StartIsBack+ 1.7.5

[rocky]

Not so sure about that, please continue testing, fresh installs preffered.

I did fresh install for testing and no problem

I just noticed something that might be small issue

this is normal

this is when I peek other window from taskbar

in this case, opacity level become lower at the time

OK Tihiy, then I don't need it at all now because I install SIB on my computer only, I mean a desktop. Thank you again for explaining it.

Confirmed, but it could be intended behavior.

Found a slightly annoying issue. Sometimes seemingly at random, when I click a folder in Startisback (I believe this happened with the stable version as well) the folder just won't open. Start screen tiles as well as regular items in the start menu open fine. Anyhow, while this bug is going on, need a log before I reboot? (I have updates pending for some stuff) Where are the logs I should upload for this particular issue?

Also, instead of making another post (although this is a different issue) I've noticed some minor Metro/Modern UI carried over inconsistencies in StartIsBack that are slightly annoying, nothing serious. Here's some off the top of my head:

1) Ever notice how when you hover over "Start Apps", the cursor changes from the standard cursor to a hand? Slight annoyance.

2) Right click Internet Explorer. At least in Windows 8.1, it says "opennewwindow" without quotes. A little touching up to make it say "Open a new window" would be nice.

Are you giving out any licenses for beta testing & feedback?

Why don't you try it, provide feedback, then ask Tihiy if your feedback is worthy of that kind of reward? Asking ahead of time, IMHO, is just rude.

Cheers and Regards

I just tested it and yes, it just like you said. I guess when folder has two locations (user and all users), it won't open unless you do right-click then click open/open all users and when folder has one location (for example: all users), it will open when you click on it

never

Nice update Tihiy, I see one in particular "Fixed: rapidly changing theme crash" I have been having that a fair amount but never thought it was SIB, so thanks for this fix

Avast reports StartIsBack.cfg as a virus in 1.5 beta2. Also, properties appear at the center of the screen.

If it's feedback you want, it's feedback you'll get. I cannot seem to figure out what's causing folders not to have been able to be opened. Also, this is a nitpick, but could you change the context menu for Internet Explorer from StartIsBack? It literally says "opennewwindow" and I think it should say something more human readable like "Open a New Window".

Your best update to date, in my opinion. I absolutely love the "Show Start screen on secondary monitor when I log on to my PC" feature. I've always manually launched it on my #2 monitor first thing after logging on, now it just does it. Thanks, Tihiy, for the continuously great work!
