StartIsBack+ 1.7.5

[Tihiy]

That's your call, no versions of SIB/SIB+ were broken by updates, that applies for GA too.

Anyone have any idea on how i can get my start menu to pop up on my secondary monitor if i click the start button there instead of only the primary monitor?

Thanks

Is there a way to use the original start button that windows 8.1 has?

[JeffVader]

Just upgraded to Windows 8.1 and Start Is Back+

I use Putty a lot, on the previous version of Start is Back the Putty jumplist showed a list of the sites I normally connect to.

With Start is Back+ the list is there but appears to be in a different character set (Chinese ?) and when I click on the link it doesn't work.

Any ideas ??

Thanks

Yeah it seems it's StartIsBack turn to choke on Putty. Will be fixed soon.

2nd this... the button MS provided is fine, just don't like where it goes to

Tihiy thanks a lot for your work.

I found a glitch though, here it is a pic

there is a blank space between the last folder and the back button. How can I fix this?

Thank you very much

I dont't think you understand me. Instead of windows 7 orb for example can we have the one that 8.1 already has and opens the start menu? I am just saying if startisback has a way to use the BUTTON that 8.1 came with instead of another orb.

Go to Preferences -> Appearance and choose the first Start Menu flag - that's the original 8.1 button.

It's intended and always was this way, otherwise it would show cropped item and that looks bad.

It isn't exactly. the original has a little of animation when you move the mouse over it and the same color you have choosed foe the start screen.

After upgrading to 8.1/SIB+, one of the programs I use (sorry, proprietary) refuses to start from the Start Is Back menu. It starts, but only appears in the Task Manager as a small background process and never really runs to display its window. However it starts just fine from a file manager or from Windows Explorer. I tried changing its compatibility, but nothing helped. It worked just fine in Win 8. Tried searching its name in Event Viewer, but no errors related to this.

Give me the RGB or hex color code for the color you want, and I can post a start icon for you that's nearly 1:1 Windows 8.1's. In the meantime, here's a generic white one...

But, maybe there is room for another folder or icon (it seems to me exactly a line)... I do not remember a similar behaviour in Startisback

Does it run properly for any of invoke places (search, all programs, pinned programs, find-exe-path-and-run)? What if you hold ctrl+shift when invoking it (elevating)? What if you right-click it and select Open? What if you do it with keyboard and enter key?
