[Request] Release Taskbar control from Start11 for Other Software Control

- Registry Option?

from Stardock Forums

Just wondering if there could be someway in the future to release the Taskbar functionality completely from Start11 so other software can be used to control customizing the Taskbar. The immediate software I'd like to use is Windhawk, now that the mods being introduced are getting more and more intuitive, creative, and customizable.

However, I still love the functionality of Start11's Start Menu, which Windhawk cannot touch in my opinion.

It'd be great if Start11 could introduce some form of toggle, either in the config menu or as a Registry tweak , to completely ignore the Taskbar and leave it untouched.

My thanks in any event. I still love this program and what it brings, but I find I'm starting to crave more and feeling some FOMO!

Unfortunately we have to have some control in order to do things like actually open on a click of the start button.

What in particular do you think the taskbar in S11 is missing?

Truthfully, just all the bells and whistles you can get from Windhawk. Taskbar segments comes to mind, the animated dock that mimics macOS, some other customizations that just bring the Taskbar more personality than Start11 currently offers. I've seen a lot of customization videos on YouTube that show off the potential of stylizing the Taskbar, but Start11's Start Menu is irreplaceable for me, hence why I am asking with my luckiest fingers crossed!
