PandaX Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Implementation from Explorer or the msstyles?Explorer, msstyles, registry - all of them. . I was hoping just the msstyles since that's just what I noticed because adding back the stuff in the msstyles would be quite easy. Edited March 24, 2013 by PandaX

I have no idea if that is a bug or they are supposed to work like that? Thank you.

This may or may not be fixed in the future.
gsilvap Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Good work Tihiy!!!For when a version compatible with Windows Blue build 9364?European Portuguese is updated?? Edited March 24, 2013 by gsilvap
Tihiy Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 For when a version compatible with Windows Blue build 9364?Sometime or never. Writing a new start menu from scratch will take a long time.

This may or may not be fixed in the future.Disabling transparency and using Aero Glass 0.5 for Windows 8 will solve the problem, we have full aero with soft animations . But the Aero Glass project is a bit laggy with my GPU(GTX 670M) idle clocks, so, for now I will disable transparency and enjoy the soft animations. I'm sure this can be fixed somehow. Thank you for your response. Edited March 25, 2013 by Tusticles
MagicAndre1981 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 For me the setup doesn't work, it complains that the StartIsBack64.dll is in use. I never had this with older version.My workaround was to start my file manager and rename the 64Bit DLL and run the setup again.
maybe Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) In your FAQ's you state "Does StartIsBack "phone home"? No..." yet now you have "Desktop toast is shown when new version is available". You can't have it both ways. If you are going to have the software connect to the internet on it's own ("Phone Home") you should make that clear to everyone (both current and prospective users) right up front. IMHOP the best way would be to make "automatically check for updates" an opt-in only choice for the user, like most other user-friendly software. Edited March 25, 2013 by maybe
Tihiy Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 IMHOP the best way would be to make "automatically check for updates" an opt-in only choice for the user, like most other user-friendly software. It's opt-out like most software is. By not 'phoning home' I mean (and I believe it's common term) that software does not report any data about computer / user. And it doesn't; it only calls server with version of software to query if there's a new version.
santij07 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Confirmed the leaked version of Windows blue dont support StartIsBack even Start8 dont's work Microsoft eliminates all code, change kernel and explorer is a bad news.
stelian88 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 yes :| So everything is in vain.hard work for nothing to start menu.anyway that's one I'm familiar with the new Windows 8. so ... Goodbye start menu ... (startisback, start8 ..... etc.)
Shane Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 It's very disappointing to hear that they've purposely gimped it to make the start apps impossible to use. Screw you, Microsoft
