Libraries are hairy. In case you run into some problems with them, right-click Libraries and choose 'Restore default libraries'. Or just turn off their display.
-
Do you have Libraries displayed in This PC? If you do, you may need to set new libary location.
-
Sorry, but I can't reproduce it. Please state any specifics your setup has, like: - are you logging in to the running or new session - which RDP version you're using to connect - what did you try to remedy a problem (did you try new account? default windows theme / default startisback settings?) - does running startisbackcfg - pressing OK helps? - are there any event logs / crashes? I've tried to replicate your setup on multiple conditions and did not find such behavior. Maybe write to the support email to diagnose this problem over remote session.

I also noticied that with RC1, but not with RC2. Transparent layered blur window seems to not update correctly. Also blur seems weaker with translucency than it should be, but I'm not sure. If Ivo wants to know how to dissable accent, he should ask. I'll contact Winaero developer to update his Opaque Taskbar for those interested in blur on taskbar without start menu if bugmuscle does not revise his opinion.

That's cool; now how do I choose lol. I'll think about it. Just set Process Name filter to explorer.exe.
-
The only I/O that can slow down UI thread in your case is icon cache index. But it should be fast to read from SSD, so I'm not sure what happens; would be interesting to see what explorer.exe I/O is at the moment.

Responsiveness is improved in 1.5, although first time opening may be noticeable on some systems. What amount of RAM do you have? It's just unusal. I see you've tailored color to the gray like default SearchBox does. That makes bottom part of menu 'light' but some other elements seem to remain heavy. I'm just nitpicking ofc.

Group policy has been updated. Seems a bit too white-ish for me. What others think?

StartIsBack+ 1.5 Final http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBackPlus_setupRC.exe Not updated on website yet! - Fixed: Windows 8.1 system bug. When 'Let me set a different input method for each app window' is enabled, searching via start menu or file explorer window makes input language vanish from the system until reboot. - Fixed: program didn't work in safe mode even when enabled
-
Try creating that value in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\StartIsBack] instead. "EnableInSafeMode" = 1 (dword value)
-
Then it's not StartIsBack. It does not load before explorer, thus can't interfere with your logon.
-
What's the method you're using to move files to ramdisk? What you mean by 'restoring SIB'? What you meant by 'blank screen'? Is Ctrl-Alt-Del - Task Manager available?
-
+1.5RC3 http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBackPlus_setupRC.exe - Hottracking color is respected in styles - Ultra-optimized included .msstyles to improve performance
-
You need to register DLLs silently.
-
I don't cofirm this, please give more details / screenshots.
-
'Store and display recently opened items' is unchecked in Advanced?
-
That's all good, but I need to be sure all existing styles would work fine. Do you know where can I find a lot of msstyles? Edit: OK, i've tested all styles i could find on deviantArt and those which handled DPI changing survived new scaling algorithm.
-
The KB is true. SIB 1.33 or lower does cause black screen after you upgrade to Windows 8.1. I've mailed early users and put an warning into FAQ, but only time machine could help. A lot of illegal 1.3x copies were floating around as well.
-
Are you sure it's not a compat breaker? I'll test more styles if they work OK with new scaling. HUD Evo doesn't work well with either scaling from what I've seen.
-
Sweet shame! StartIsBack got a knownledge base article.
-
Updated RC2: not using new scaling for full msstyles. New scaling method scales content rectangle [ ((rectangle-margins)*scale)+margins ]
-
+1.5RC2 http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBackPlus_setupRC.exe

If we're talking about prices, then actually, it is 1¢ down. It's license price that matters. I can throw a lot of pro arguments but you won't listen - you need a lower price Write me a letter. Prices for software are mostly marketing. People pay $100 for additional birds in Angry Birds. If you're comparing SIB vs Start8 support, compare this: 1) Number of posts with activation problems 2) Number of languages supported 3) Email support response time
-
It's already applied, but not all apps can pick it.

It's been reported this issue happens on terminal server; it is resolved when running setup via terminal server installation mode.
