Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Does the issue appear if you apply Stardock's WB theme like Diamond etc?

Thanks

Ok. That's Moment 2. Which version of Start11 do you have installed? 1.4.11 or 1.4.2 beta?

Tested... NONE of My Blinds startbuttons show.

-Set to Medium Taskbar, Left aligned Start Button, Centered taskbar buttons.

Try updating to 1.4.2 beta, if basj agrees.

Maybe because the start button is hardcoded to 48x48 pixels.

It might be of that over size start button which Neil did mentioned that it will be limited to 48x48 pixel. Not sure if it will shrink down or cut off.

Thank you,

Try as a test put in a 48x48 pixel and see if the Start button appear.

As a friend, I'd suggest redesigning your start buttons since MS won't redesign Windows11...

Update your Start11 in any case.

Surely Neil could come up with a work-around... He created WB11 And Start11 for god's sake....

I can't re design and RE-upload ALL hundreds of Win 10 skins !!!???

Reply #18 from WinCustomize Forums Top

This will render 20-40% of all uploaded skins useless (If you want the startbutton)

SERIOUSLY:typo:  o_O  o_O  o_O

Hardcoded...means it can't be changed. Update your Start11, in any case.

Then this IS really the END.

Actually the width limit is 55 pixels.  We added a new Windows 11 new start button section to WB11 for this specific reason.

The next update to WB will make the buttons shrink to fit that space whilst maintaining aspect ratio.

Unfortunately this is a limitation of using the Windows 11 native taskbar.

BUT if you use Start11 1.42 or later (currently in beta) and have enhanced taskbar enabled this limitation is removed as we have greater control.  That said if you have just one or two monitors this is allowed, if you have more than 2 monitors then only the primary monitor has a bigger start button.

The button shows in the Beta, but Mouseover or Pressing it does Nothing :(

Hmm, it should be.

Can you give an example of a skin with the issue please?
