@Tihiy I'm trying to port an old Windows 7 custom theme to StartIsBack and I have a small problem. I use the included Windows 7.msstyles from SaB as a base and everything works as long as I don't segment the taskbar: As soon as I segment the taskbar it loses most of its styling: The interesting thing is however, due to a bug I presume the taskbar on my second monitor can't un-segment itself yet retains the styling: Is there any documentation as to how to edit styles so they retain the styling when in segmented mode? I have some custom-styles for SaB that work fine when segmented so it seems to be possible.

Is there any documentation of how to create themes for StartAllBack properly? Windows 7 styles don't work, a couple of Windows 10 ones do work but they all have squared corners so I would like to make my own theme for SaB or at least edit some Win 10 ones with rounded corners. EDIT: While I'm on the topic of themes, does anyone know of some Windows Longhorn themes perhaps?

Awesome, thanks for the update and the hard work! Could someone post a screenshot of the "new" tray area or does it look the same? I'm a little apprehensive installing this build due to the mentioned corruption. I'm on 23H2 RC.

Well I tested SaB in a 23H2 VM now and it worked like a charm

So do I see it correctly that SaB 3.6.12 works fine with 23H2 and I can safely update?

Oh I agree with that, I'm just saying for my personal use-case I could make due with less, especially since RoundedTB exists.

If we have to make due with the new Taskbar I hope there will be a way to atleast customize the Start Icon while centered.

Say what happened to the Mica effect in the folder-properties etc.? It's gone again for me after SaB added it a while ago. I'm running SaB 3.6.4 and Windows 11 22621.1555.

Could we have non Aero.msstyles patching as an option in the settings? I use a custom theme that's named differently but I liked the mods SaB applied. Or should I just rename my theme?

Hmm interesting, but do both solutions also re-enable Live-Tiles? I tried Start 11 before and it could replicate the Windows 10 menu but Live-Tiles weren't functional, is Explorer Patcher different here?

As far as I know there isn't any third-party application that can re-enable the Windows 10 menu with tiles. The function itself doesn't seem to exist in the OS anymore and replicating it seems hard.

I guess you're a fan? 😅 Also thanks for the update!

Oh wow thank you! Upon trying it it seems to work amazingly short of a small incompatibility with SaB: I'll open an issue on the projects Github and see if the dev can do something about it.

That's a fair note although I think it would be nice as an option if it doesn't add too much work for you. I use bolder fonts across my whole explorer so readability shouldn't be impacted too much for people who use non-default fonts.

I've been thinking, could StartAllBack add Mica to the whole explorer window? I know MicaForEveryone can do this but since it's a hacky way it only works in dark-mode so I thought maybe SaB could do it properly for light and dark.
