Wait, Iron Man died to defeat him  After time travelling and all-in battle. Oh well...

How many did we win?

Damn bad analogy, he's still a cool badass genius who saved the world... that was the comparison I was going for.

I usually have this option OFF (not checked), but for like 1-2 months now it seems to get turned ON (checked) randomly (maybe at reboot?)

Using version 3.7.10, on Windows 11 23H2, but I think it was happening on 3.7.9 also...

I'm not sure how to reply here, but I'll try to be thorough. This has been happening since I bought StartAllBack since a few months ago. So I'm assuming all versions before and including 3.7.11.

 

After changing from EP (this was 2-3 months ago) to StartAllBack I've been having a singular issue.

To provide some context I run physically two monitors, left is 1920x1080@100% display scaling (main monitor) with the taskbar on the right side and right from it 3840x2160@200% display scaling (secondary monitor).

Now I use DisplayPort on both of the monitors, so turning one off makes the literal display signal disappear.

Keeping this in mind if I have both the monitors turned off, and turn the secondary 4K 200% monitor on first, the taskbar will change size by becoming smaller by width.

 

I usually leave the PC on, but without sleep. So only the monitors are off.

 

Basically, while both monitors are off, if I accidentally turn on the 4K monitor (so it gets the signal first) before the 1080p the Windows right side taskbar loses some width. I usually have it as 62px, but it becomes smaller than this if I accidentally turn on the 4K (200% DPI) secondary monitor before the first 100% DPI scaling one.

 

I apologize for the weird explanation, but I am willing to provide any and all logs that are required. This program is perfect in all ways besides this!

Layout. Left main monitor 1080p@100% scaling. Right secondary 4k@200% scaling

It seems like the last version removed the Copilot button?
Why is that?

[Sparkling]

in startallback  in windows filebrowser  when you hover cursor on up arrow button there are some extra padding in right side, when you hover on taskbar open program icons and you see the close button you hover on it and the extra padding is in the botton of the button.

Hello. How do I get the start menu to obey dark mode? The left side with the most used programs is bright white.

Copilot is now (in newer Windows) a PWA app which is pinned to taskbar and I'm not a fan of schizophrenia

So I can't override it somehow?

Use another visual style for start menu

[Xao_Fan-Tzilin]

Is it possible to switch the taskbar view on Win 26552 like in Win 10?

[Ill-Term7334]

Really nitpicking here now but is it possible to get rid of this ugly double border?

Change the visual style.

I've tried changing flyout style and restarting after each. All 3 look the same.

I rather have it as that robo icon next to the desktop button over having it take my main taskbar space, that was why I like that button you made and used it instead :0
