Such a good product

from Stardock Forums

Yeah I'm just coming here to say that I am such a fan of Start 11. I was just thinking "it would be so handy if each taskbar only showed icons for the windows that were on the display of that task bar" ... "hmm... I wonder if Start 11 can already do that?..."
!

Well finaigle me if it isn't the case that it already can!

I don't believe that option is available in the current version of Start11v2, but it has been requested several times.

Awesome! I'm glad you found that setting. Not sure when that was added, but definitely an improvement. :grin:

I don't use multiple monitors, so it was grayed out in my settings and I missed it in the change logs, or maybe it's always been there and I never saw it.

It has been there since the start of taskbar support.  But greyed out on non supporting systems to avoid confusion so less obvious without more than one monitor.

Improvement suggestion though, this should be a radio buttons option, not a dropdown. So that the software inspires you with the possibilities.
Although... I expect Microsoft doesn't support those in its forms APIs any more. :-/
In another 20 years time evrything will have advanced so much, that it just be one full screen advert with a command line prompt at the bottom, where you can enter either commands or an AI prompt.

Then someone will declare this ground breaking new concept called 'user friendly', and suggest 'graphcal user interfaces' and these amazing things called icons, with 8 bit 'color' graphics that enable you to 'quickly' pick out the option you are after. Oh and smart design that aims to reduce the navigation depth to 2 or at most three layers, rather than six or seven.
Anyone remember that? 'User friendly'. That concept needs to come back. I haven't heard anyone use that phrase for 15/20 years.
