Alex77 Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Greetings, dear developer Tihiy! I have a suggestion. It would be nice to include in the style windows 7 features such as hide the up button and add arrows similar to windows 7. This feature was in your OldNewExplorer program. I wrote with a translator, I apologize for the broken language.
FaroBoon Posted July 4 Posted July 4 How do you remove a taskbar completely from a second monitor? I have a StartAllBack license and I had to reload my Windows 11. Due to my OLED monitor, I only had a taskbar on my secondary IPS monitor but not the OLED. I've reinstalled StartAllBack and the taskbar is on both monitors. I tried moving it off the OLED and it will only snap the borders.
SweedXD Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Hi Developer, I just tried the app today and it's really awesome! There are a few things I'm really used to and need that I couldn't get with the app. I am using TranslucentTB and Windhawk to make the taskbar transparent on the desktop and for everything else, but when maximized, it hides with a blur effect if "auto-hide" is enabled (like Dynamic Transparency). With the "auto-hide when maximized" plugin in Windhawk, it makes the taskbar only hide when a window is behind the taskbar or when the window is maximized (like Dynamic Shyness). For example, with StartAllBack, there's Dynamic Transparency and Dynamic Shyness, but it seems I can't use both of them at the same time. I want to use both to make the taskbar transparent on the desktop (blur or normal when unhiding in a maximized window) and make it only hide when maximized. (Dynamic Shyness) So, I suggest making it possible to use both (if possible). (and if you can make the app work with Windhawk) And here's another advanced thing that might be too good to be true: I used RoundedTB for a while (when it was working), and it had a really good feature called "Show system tray on hover," which made the system tray and icons on the right part of the taskbar only appear on hover. This would be really good with "segments." Another thing is if you can make the app work with Windhawk plugins. But for now, I really want to use both "Dynamic Transparency" and "Dynamic Shyness." Thank you for the app!
zwiloe Posted July 5 Posted July 5 I have a new PC and am setting everything up again. i have noticed that there is a strange error with the icons in the systray. it concerns the network, audio icon package. i don't need the audio symbol because i can adjust everything better via VOLUMEY. if i deactivate the audio symbol, the symbol for network is shifted strangely. this is only really noticeable when the taskbar is higher. as i have several monitors - and 2 of them are upright - this is very strange. with an even number of symbols, the network still remains alone and does not change to the other line. If I switch on the audio, it looks even stranger. i have fewer problems with this on the old computer, although the display there is also faulty, but in the end everything is as i would like it to be. otherwise i am very satisfied. thanks for your work!
Dracon Posted July 5 Posted July 5 (edited) New problem with this application, the explorer freezes when I launch large .exe, just long enough for it to launch then it comes back, but it makes a gray screen on the explorer which is quite unpleasant https://streamable.com/k51gzv Edited July 5 by Dracon

Uiti P. Uszer Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Feature Request: Option to replace the Explorer directional arrow icons with Windows 7 style arrows. Open Shell has had this for years and it really does complete the Windows 7 revived esthetic.

This does not appear without your app + no transparency or fluent effect on right clic menu in icon pined on taskbar? Its normal?
Tihiy Posted July 8 Author Posted July 8 This is not a bug, but an improvement to indicate disabled window. There is/will be a setting to disable shading for confused ones [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\StartIsBack\DarkMagic] FadeDisabled = (DWORD)0 There are acrylic effects alright, but it's not supposed to be pure black, maybe extra tweaks on your system. 1

Oh big thanks its that's all I needed, now the last problem is the right click that I indicated earlier. If you can solve this problem, your software will be perfect for me! ah and a big thank you for this software and your help! PS : for the color of right click i disable enhanced taskbar and re enable it, and its back to normal PS 2 : and now is back to black ahah Edited July 8 by Dracon
floki123 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Is it possible to add a feature to hide taskbar thumbnail previews, as ExplorerPatcher used to do on Windows 10?
