Feature request for Windows 11 / windows pro / ect. Styles Ability to stretch an icon outside their current parameters and have it go further into the tile space. This would be useful in two ways. 1. A little outside the parameters When using custom icon images as sometimes the weirder shaped icons can turn out pretty small under the current parameters. 2. If the text is turned off on the tile then even more space could be used just for the icon instead.
[quote who="Jafo" reply="40" id="3907737"] If Win 12 is soon to come out that will mean I will have totally missed an OS [11] and that'll be the first of all of them that I simply didn't bother with since the days of Dos...[e digicons];)[/e] [/quote] It is interesting how common this is.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="33" id="3907689"] Windows12 will be coming all too soon for $$ reasons. It will probably need a Start12 of its own, WB12 and SkS12, as well...if it'll be possible to skin it at all. [/quote] Hello Doc, I do share some of your concerns here. I believe that after the holidays end, which is only in two months we could potentially see Windows 12 beta suddenly surface. I do not suspect we will have very much advanced warning when Windows 12 wil
[quote who="naroon1" reply="29" id="3907613"] I have been using StartAllBack now for a few years and find it a Brilliant Theming tool, the devs have included a function to have the taskbar top, bottom, left and right from the beginning , but each time i move the taskbar, my old brain can not get my head around the new position, so i always move it back again. It does seem like many users did expect this function to be in V2, I am just glad i have the ability to use both

[quote who="djMot" reply="157" id="3907632"] But I got my 'installer' through OD, not a direct installer download, and OD is not offering an update. When I request an email with Product Keys, it lists OD, but not Start 11. [/quote] It has been a while since I have used OD so I do not know the exact location. But somewhere in settings there is an option that needs to be clicked to say you want to accept beta releases. I do not believe that is active by default. version 2.002

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="23" id="3907513"] I agree. I'm not advocating StartAllBack. If he wants the vertical taskbar so badly...fine. I don't feel the need, myself. MS took it away...the 'why' is beyond me. [/quote] It is because Microsoft felt the need to completely scrap their working taskbar in Windows 10 and build a new one from the ground up on Windows 11. I do not fully understand the complexity that goes into building a new taskbar but I do know that Micorsoft has
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="21" id="3907502"] Re a vertical task bar, found this for you: [/quote] Doc, StartAllBack and Start 11 v2 will never be able to be friends, The 2 programs will never work together. For anyone that wants to use the verticle taskbar, explorerpatcher and start 11 are the best combo. Basically explorerpatcher does the same thing startallback does with the taskbar BUT you dont get stuck with a Windows 7 menu. I think there is a pretty strong consensus th
Do you by any chance have explorer patcher installed? I ask because this is a common issue when using explorer patcher and a Windows update breaks it which in turn causes start 11 to no longer work.
[quote who="Sean39" reply="15" id="3907365"] Would you be able to give different icons / labels for custom locations? For example, if I were to make a "Work" folder that I'd like to have next to the other Personal folder shortcuts (Documents, Downloads, Music, etc), it's have the same icon as the Documents folder. If I were to hover over its icon, it'd display its long address instead of just the folder name. [/quote] Yes, this is actually one of my favorite changes asi
I disagree about any amount of greed linked to version 2's release. I have had start 11 running on my Windows 11 device ever since start 11 version 1 released its first beta. I feel pretty confident saying that of all stardocks software ever released that start 11 version one had by far the longest window of active development and active changes. Start 11 really has grown a lot and a lot of resources were spent on it. This is crazy because start 11 is also their cheapest software. Eve
Start 11 requires you to hold the [shift] key while you drag an icon in order to create a folder. This was a design choice by Stardock in order to avoid accidental folders from being created.
I love having the ability to [hide user name and icon] in [Windows pro style] however when this option is applied the right hand side list vanishes pretty high up near the power button. edit- The option [hide search bar unless searching] applied in [Windows pro style] also slightly moves up the right hand side's vanishing list point. It is harder t
[quote who="Narusegawa Naru" reply="5" id="3906922"] Something like Start v1,v2, .. You could even include the window version like Start v11.2, for win12 v12.1. [/quote] I kind of like the name Start11IsBack for version 2 😅
[quote who="darkstorm46870" reply="6" id="3906923"] How long? We know, that after multiple Microsoft Win11 updates in the past the app was not only one time partially broken and required fixes. [/quote] Start 11 version 1 works well with the 23H2 update. The next big update from Microsoft will be none other then Windows 12 so Windows 11 changes are about to slow down big time.

[quote who="iPooped" reply="24" id="3906880"] You realise how many licenses I’ve got for Stardock products? Is that the best comeback you have? I’m not the only one unhappy nor am I the only one moving to StartAllBack. I predict there will be more unhappy people. I have a right to be unhappy. But thanks for trying.

A couple of bugs 1. The option to [hide search bar unless searching] is not working on the new start menu styles 2. Changing pages via the mouse wheel now requires the start menu to be at a certain height (i.e. it cant be short in height) in order to switch pages even with blank space on the menu. A couple of suggestions I would like to see some more customization on the [windows pro style] 1. The folder on the side is great. But is also a little wide f
Diving into Start 11 version 2 I can say that this is in fact a significant upgrade. I am really glad to see Stardock innovate the start menu here as I have always wanted to see how someone besides Microsoft would construct one. So far the Windows Pro style feels like the start menu I was wanting all along. There seems to be quite a bit of new customization's that will take me a while to dive into before I even realize the full scope of what was released. This is definitely the direction Star
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="2" id="3906798"] I think you will find it is a significantly upgraded/different product. We could have named it Start12 but given the OS name is Windows 11 it would have caused confusion. [/quote] First off, I really do love the new start menu styles a lot. Good work! Question; Are you guy's hoping to get this version working on Windows 12 once that OS launches?

[quote who="pelaird" reply="6" id="3906431"] As I said, I was on the Insider Release Preview channel for windows 10. The version of Windows 11 that was installed is the Insider Developer channel, 23570.1000ni version of Windows 11. [/quote] I have several thoughts on this. 1. It may be possible that the DEV channel is currently trialing your CPU for windows 11 and they may be wanting people to beta test it further before they release it, potentially with the release

I cant find anything about your cpu being officially supported. But I did find that Microsoft occasionally quietly adds more cpu's to the list of compatibility particularly with the moment updates. It is possible they did this for the recent moment 4 update and haven't yet listed all the new cpu's? This is only a guess of course. The Intel® Core™ i7-7700K CPU is TPM 2.0 compatible and is very Windows 11 capable so I wouldn't be very surprised to see it added to a compatibili
