Thanks for the link. now updated.

Was half expecting to see nice round corners on the taskbar - like I once saw them on first install. never to be seen again :-(

But that's a small thing. So glad to have this app!

In the latest insiders builds, with the classic bar at top, there is a problem with start menu. The problem exits in lots of insider builds new versions but it doesn't fix any update, any solution for this?

Really I only use startallback to have the bar at top. Thanks!!

StartAllBack 3.6 Preview

 

Hello

With this version, some designs have changed in the explorer
It looks like it's using W11's default theme, while we're using a custom theme

SAB 3.5.7 (Custom theme) :

SAB 3.6 (default theme ?) :

How to have the custom theme with 3.6 ?

In the meantime, me, I'm going back with 3.5.7

Thanks

StartAllBack does not alter custom theme... unless it's Aero.msstyles

Yet, as you can see with the pictures, SAB does it
Design "uses" SAB and no more Aero.msstyles with SAB 3.6

I did several tests, with SAB 3.5.7, with SAB 3.6, without SAB, and only SAB 3.6 modifies the "theme" (OK without SAB and SAB 3.5.7)

Thanks for your help

That's not helpful. What's your theme?

A theme with just small changes, I can send you the Aero.msstyles file if you want

I don't want it. If you're hacking it yourself, rename it from Aero.msstyles to some other name, then SAB won't apply.

Ah ok, I did not know that SAB "overwrites" Aero.msstyles file, thanks

Some listview glitches with dark dialogs:

- drive properties hardware tab has listview with black text color
- security tabs listview items have sticky focus rectangles.

There is an option in SAB which has an impact on the design of hard drives (modification between 3.5.7 and 3.6) ?
Know if it can be disabled

I don't see anything in the changelog that modifies this and in SAB

Thanks

No, I've told you, if you have use hacked Aero.msstyles, it needs to be renamed.

Ok thanks for you reply

Too bad not to have the choice (the hand) on the modifications made by SAB (we did not make any modifications on the hard disks design or something related in SAB)
We didn't even know SAB had an impact on this 

For aero.msstyles, some settings are modified with the registry, which does not work with a theme name modified (xxxxx.msstyles)
The registry applying the changes only on aero.msstyles it would seem (color of inactive title bar, eg)

Nevermind, we will stay with 3.5.7 which does not affect this design and see what to do when 3.5.7 will no longer support new versions of Windows
Or if we find how to change this in the theme but not yet found

EDIT : Or if it's possible with SAB to have color in inactive title bar (same as active title tbar),
But I don't think, it's already not possible to have options of ONE
