Any program which shows windows on desktop.

The way this is implemented is insecure - the CC entry form opens in an overlay of an insecure site. Fixed this.

This is still a preliminary idea and will be discussed later. As for ModernMix, compatibility improvements for it will be in next version.Also, I've implemented long-needed direct card payments on the site.

Yes, SIB 3.0 is planned to have this feature, (when / if) it is released.

That can be fixed by disabling start menu translucency (or animations).

StartIsBack will provide it if/when it makes Modern apps belong to taskbar (like ModernMix does).

It's supposed to be this way. For now, opening another support forum is not worth the security risk / maintenance time.

When you invoke any kind of Modern UI, all hot corners are enabled.

If you turn Start screen into Apps screen, 'Pin to Start' context menu item is removed.

StartIsBack 2.0 is missing some translations. If you can translate SIB into following languages, please help! How to Missing languages: Czech: http://startisback.com/langs/cs-cz.txt Slovak: http://startisback.com/langs/SK-SK.txt Croatian: http://startisback.com/langs/HR-HR.txt New languages are also welcome! Next version should bring RTL translation support.

As the second part of KernelEx brain, I fully support Leyok and applaud to his effort. I wish all the scattered work around the board with KernelEx extensions would be merged into new version. If you need my guidance about API and compatibility, feel free to contact me.

It's Windows 8 issue, unfortunately. I'm improving this. On first installation, pinned items folder is cleaned and Windows 7 pinned items are migrated.

Ok no one but hero named gsilvap noticied it, and only with his help this bug was saved from the dungeon of bugs. That's very unlikely. You can try 1.3.3 to be sure: http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBack_setup133.exe (uninstall 2.0 first).

2.0.1 released; since no one uses XP-style All Programs mode, no one noticied major bug it in

I believe it's not allowed to redistribute parts of Start8. What exactly do you mean by 'some do not work'? If you want to participate in translation, see this post or write me what's wrong with translation, i'll forward your notes to the translator.

Yes you can use same png images as in Start8. Add them with 'Add...' dialog, not just copy them into Orbs subfolder.

StartIsBack supports both .png and .bmp formats (and always did). To add them, press 'Add...' under orb preview list.

Version 2.0 Released http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBack_setup.exe - Virtually the same as RC3. Let's party!

Maybe, in the future vesion. Well, StartIsBack purposefully makes Start screen load after Desktop. Yet I've never noticed lag when opening it. Do you wait long enough or launch it while other things start up?

Go to %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\user pinned\StartMenu and delete existing shortcuts; then unpin and re-pin items.

Unfortunately, you can't (yet). Metro apps don't belong there.

StartIsBackCfg.exe /activate [/elevated] YOUR-LICENSE-KEY-NUMBER/elevated for all users install

Q: How many times can I reinstall / reactivate StartIsBack? A: There is no limitation on how many times you can activate an installation on same PC. You can backup activation data from registry [sOFTWARE\StartIsBack\License] and restore it freely.

With StartIsBack 2.0, you may just copy shortcuts from Start Apps (right-click - Copy - go to Desktop or folder you need shortcut - Paste shortcut).
