StartIsBack++ 2.9

[imnameless]

Hello,

I'm considering to buy StartIsBack++. I'd like to buy StartIsBack, but I'm not content with the way the product is selled and I'm not sure if the vendor is reliabable. I have a couple of questions and thoughts about that aspect:

Unfortunately, the website doesn't give any legal information regarding the person or legal entity who is selling the product. This doesn't change during process of purchase. The seller stays completely anonymous. So, how can you even conclude a purchase contract with an undefined contracting party?

To me, this doesn't even look like a true contract. This feels like I would simply send my money away to anywhere and then hope that I'm going to receive something for it, without having any legal claim to assert. How could I assert claims if I do not even know against who?

Also the only way to contact the seller directly is depicted in an image that's embeded into the text:

The things mentioned above don't make sense to me and from my perspective this doesn't seem serious. But I hope you can reassure me and bring light into the darkness?

 

Thank you and best regards,

Imnameless

Hello,

I've installed StartIsBack++. I started the setup, and selected to install the tool for the current user account only with a single click. The setup window disappeared together with my Explorer windows, the desktop and the taskbar while Explorer seemingly was restarted.

Now, I can see the changes made by StartIsBack++ but I can't open the GUI to configure the settings. In the setup, there were no options to add a desktop icon or a link in the programs list or to set the install directory. In result, I can't find the install directory, a desktop icon, a start menu entry or an icon in the system tray that would allow me to open the settings of StartIsBack++.

At which path is StartIsBack++ installed for the current user only? How else can I open the GUI? Please help me answer both questions.

Thanks and best regards,

[Bug] Flaw in the behaviour of the taskbar color

If the taskbar is set to be transparent on the desktop, it becomes colored while a window is maximized. The taskbar switches to be colored whenever a menu is opened from the taskbar, too. This applies to:

• the start menu
• the info center
• the clock and calender
• the volume control
• the wireless networks list
• the systray icons menu

However, the battery options menu where you can switch between "Best performance", "Better performance", "Best battery life" and "Battery safer" (on laptops) is missing on that list. The taskbar does not become colored when the battery options are opened.

 

Is there a chance that this will ever be fixed? Could "ever" be within less than a whole year?

Thanks Tihiy, I think for once 'Check updates' actually worked for me this time, seamless!
Just wondering, is it a possibility to allow us to lock the quick launch icons so they don't move around? I think most people prefer them to remain in certain positions and would like to avoid them accidentally moving when being clicked on.

White box with white text here.

NoDarkTooltips only works on taskbar tooltips, not start menu ones (expect with Windows 7.msstyles).

why is it like the context menu on my picture was cropped and you can no longer organize the menu even with the new vision it doesn't work why is that now or is that a mistake

[Ryrynz]

Same issue here as above.

[Tihiy]

I do not believe there is an issue. If you want monstrous and slow context menus, hold shift when right-clicking.

Any features for an animated startbutton coming soon? Like in Windows 8 how it did the little white flash when it was hovered? That startbutton was recreated for classicshell, but I prefer startisback++ over it, so it'd be pretty cool to see that implemented
