Tihiy Posted September 2, 2013 Author Posted September 2, 2013 Not sure why the start menu wouldn't open in the preview but it's working just perfectly now in the RTM.Thanks for all the work you've put into this Boo! Now how can we fix that problem?Can you recall the list of apps you had 8.1 which can modify shell? Extensions, tweakers, replacements, skinning, etc?
scavenger84 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 i cant get startisback plus rc2 to work with windows 8.1 rtm if anyone can help?
roirraWedorehT Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Did you download it from the link in the second post of this thread? You'll have to be more specific. What doesn't work? Can you install it?

Tusticles Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Anyone tried to change the start menu style when using a custom theme? Only "Default start menu style" works for me.With any other start menu styles: Edited September 5, 2013 by Tusticles
isler Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) report a bugi use two LCDs, and LCD1 is the master LCD. when i update the system to windows 8.1, every LCD has its own start button. (in windows 8, only the master LCD has a start button)before i install startisback+, if i click the original start botton in LCD2, the start screen will be shown only in LCD2, no change in LCD1. the reverse is the samebut after i install startisback+, if i click the "start screen" button(i don't know the english name, it's the shortcut to open the start screen in the startisback+ menu) in LCD1/2, the start screen will be shown always in the master LCDmaybe the main method is when you click the shortcut of one software in the startisback+ menu in LCD2, the software can be shown in LCD2, not the master LCD Edited September 5, 2013 by isler
Tihiy Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 Sorry, but what is 'Start screen' button?
Tusticles Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Sorry, but what is 'Start screen' button?Nothing to say about the picture I posted above?
isler Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Sorry, but what is 'Start screen' button?it's the shortcut of start screen in the startisback+ menu.
Tihiy Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 Still no love for me getting that default pane size working on the open box It won't be changed. Why is that critical?Nothing to say about the picture I posted above?Well, it's obviously a bug and will be fixed, although you're not really supposed to use full skin with alternate skin.it's the shortcut of start screen in the startisback+ menu.Aha. It opens Start screen on the last used monitor. Middle-click on Start button or pressing Ctrl-Win or invoking Start screen via charms will open it on the intended monitor, but i'll try to make shortcut open it on the active monitor too. You can also set 'Enable all corners on secondary monitors'. Then start button on non-primary monitor will open Start screen only.
Tusticles Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Well, it's obviously a bug and will be fixed, although you're not really supposed to use full skin with alternate skin.The bug is caused by windows 8.1, even if you don't have SIB+ installed you will have the same bug, to fix this SIB+ must be installed with "Default startmenu style" selected and Windows explorer restarted.

MrGRiM Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Still no love for me getting that default pane size working on the open box It won't be changed. Why is that critical?It's not critical but I thought you were going to work on it after you got everything else working, well that's what you led me to believe anyway, mostly I just wanted it so I could port all my Windows 7 and 8 themes that have the search box removed, I didn't think it was a big ask nor did I think it would effect any of the themes that would have the search box, all themes have that default pane size set so it's not like it will break anything by enabling it the way it should be. Here is an example of one of my start menus with the open box removed and how it looks on SIB+
Viper007Bond Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure if this is a known bug or not (sorry if it is) but when you have configured the taskbar to use small icons (i.e. where the clock is only a single line), then the default start menu button disppears. Selecting an icon other than the Windows 8 logo fixes the issue but I'd prefer that icon over the other built-in ones. I'm using Windows 8.1 and the latest version here.
