Added Windows 11 and Windows 10 start menus

They are both cut off at bottom running Windows 10 Home 22H2 19045.2311

Reduced 63%
Original 1323 x 728


For the record, the issue reported is solved and may occur if you have the "Offset the menu from the taskbar" set to "Never". It's been reported to the devs.

I get "WindowBlinds is not installed correctly on this PC" after downloading and installing Windows Blind beta 3. I've had Start11 running for a while without any issues. Now I added Fences 4 and WindowBlinds. Start11 and the taskbar changed appearance when WindowBlinds was installed, but I cannot get anything working apart from that. PC is restarted but still the same issue.

TouchTasks - Access tasks with ease on Windows touchscreens.

Have you tried earlier betas and had the same issues on those? I had lots of problems with beta 2 and 3 and only two issues with beta 1 winrar and Revo uninstaller, in beta 3 none of the store apps would skin. I'd get a hold of beta 1 uninstall 3 and wait for the next beta.

When purchasing the product, I don't see anywhere it being described as being a yearly subscription. However, I recently learned my yearly 'subscription' expired. I thought I was buying this software? It really seemed like it. Smh.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. If you purchase standalone product individually it has no subscription, but if you purchase ObjectDesktop Suite it is subscription base. But, the software still works after your subscription expired, just that you can not download any new updates or upgrades. For more you can refer here: https://forums.stardock.com/486310/object-desktop-support-faq#objectdesktop

Thanks

WinRAR 6.11

Revo Uninstaller 2.4.1

I do notice that when maximised Revo goes slightly out of bounds (part of the window is off-screen on the right). I haven't tried any other skins yet.

Also, Windows Store is fixed 👍 ... by no longer being skinned. Happy medium, I guess.

Revo does something weird with the window frames. It seems to be quite buggy at least for my version. Resizing the window will cause it to grow and cannot be shrunk down. Never tested it with WB, I will see if mine does the same when I get home from work.

Win10 v 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2251)
WB11 Beta3

Two things:

1. The System Color "Explorer folder bar background (Win10)" is being ignored (except for the single pixel vertical line to the right of the scrollbar of the Navigation Pane). "Explorer background (Win10)" is being used for the Navigation Pane.

2. The Explorer statusbar color setting is ignored (not adjusted) when making a WBConfig Color Adjustment.

 

Thanks again.

I don't see your issue on my system. Are you sure you haven't made some edits causing it? And it sems you haven't updated your Windows to latest version. I'm running Windows 10 22H2 19045.2311

I just do the Windows updates when they get dumped on me.  Did have one a couple of weeks ago, so I don't think I'm "stuck".

Yes, I have made edits to use the new statusbar setting in WB11, I don't believe it existed in WB10.  That very setting is what's not getting recolored.  By the way, I'm not using any of the Explorer utilities (Old New Explorer, etc.).

Ah, I do see that I have the "Annual Update" sitting out there, waiting for me to click on it.  Looks like it came out about a month ago, I'm inclined to let it sit for a couple more months unless it impacts the Stardock software.  I prefer to let those stay in the oven until they're well-cooked.
