If you want both now, create dword value 1 named 'EnableStartEdge' in HKCU\SOFTWARE\StartIsBack.

Unfortunately, shortcuts for games are not created in start menu as this function is cut from Windows 8' game explorer, I may add a function to recreate them later but I can't promise.

Try to delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\StartIsBack - UpdateDate. Also note that in 1.0 and 1.1RC update check works only with direct connection.

Only when you run configurator. I may introduce checking in explorer as well, but i don't like obtrusive notifications (nobody does). Do you have an idea how to notify about new version if configurator is not running?

It *IS* given at first installation and as well in FAQ. I may add a control panel item or start menu shortcut as well, but i hope it's not necessary. I don't think so, unfortunately.

Interesting thing to note, Start8 steals features from StartIsBack:

^^ that's what I would say. Thanks!

It checks only once per day and only in configuration tool.

Sorry, i thought you were in.

VERSION 1.1 http://www.startisback.com/#download-tab New over 1.1RC: Stay tuned, 1.2RC will bring some nice things.

I'll try to. You can try to. That's very strange, since i develop it in VMWare and never noticied that. I believe you should try it on real system.

mara-, tell me more about this phantom bug: - Is it in 1.1 or 1.0 too? - Does pressing Win key trigger new Start screen only or Start menu too? - Did you install all available Windows updates? - Are you sure your Ctrl key is not stuck? Try disabling start screen keyboard shortcut.

StartIsBack Version 1.1RC http://startisback.com/StartIsBack_setupRC.exe Note: this is Release Candidate version. It should be stable but won't be published on site or pushed as new version to 1.0. There could be more, major changes in 1.1 release, but don't hold your breath yet.

You need to install uxtheme patcher like http://uxstyle.com/

Thank you extremely, MrGRiM , those themes look awesome! Seems there was unscheduled server downtime for several minutes but it should be fine now, hosting is very reliable and there should be no cases of purchases lost. V1.1RC should come today or tomorrow with several improvements and fixes. RC versions won't be put on site (yet). I'll notify the translators, though.

Yeah, i can reproduce autounhide not working on start orb and will have it fixed.Displacing orb is an issue specific to geneticplasma system. Sounds like easily reproduce-able bug but nobody did found it, so he should try to help us by finding the culprit which steals orbs.

Reproduced, and I've noticed this but didn't realize what reproduced it. I still didn't. Any more specific settings or video demo?

You can install 1.0 and uninstall it to get choice on installation type.

1.0 already checks for new versions and will show a notice in the configurator if new version is available.

It should be. Next version.

^^ that is still inconvinient, so pinning will be improved next version.

Yes, a bit later. Uninstall and reinstall StartIsBack for current user or delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\StartIsBack\License key. If you change both HDD and MB, new activation will count as new PC. There is no automatic deactivation. If you have any probems, i'll help you resolve them. Good to know! Not sure. I'll try to make a guide.

All VMWare / Hyper-V activations should generally count as one. I can't guarantee it, though. You can freeze time, duplicate bios uuid or just change user / reinstall every 30 days. I'm not sure how fair this is. If you want this issue resolved, contact me. I'll set up a web service which would allow you to check your license keys and how much activations are used on them in a few days.

It should still work because it would be tied to usb stick serial number. I've gifted you a key to test it.

Create a shortcut to '%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{2559a1f8-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}' as described here. Pin it to start menu and voila.
