folder is dated and annoying to use. Other modern apps out there use image #2 for most things now. [/quote] Thanks for requesting this feature. It has been added to 2.5.1.2 as a registry entry. ⦁ Use newer style Folder picker windows Add a New String Value key and name it S11_UseNewFolderBrowser set the Value data to 1 Create
[quote who="jimvaughan" reply="114" id="3958632"] That doesn't seem to do anything when the taskbar is horizontal, I want to center them horizontally. [/quote] Open Start11 Configuration app and click on "Start Button" in the left panel. Under "How would you like your taskbar configured," use the pull-down menu to choose you preferred alignment.
Added a registry key S11_UseNewFolderBrowser which when set to "1" will tell Start11 to use newer style Folder picker windows. This goes in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8 and is type string. This is a really great addition to Start11! Thanks [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Snacko" reply="1" id="3958475"] Also, is there a way to specify a certain tab group as the default when you Pin a New icon to the Start11 menu? [/quote] No, but if you right-click on a blank area of a Tab and select "New > Pin file...; Pin folder...; Pin website...; or Pin installed application..." the new pin will be made to this tab.
[quote who="m_hult2" reply="2" id="3958393"] Hi! Is there access to download the previous versions of Start11? Rationale: it should be possible to download and install previous versions, if it is desired by a customer. (Especially if it is a beta-release or if bugs are present). I was expecting previous versions being available at the download page, but I could not find it. Thank you and wishing you all a very nice day! <
This has been fixed and is available as 2.5.1.1. Fixed black icons in universal apps menu when using Win7 style and apply colour to taskbar/start in the OS https://forums.stardock.com/533880/page/1/
Fixes issue with start button positioning when you have no pinned items or running tasks I don't pin anything to my taskbar, so I am pleased you were able to find a solution. Thank you

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="5" id="3958418"] The 2.51 beta should be available on your downloads which may help. [/quote] You seem to have fixed the Start button bug with the vertical taskbar. Thanks.
