Will Start11 aim to restore the taskbar features of Windows 7-10?

September 23, 2021 2:39 PM from

I already have a Start10 license but there's no current mention of Start11 attempting to restore the taskbar features of Windows 7-10.

I know StartIsBack's current preview build states: "Classic taskbar with all its features, revamped new icons and round corners."

I'm happy to pay for either. I just want to restore taskbar custom toolbars, show button text, not combine icons etc.

Specifically, does it currently allow:

Taskbar custom toolbars
Showing button text
Not combining icons

If so, I'm sold 👍🏻

It does not currently, no.

That said, depending on demand, other options may be added.

Is there a technical way that Start11 could allow the taskbar to be positioned vertically? I'd very happily pay for that!

We know a new build is coming 7th October however does this have the never combine option?

This is the only feature I need (and about 6000 other users on the MS insider feedback hub) before moving to Win11 on my dev desktop.

Thanks
