Thumbnails Thumbnails are shown after ExtendedUIHoverTime (default hover time) Thumbnails are used when there are less than NumThumbnails (16) tasks Thumbnails are sized according to display aspect ratio no bigger than MaxThumbSizePx (200) Hover thumbnails should close if any key is pressed Click to activate window; press-and-move to rearrange Right-click for system menu Close with red button or middle-button click Window tabs (IE? VMWare?): active tab, tab order/switching/thumbnails Thumbnail toolbars: lot of rarely used behaviors; special media toolbars for UWP apps Snap groups: activation, closing, group context menu Window sharing (webex/Teams): not for groups or tabs Hover for Aero Peek: shows if DisablePreviewWindow(0) is not 0 after ThumbnailLivePreviewHoverTime(250) initial hover Keyboard: Win+{number}: same as click with one-window button; switch between tasks while help Alt+Win+{number}: show jumplist Shift+Win+{number}: launch new apps instance Win+(Shift)+T, F6/Tab/keyboard arrows/space/enter: navigate between icons and thumbnails Accessibility: Narrator / automation Misc: Drop file over icon / thumbnail to activate window Animations: open/close, collapse/expand, hover, launch feedback, added to group, flashing, progress bar, move from icons to thumbnails Taskbar on virtual desktop switching animation (unfinished) Fullscreen classic / uwp app behavior Tooltips

"Taskbar2" is new StartAllBack (partially) recreated taskbar prototype. It's not a product and is for testing only. Task buttons: - Better: ungrouped icons are pixel-perfect if possible - Different: does not depend on immersive shell / shows faster - Different: no horizontal 1px padding; no drag&drop to pin to apps Thumbnails: - Better: can be rearranged with drag and drop - Different: list of windows overflows into multiple columns, not scrolling - Different: animation, Win7 design, Snap Groups / Window sharing / Toolbar design Alpha Milestone 1 limitations: - No multi-monitor taskbars - No perks (centered, segmented ex.) - Still totally depends on classic taskbar code Those to be researched later. Expect major degradations or never shipping at all. Please stay strictly on topic. Do regression testing (compare with existing classic taskbar) Judgment Day: http://startisback.com/T2.exe

You'll notice when/if SAB reimplements taskbar.

No, some weirdos like it very much.

Yeah jumplist drag invocation can bug like that.

Do you have other customization software like Fences?

That's right, 1px top or bottom is cut

I don't think any kind of speculation can help. Google human contacts can though.

No, there's nothing. AI has determined app as 'potentially unwanted software' and there's no way to appeal.

@Ups that how taskbar works. Window activation and taskbar click are asynchronous actions, that behavior is to be expected. Russian website is clearly visible on https://www.startisback.com

Good to do. No idea why AI overlord decided to dislike StartIsBack

For Dark Magic I have an experimental vector styling engine in the works. However it's not coming any time soon, sorry.

Latest update removed altering style for any .msstyles which is not \Windows\Resources\Themes\aero.msstyles.

Control Center is screwed up and total degradation on 24H2, blame Microsoft.

It's expected for now. Not that Insider is generally supported

There isn't.

Well it will be rolled into next update as you're rare casualty.

rtl fix https://startisback.com/StartAllBack_setup.exe

No they still can't figure out which team fixes compat.

DarkMagic 3.7.9 fixes

StartAllBack 3.7.9

NoDarkTooltips does that; font is always changed to system one

For consistency with XAML tooltips.

DisableTaskMgr policy.

Does it still in 3.7.9 test build? https://startisback.com/StartAllBack_setup.exe
