@Neil Banfield (I hope I'm interpreting the name panel on the left correctly when assuming that you work for Stardock?) I've now had 3 attempts at bringing this problem to the attention of Stardock , starting in June this year, but so far have had no acknowledgement from Stardock that it has either read any of them or recognised that there is something that could do with fixing. I realise that thi
On June 29th, in the "Start 11 2.08 Release Feedback Thread", I wrote a note about how the app buttons work - and in particular how an app's open windows (e.g. open emails in Outlook) stack, or rather, DON'T stack, when the taskbar is located at the top of the screen. Start11 2.08 Release Feedback Thread » Forum Post by sdrohan (stardock.com) I'd hoped against hope that a fix for this might find its way int
One small observation about an app's open-window list. IMO the sort order should be the other way up, with the app itself at the bottom, nearest its taskbar button, and the open windows listing upwards, with the most recently-opened at the top. Having only just started using it since yesterday afternoon, it appears to be the other way around. The
@pelaird You're quite right - the NumThumbnails setting does work the way needed when the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen. Just a pity it feels so odd now, having it down there :-). But it's in a different league of usefulness having the open windows displayed in this way. Would be great to per
@pelaird - have just spotted your subsequent edit. Very interesting. No need to apologise. On the contrary, it's very interesting to discover that there's a difference in how this works, depending on the top vs. bottom position of the Taskbar. Thank you for taking the trouble to try it. Having someone else confirm the difference is a big help. I will try putting it at the bottom myself to see whether it works that way here too - expect that it will. Unfortunately,
I was grateful for your suggestion! Unfortunately, it does not work, at least not here. I'd have been even more grateful if it had :-) Very interesting to see that it works for you though. I wonder why there's a difference? But as you wonder, perhaps it's a question of whether the taskbar is at the top or the bottom? Not sure - it's a reasonable question. I ought to give it a go..... This is how it looked here, even after the registry change you suggested - I opened th
Sean Started a forum thread about this the other day (https://forums.stardock.com/528587/page/1/#3934342) - about how the Taskbar button stacking works at the moment (really badly!) - and pelaird kindly chipped in with some suggestions, but I thought I'd try to bring it to the attention of the Stardock Team directly. This is how Taskbar stacking works on Win 11 without trying the "enhanced" options. That compressed menu of open windows for any one app (e.g. open emails in Outl
P.S. Your tuition on how to get it to display more thumbnails did achieve a partial result, so it's better than it was, for which, my thanks! Harry
"Is this not what you get when setting the NumThumbnails to "0?"" Sadly, no. This is what I see on this Win11 box:- Have included regedit so you can see how it's set. The system was rebooted after making that change. The screenshot I included
Interesting - thank you. Yes, it does indeed change things, and more usable, so thank you. But it's still a bit clumsy! I can't pretend that I really like it :-) It doesn't revert to how these things used to work, which is to present the list of open emails as a vertical list, once it gets beyond the capacity to show them as individual icons horizontally. For example, here is a Win10 box on my desk:- <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/55/22/
Dear Mr Laird Thank you for responding - very kind. Unfortunately, that process doesn't quite do as I'd hoped! There was no NumThumbnails DWORD in the registry, so I added one, and set its decimal value to 0. Rebooted. Was hoping to see the 16 emails I'd left open when rebooting (on purpose, so that they auto-re-opened) to appear as a vertica
What is the name for the feature in Start 11 which stacks on the Taskbar - when hovering over that app's icon - icons for open windows in any one application? In other words, if I have a load of open emails in Outlook, when I hover over the Outlook button, it shows me a stack of buttons to the right of the main application button, so the already-open email that you want to view can be selected. Or it does as long as there are no more than 15 open emails. As soon as a 1
