This works exactly the same in Windows 7, there is no separate property to where glow can be added without effecting the other.

SiB should have its own skin settings since it's a separate program. Edited March 12, 2014 by Tusticles
roirraWedorehT Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 There is a bunch of minor issues on Windows 8.1 Update 1, they shall be sorted out before official release.I've been busy with my new job.Thanks for working on an update, and congratulations on your new job! :-) Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
MrGRiM Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Hi Tihiy, I have a little problem that has bugged me for a long time now and wondered if there was anything you can do to fix it, when there is a pending windows update there is a little shield icon that appears on the shutdown button in the start menu, now in Windows 8 this shield was treated like an overlay and did not displace any content in the shutdown button but in SIB+ the icon displaces the content and this causes issues with some of my themes and and pushes the logofff button out of the start menu, is there any chance you could take it back to being just an overlay as it was in Windows 8, it would be greatly appreciated.
epic Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Noticed another bug, not sure if you picked up on it.Just noticed some application icons within the start menu appended with (2), (3), etc.. if I attempt to delete the field "(*)" startisback+ states that there already is a program by that name in the start menu. it's not visible...When unpinning the program from the start menu and repinning it, the program is renamed to (2), (3), etc.. again.

Tihiy Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) StartIsBack +1.6 BETA 1http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBackPlus_setupBETA.exebeta 0 changes- Windows 8.1 Spring Update support- Default start button now has 'shine' effect- Start menu preloads icons more aggresively- All Programs XP style new program highlighting works better- Hot screen corners work better on multiple monitorsFixed:- 'Make start menu adjacent to vertical taskbar' was broken with auto-hide taskbar- 'Remove and prevent access to Shutdown, Restart and Hibernate' policy didn't allow logging offI'm afraid there won't be many more changes as 1.6 deadline is soon.However, I'm open to suggestions what to do with Spring Update gifts and craps we've received.Also please test this version well. There were some DWM crashes on Spring Update related to immersive taskbar, so tell me if you confirm those. Edited March 16, 2014 by Tihiy
rocky Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) It cause blank screen break the explorer whenever I try to install it. I haven't tried to install update 1 yet. I'm using Windows 8.1 x86. Edited March 16, 2014 by rocky
humanangle Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Confirming blank black screen after installation. I had to remove and reinstall 1.6.0 beta .. No spring update yetI'm using Windows 8.1 x86. Edited March 16, 2014 by humanangle
nheimler Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Yup same here. 1.6 beta 0 didn't have this issue. I am running the Update 1. (Windows 8.1 Pro U1 32bit). If this is a known bug I will wait to try to update others.Will this be resolved before the final version? You mention there will not be many changes. Just curious if I'm going to have to tell my clients not to update if they are prompted. Edited March 16, 2014 by nheimler

MrGRiM Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 found a bug, when using the default start button and using "enable bottom-left screen corner (start screen button)" the start menu button is disabled and only the start screen button is active
nheimler Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Any reason why the DWM bug would still linger after a complete uninstall of SIB? I did leave the settings and license info. After a some number of reboots after the beta 1 install and removal it occationally is now doing this still. I'll watch it over the next few days but just giving you a heads up Tihiy. Thanks again!
kenw232 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I installed StartIsBack+ on Windows Server 2012 R2 using Remote Desktop Services. Does anyone know why I might be missing my Shutdown & Restart commands in the Start Menu for Administrator now? See admin.jpg. To make things more confusing, a normal non-admin user actually shows the two options but they are greyed out which is correct. Its strange because what I want and would expect is the complete opposite - Admin should show the two options, and normal users should not see them or have them greyed out.Anyone know how to change this and get back the two Shutdown/Restart options as Admin?
Tihiy Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Sorry for the breakage! Please re-download. If you got explorer broken, run 'StartIsBackCfg /uninstall' from task manager.MrGRiM, that's the expected behavior.kenw232, currently in any RDP sessions shutdown options are removed.
