Start 11 never combine taskbar buttons

Start 11 never combine taskbar buttons

Any chance you could add option to never combine taskbar buttons and/or when taskbar full? For some reason wise people at Micro$oft decided we only need these tiny little buttons that look barely any bigger than tray icons on ultra wide monitors...

Quoting serega_m,

Why anybody would like to be a free beta tester is beyond me, but lots of people are PAYING to be a beta (or sometimes even alpha) testers in "Early Access" games, so what do I know? :)



Early access beta's was made popular by steam. There actually is a lot of good games out there that otherwise would have never been developed. This is because it was crucial for the beta testing to fund the game development.

By paying for Beta testing you become an investor. Usually this means that you help shape the product with your feedback. Take start 11 for example, before it was released it was in Beta as a paid product. But, user's comment's and suggestions are really what helped shape its final design. The same could be said for Windows 11 beta program. Feedback helps shape the product. Some people enjoy being a part of that process and therefore invests in the product.

With drag and drop features or never combined tabs in start 11. That will also need to go through a beta testing phase with people that are willing to be early adopters. It won't go straight to release just as Windows 11 new build will not.

 

I see, well, more power to them, but certainly it is not for me as I prefer to pay for the final product and enjoy it rather than "invest in the developoment", but that's me :)

In fact I didn't know that Stardock has invented paid betas - how? :)


ObjectDesktop subscribers have had access to betas forever.

ExplorerPatcher

 

Is ExplorerPatcher able to be used with Start11? I'm currently using StartAllBack so that I don't have to combine taskbar items, but I like that options in the Start11 start menu better and not having to combine the taskbar items is the only thing stopping me from using Start11.

Working like a charm here together until Start 11 is capable of it.

Explorer patcher is 100 percent compatible with all stardock software. Start 11 and explorerpatcher have been a great combo early.

Additionally, start 11's taskbar features are just about done and it will come with never combined tabs of its own according to a screen shot posted of it in action.

OK. I've installed ExplorerPatcher and Start11. I have a triple monitor setup and use DisplayFusion to manage the taskbar. Things are appearing correctly on my central monitor, but on the side monitors, it is just displaying the icon and not the window description. Any suggestions?

Nobody said it works with display fusion, which was not mentioned to be in use before. But I don't wonder about that. Logic says You should not have 3 programs handling the taskbar.

Hello.

I'm interested in buying Stardock Start 11, but before making the purchase I would like to know if the program incorporates or will incorporate in a future update the option "Combine taskbar buttons: never, always, when the bar is full"?, since Windows 11 does not have it as an option in the settings. There is another program that does have this feature, but that program does not have a very clear interface and I prefer Start 11.

Waiting for your answer.

All the best.
