StartAllBack for Windows 11

Recommended Posts

Problems I noticed with 3.7 beta:

- when taskbar is set to auto-hide, clicking the clock hides the taskbar before the flyout is displayed

- taskbars on secondary displays are missing the border above Start Menu and notification area in high contrast mode:

- installing 3.7 beta in remote desktop session reset my window metrics and high contrast colour settings

just the display - what microsoft give us is rubbish imo this is what i set it to - i have had it like this for years and its an old friend - having the day - date and time available in the toolbar/taskbar is very useful in a clear readable fonttclock.png.9c18f350d0680291c72ed64666bc8fcf.png

More 3.7 problems: when I connect to my computer through Remote Desktop, or when I log in locally after I was connected with Remote Destkop, Explorer is now frozen; if I press the Windows key on the keyboard, Explorer restarts and resets my Windows theme (I'm using high contrast with custom colours). There was a similar problem with StartIsBack and older versions of StartAllBack, but Explorer usually only stayed frozen for a few seconds to about a minute (and it only happened when I connected with RDP, not when I logged in locally afterwards); with 3.7 Explorer seems to stay frozen forever (at least I left it in this state for about half hour yesterday, and it never recovered), and it seems to happen every time now (previously it only happened rarely).

Will using Process Explorer for creating the dump (right-click on Explorer→Create dump) do? Is minidump sufficient, or should I do a full dump?

The issue might be related to DPI changes (I run 225% at home [two 27″ 5k monitors], while when I connect remotely, I do so from regular-DPI screens, or from my workplace where monitors are set to 168% [though I think on RDP this changes to 175%]), and always with a single screen only.  High Contrast and custom window metrics (I dislike thick window borders) might be a factor, too.

And I forgot to mention, this is on 23H2, 22631.2428.

Hi

I have a question (suggestions) currently SAB Win 11 after clicking in the tray for an hour whether the same notification is sent. Isn't it better to restore the clock and calendar from win 7 if you click on the time in the tray

I have icon pack that replaces all icons in Windows 11 with the Windows 7 icons. Startallback force replaces the tray icons (volume, internet, remove devices, bluetooth) with the Windows 11 variant no matter what style is selected.

If you're using 3.7 beta I believe the new systray doesn't support msstyles.
