StartIsBack ++1.1.9 (to-be ++1.2) http://startisback.com/StartIsBackPlusPlus_setup.exe - New: partial taskbar skinning! Windows 7 skin enhanced with taskbar skin - Improved start menu display performance - Critical fix: StartIsBack causing windows animations chopiness - Critical fix: Some items are not opening propertly from start menu search results - Minor changes: * Adjusted French language metrics * Fix start button orb going below start menu * You can create "StartPane_MinHeight" DWORD in registry to tweak minimal start menu height
Added support for TaskBand2CompositedSmallIcons::TaskBand2 part Added support for TrayNotify*::Button 3-state images (sizing is still hardcoded, unfortunately) http://startisback.com/StartIsBackPlusPlus_setup.exe Aaand I think that's it for 1.2.
Okay, I will add support for other states (or just small icons?) for full msstyles. Tray flyout button is tempting, since it's easier to do, but what about notify icons, clock, etc? Are they supported by Win10?
I chose not to. Vertical images are already contained in Taskband2Composited::TaskBand2 and I don't see how small icons texture should be different from large icons texture, if taskbar texture does not differ. Or you do have skins with different small and large icons textures? Or does this break skins?
Ok, here we go. Taskbar skinning! http://startisback.com/StartIsBackPlusPlus_setup.exe StartIsBack++ adds back support for Taskbar2Composited::TaskBar skin part support for lite and full msstyles. Included Windows 7 skin now comes with Windows 7 taskbar background.
++1.1.6 Ability to enter Advanced Startup when shift-clicking RebootTweak to configure user avatar animation (create DWORD key "FadeUserFrame" = 1 in HKCU\Software\StartIsBack)Fixed metro app icons not loadingFixed Switch user shutdown option
The fix to not animate start menu with 'Animate window minimize and maximize' off is uploaded in ++1.1.5. I guess I would add a registry key for those who don't like sliding; there have been no complaints yet.
