Is anybody else having problems accessing startallback.com (and startisback.com)?

Here's a problem I have when RDPing to Volterra (ARM64 Windows): The problem only appears when connected with RDP and moving mouse over Start menu items. Changing colour and transparency style has no effect.

It opens on whichever monitor the focused window is.

Maybe just enable transparency, and let the wallpaper changing take care of the rest (assuming you have a slideshow set up for wallpapers).

That bug goes back at least to XP.

Slovenian: https://eternallybored.org/misc/startallback/sl-si.txt BTW, Plumpness → Aura does not work properly in high contrast mode (the border is completely transparent – maybe the setting should be removed and Buffer used always if anybody wants to use Plumpness in high contrast); I also noticed that with Windows 11 default high contrast themes the Settings window colours are quite bad in the left column (ironically, this doesn't happen with the customised theme I use, otherwise I'd report this earlier).

I noticed a small bug – sometimes when I hover over a pinned icon (usually from the program that I just closed), only half of the highlight is painted: And when this happens, the neighbouring icon doesn't get a highlight on hover at all.

It's a bit too late now, but in the future if you're planning to reinstall Windows, export the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\StartIsBack\License before you reinstall, then import it back.

I just upgraded my main workstation to 24H2, and I noticed that some of my taskbar settings were lost, specifically the taskbar was only 1 row high, and my Quick Launch toolbars were missing (is SaB using Windows' own Registry settings for this, and Microsoft reset them?). Also, please add a classic Alt+Tab dialog, the modern one is so much worse for my workflow.

I noticed a problem with classic Control Panel when StartAllBack's dark mode is enabled: the (keyboard) focus rectangle is not visible at all. This only affects Control Panel, and only in dark mode (in light mode and in high contrast mode there are no problems); it doesn't matter what the view is set to, it happens in Category, Large Icons and Small Icons views. I'd post a screenshot, but there's nothing to show at all.

That's always been supported – look in the Settings → Start Menu → scroll down to Right side items → Control Panel.

I noticed something funky today – the taskbar on one of my computers was suddenly different colour, and also wasn't auto-hiding – Windows somehow toggled the setting. After enabling auto-hide again, it went back to the usual colour, and if I disable it, it changes colour again: Autohide disabled: Autohide enabled:

Exactly, you purchased a game license, so you should ask the game support why it's triggering on StartAllBack – this is not something Tihiy can solve (it's like when AV products have false positives – there's basically nothing the software author can do, it has to be the AV company that needs to fix their s***).

I've been using multiple QuickLaunch toolbars practically since they were introduced with the IE4 desktop update – they are my main way of launching programs, specifically those that I use regularly, but not all the time (the programs that I use all the time have been pinned since that's been introduced in Windows 7). OTOH, I never missed the ability to have toolbars on secondary displays.

Right-click the taskbar, use the Toolbars menu?
