Unfortunately it's a bug in Spanish translation. It's fixed in 1.2RC.

It does if you don't check 'Resize to fit taskbar'. Also, there is a setting in registry to use Start hot corner - HKCU\SOFTWARE\StartIsBack EnableStartEdge = 1.

That's good. Tell me that it solves your problem. Although, this shouldn't ever cause hard lockups. Do you use NVIDIA beta drivers?

Better use adequate browser. I didn't make that clear, but skinning engine is not the almighty solution. It serves only one purpose - provide rectangular skin for StartIsBack. It may have limitations and not intended to skin everything. I may create sth like UxStyle ofc, but that's not what i want.

Search desktop for broken / network shortcuts. If you find any, tell me.

I'll try to. Or we'll find good dark skin.

VERSION 1.2 RC1 http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBack_setupRC.exe Pretty boring version, nothing changed... except one thing * StartIsBack now supports skins! It is able to load skins for start menu from msstyles directly, without any patches or tools needed! One skin is included, Aero 8 by MRGrim. You can find and download more Windows 8 msstyles (although there isn't much now) and place into StartIsBack install folder\Styles. There should be 1.2RC2 with more fixes and changes. Or not. I'll notify the translators later.

Ex7forW8 has bugs which are described in its thread. StartIsBack offers more configuration options, more bugfixes and more features. Cracked version is circulating in Internets, known to be buggy, what to do about it.

Softpedia approved StartIsBack, yay! I'll try to get a digital signature, don't have such money yet.

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.
