Is it possible to add a feature to hide taskbar thumbnail previews, as ExplorerPatcher used to do on Windows 10?

Like this ?

Doesn't it work only for Windows 11 taskbar?

I can still see the bug while hiding taskbar with keyboard shortcut (win+alt+t), it doesn't actually hide it when dynamic transparency is enabled. It works when app is maximized (which stops taskbar from being transparent).

 

EDIT: I've just noticed that keeping dynamic transparency and hiding the taskbar itself when window is maximized, it starts to show taskbar again when un-maximizng a window, which is actually a cool feature (although unintended I guess) on its own, as in - hiding taskbar when non-maximized or maximized window touches the top edge of the screen, and showing it again when no window touches the top edge of the screen.

Yes, I tried all the options listed there, but nothing works on Windows 11. Previously, it was possible to do this using ExplorerPatcher, but it is not available on Windows 11.

It is possible to run ExplorerPatcher on Windows 11 and restore the taskbar from Windows 10, but this would require completely abandoning StartAllBack, which I do not want to do.

When the taskbar is at the bottom, the thumbnail previews don't bother me, but I find it more convenient when the taskbar is at the top, so it's more convenient for me and they don't get in the way.

@Tihiy I don't know if that's a bug or something you've changed (as I didn't noticed that in release notes), but changing tray icons to show Windows 11 flyouts now allows to show those flyouts without merging all the system tray icon like in current Windows 11 taskbar, but it's a fantastic change and I thank you very much for that! AFAIR it wasn't working like that before in older versions, it was still merging all system tray icons into one icon like on Win11 right?

@Tihiy one more thing - I've noticed that toggling Action center icon visibility doesn't actually change the SysTrayActionCenter value in registry, because of that I can't disable that icon when deploying SAB and its config through script for example. It doesn't change the icon visibility either when I change the value directly in registry.

For some reason, when i disable uac, drag and drop in explorer address line won't work with "win11 command bar" style, but "win 10 ribbon ui" work fine

Feature Request: It would greatly enhance usability if folders could be pinned directly to the Start menu with flyout menu.

When I use Startallback, the music software I use (NetEase Cloud Music) will not automatically update information on the taskbar. This problem has occurred on many versions. Can it be fixed?

IMO it sounds like that music software is designed for Win11 taskbar only, which would need to be fixed on the app side. It'd be valuable to check if it also works on Win10.

在我看来，这个音乐软件似乎只针对 Win11 的任务栏设计，需要在应用程序端进行修复。检查它是否也能在 Win10 上运行很有帮助。

The song information on the taskbar can be updated normally when using an old version of startallback (such as 3.6.12) or when the taskbar beautification of startallback is disabled. However, in the latest versions, the information in the taskbar can only be refreshed by moving the mouse to the status bar or the resource manager. This problem can be stably reproduced on both of my PCs, so I think it should be a problem with startallback.
