Reply to Can we put the taskbar along the left side of the screen with Start11? in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote] I know this feature was not in Start11 v1, hence why I ended up abandoning that software. Is this a feature in v2, or one that we can expect at some point in the future? [/quote] What did you end up doing rather then use start 11. Vanilla Windows 11? If not, Start 11 v2 has actually improved on its ability to work with other 3rd party software.

Reply to Windows 11, Version 24H2. in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

As stated by the developer, Start 11 will not be affected by the 24h2 update. From what I can tell only apps that use window 10 parts, such as explorerpatcher and startallback, will be affected by this update. So if by chance you are using explorerpatcher with start 11 then explorerpatcher will break it during the update. Otherwise you are good to go

I would like to add that fences 2 - 4 seem to gave been removed from the OD download options even if you resubscribe. However, resubscribing to your classic OD subscription is still probably the best way to get Fences 5 on your PC. A general rule of thumb for OD software is to save the installers on your pc somewhere so you will always have them when you need them

Reply to Fences 5 New Subsription SOFTWARE in Fences Stardock Forums

I think the core issues all started when start 11 v2 was released. Even though Start 11 v2 actually stayed in the framework and pricing Stardock had used for years, people still complained about that release as well. I even actually saw a few people state that start 11 v2 should be a subscription because they don't want to have to pay for the next version every time it is released. I never actually agreed with these people as I actually think Start 11 v2 is the right way of doing software. Bu

For as long as I can remember, software and games have struggled finding their way on Apple devices unless they are meant to be part of the apple ecosystem. This isn't a problem that is unique to how stardock does business.

edit - just realized 26100 was released on the dev channel, leaked a couple days earlier. I didn't know that was 24h2 preview. Is it worth it?

Reply to Microsoft blocks even more customization apps in Windows 11 version 24H2 in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

I had to look this one up because Microsoft has not released 24h2 at all yet. It does appear there is a leaked version in circulation. I'm not sure I want to install it, but am curious what 24h2 actually has? @Niel start 11 is also the better product so nothing to worry about [e digicons]B)[/e]

For anyone that has ever asked for Fences / Start 11 to become a subscription AND never actually subscribed to Object Desktop should have be disqualified from this request.

[quote who="sdrohan" reply="4" id="3926612"] Fences 4, that was an active version of Fences when your sub was active will function and activate until the sun explodes. [/quote] I am disappointed that Fences 4 will not work once the sun explodes. This was not clear in the ula agreement. I mean if we do end up being able to colonize another solar system what is the point of life if we cant run Fences 4?

Reply to start11 in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

You may need to rebuild your start menu, but it may be worth it long term anyways. Start 11 v2 offers several features such as tabs and multiple pages. Personally, I find my start menu deviating a bit from what I would use from a traditional windows 10 / 11 version. When I migrated to Windows 11 from Windows 10 I disliked the new native start menu for various reasons. I don't think I would be as happy on Windows 11 without start 11. I think the most sensible option for you wou

Reply to Start11 and ObjectDock in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

[quote]does anyone have any thoughts about using them together? Or is it better to regard them as completely independent? [/quote] I am willing to bet object dock could be used two ways for two different types of users. 1. It replaces the traditional taskbar. In this case start 11 and object dock would benefit from closer ties with things such as the start menu. However things like notification area are not yet incorporated. or 2. The way I prefer to use i

Reply to where to buy Fences 5 at highest discount ? in Fences Stardock Forums

Math does not favor the permanent license model with Fences unfortunately. Unless you plan on upgrading Fences every 5 years (7.99 per year takes about 4 years to equal the 30 dollar permanent license cost). The cheapest way to get to Fences 5 is actually going to be with the subscription model.

[quote who="sdrohan" reply="5" id="3925512"] 'Within my Fence' is a bit out of the scope of this Alpha test. The goal here is to see that icons on the Desktop (outside of a Fences), and the Fences themselves, behave in an expected \ desirable manner when monitors, connection types (HDMI, DVI, etc), resolutions, and scaling change. As for your issue, try setting all Fences sorts to 'Name' and 'maintain sorting' [/quote] I am not seeing any of those new sorting rule

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="18" id="3925441"] I suspect it is the 125% scaling. Non integer scaling is prone to small differences in rounding behaviour. [/quote] Neil, you are correct 125% scale is in fact the issue. Issue persists @ 120 - 125% scale but the issue is actually fixed at the custom scale of 126% Not too bad of a change for me. I am glad you figured out the issue. It was driving me crazy

Happy to note that no new issues were found in this build. Unfortunately, I only have one monitor so I am not able to test multi monitor use. I will gladly keep testing the alpha's as they are released.
