Still unsolved.

Which style is that with what settings exactly?

Windows Launcher, Username and -icon set to hide (I think, that is the problem). I would prefer the shutdown icon on the bottom, also.

Really minor issues though, V2 is fantastic!



Note the Rustdesk icon being huge although it is set to 'middle' as the other icons. That is, because the groups have titles and increase the height of the row, I guess.

It 'behaves' when dropped to another tab.

That would seem to be working correctly.  Icons have to be a multiple of the smallest line.  So adding text means the lines are taller so one thats 2x the height will now be taller.

The resizing looks pretty good with the Windows 10 theme. But I feel the sizing scheme on the Windows 11 themes increases a bit too much regardless of if text is used or not for the icons. Going from small to medium is a pretty big jump in size for the menu style.

Thats because there needs to be two lines of text.  Unfortunately things have to be a multiple of the lines so it is what it is.

🚨We have a new build that we believe will address some of the issues brought up in this feedback thread including:🚨

1) Reduced a flicker when minimizing/restoring a window from the taskbar using the mouse

2) Resolved sub menus showing on popup folder menus being shifted too far right on Win11 setups

3) Tweak to extra control panel item showing

4) Resolved issue with rounded taskbar causing clipped taskbars on the primary monitor when using a touch-capable device with Win11 22H2 or later

5) Resolved issue with taskbar offsets on the secondary monitor without enhanced taskbar enabled not working correctly

6) Tweaked shutdown menu to stop list under it taking focus sometimes

7) Resolved issue with Win7/Modern style jumplists sometimes showing each item too small after switching menu modes

8) Resolved all apps / steam apps list not working from a pinned taskbar folder if you are using the Win7/Modern menu styles

9) Resolved issue with sub menus showing far left of the screen when they would not fit next to the open menu on multi column menus

10) Resolved issue with new Start11 autohide taskbar mode triggering too far from the bottom of the screen vs the primary

11) Resolved issue with Win 7/modern menu with Win10 style all apps tree not having Show Recently installed and suggested apps not refreshing the list instantly

12) Resolved issue with right-hand list on start menu flickering over search results during animation to switch to search mode sometimes with Win 7/modern menu styles

13) Resolved issue with leftover tooltip after launching an app from the menu if the tooltip was visible at the time

14) Resolved Win Launcher menu style when hiding search and username causing shutdown to overlap contents of the list

This build is out of our normal testing workflow and may have more bugs or unforeseen issues because of limited testing. This is our standard boilerplate warning for all out-of-band releases.

The text colour is.  Brad Sams didn't include everything in the change list it seems.

I would recommend trying it out.

Guess I downloaded the same version on the Stardock site Neil. I did not really see the download link on BradSams post. I will install the new version and see what happens now.

All is well now, thanks!

Ist the download-link gone already?

Nevermind, it's only very tiny.

It is at the bottom of reply 44.  

Yeah!

Start11 v.2.06    Windows version: W11 pro  23H2  22631.2506

The right clik on the windows button not work properly in Windows 11 style for open de menu window. 

The menu is weak and flickers, making it unusable, and its necessary click on the task bar previously for open correctly.

In addition, the mouse pointer over the windows icon not opens the Start11 menu.

After install v2.10 the issues has not been resolved.

Does this also work on Windows 10? I click on rounded task bar but nothing changes. I updated to version 2

Hello,
Yes, it does for for me.

Thanks

Thanks so it should work. I did check all the boxes, but nothing changes.

Maybe you have some other application interfering with Start11.

Thank you,

Are you using an autohide taskbar?

Hi Group - The upgrade price wasn't bad, but the real reason I wanted v2 is to get the Pinned Folders.

In the Beta, 2-column Pinned folders (a folder with enough files that it needs 2 columns to display) was being displayed halfway off the top of the screen.  That part has been fixed.  A couple of problems still exist, however.

1. A 2-column Pinned folder displays at the top of the screen.  It is all visible, but stuck to the top.
2. 2-column Pinned folders are still row ordered (left to right), rather than column-ordered.  A toggle to change from row- to column-ordered would be nice.  Windows does everything in columns...
3. All flavors of Pinned folders use some sort of automation that makes them scroll up from the bottom when you click on the folder.  It is noticeably slow, and would be nice if there was a toggle to turn off the automation.
4. If I had to choose between the automation and the 2-column ordering, I would choose to change to column-ordered.

My Start icons seem to change sizes, sort of at will.  Right now, they are small, though yesterday (rebooted last evening) they were larger.  I haven't changed any settings.  There is also space for another column of icons - which also seems to come and go.

I really like the Start menu background colors and patterns.  And the Taskbar patterns.

Well, comment gremlins ate the comment I posted earlier (unless one of the Stardock folks can find it...).

In essence, it was:

I was glad to switch to v2, because I use the Pinned Folder feature.  It started out missing the top half of a 2-column folder, but that has been fixed.

However, there are still a couple of issues:

1. A Pinned folder that has enough files to require more than 1 column (really, I've only seen 2 columns) is anchored against the top of the monitor, not at the bottom (like a single column).  All of the items are there, but it's at the top
2. All of the Pinned folders use some automation (maybe?) that causes the menu to 'roll up', like pulling up a projection screen.  While cool and really nifty, it slows down the menu enough to be obvious (click folder, wait, click selection).  Would be nice to have a toggle in Setup that could turn off the automation.
3. The order of items in a 2-column menu (1+ columns) is by row.  Windows uses column-ordered lists.  Would be nice to have a toggle that could switch between row- and column ordering.
4. If I had to choose, I would choose column-ordering and keeping the up-scroll.

I've also had some odd behavior with the appearance of the Start Menu.  Earlier today, it looked like this:

Yesterday, and since I restarted a few minutes ago, it looks like this:

I've not made any changes to any Start11 settings, that I am aware of.  Also, automatic updates are turned off.

Finally, there is some odd behavior when right-clicking the Start button - the menu pops then disappears.  Clicking one of the folder menus, then trying the Start again seems to cure the problem.  Maybe the Event handling is not exactly right?

I really like the Start background, also the Taskbar background.

And now, I'll try Posting again!
