Hi there. Just upgraded from StartIsBack to StartAllBack after migrating from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro.

I've noticed that the "middle click to close" functionality (i.e., clicking the mouse wheel to close a window on the taskbar) only works.....

Just fyi: Unfortunately this is the current behavior of StartAllBack and the developer isn't interested or willing to fix this :(

When I use the Win+D shortcut to show my desktop, the taskbar randomly goes turns into a broken transparent taskbar. Has anyone else had this issue?

I still have this issue on 3.9.7 unfortunately  

Light mode tooltip bug in the latest version (clock area tooltip not affected by this), manifests when energy saver is on

As a workaround for now, you can terminate dwm.exe

Unfortunately, this problem is still there in 3.9.6:

 "Win + Ctrl + Num x" brings the wrong window into focus.

And I re-write the steps about how to reproduce:

Say we have 3 windows grouped at the 2nd position on the taskbar.

1. Focus on the 1st window of this 2nd group.
2. Press "Win + Ctrl + Num 2" to switch to the 2nd window of the 2nd group.
3. Switch to another window of another group by clicking the icon on the taskbar using the mouse and do not click the target window itself.(Do NOT use "Win + Ctrl + Num x" in this step)
4. Press "Win + Ctrl + Num 2".

After the last step, it focuses on the 1st window of the 2nd group (should've focused on the 2nd window of the 2nd group).

Notes:

• To reproduce this problem, Step 4 must be executed following Step 3. (Doing any other things could prevent the issue from being reproduced.)
• Step 3 can be repeated (i.e. switching to other windows by clicking on the taskbar) as long as no other actions are executed.
• Tested on the stock taskbar (windows 11, 24H2 (26100.3476)) which is good without the issue.

Hope I stated the steps clearly. Thanks.

Problem fixed in 3.9.7.

Thanks!!!

Here's a problem I have when RDPing to Volterra (ARM64 Windows):

The problem only appears when connected with RDP and moving mouse over Start menu items. Changing colour and transparency style has no effect.

Hi everyone!

Is there a way to customize icon sizes available for taskbar under S / M / L / XL option? XL is too big, L still too small for my preference

When enabling plumpness this highlight box is shorter:

when I share content from a second monitor it doesn't show taskbar (skype/teams/meet/zoom)

The Copy Dialog has this 5px black bar on top of the graph.

Black bar on top of the graph.

 

Here marked in red.

 

This seems to be one of Microsoft's blunders that becomes visible through dark magic.

Could you please take a look at this for a future version? Thank you.

Thanks for the update! Unfortunately Win+D still breaks the taskbar  

Small bug report:

When using the Windows 7 style taskbar, with small icons, Windows that restore on top of the size of the start button instead of the size of the task bar.

First screenshot is how windows should restore to. Second screenshot is how it actually restores. Note the gap between the window and the task bar that aligns with the size of the start button.
