Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com December 10 news, Start11 1.36stable version was officially released today. This update does not introduce any new features, but fixes a large number of BUG found in previous versions, optimizes the stability of the software, and enhances existing features.

Start11 1.36 stable version focuses on improving compatibility with WindowsBlinds 11 applications and providing a more consistent experience. Another noteworthy change is the improved startup process, which fixes visual problems after the system is rebooted, and adjusts the UI elements of Windows 11 in light or dark mode.

CTOnews.com learned that this is a program that allows users to customize the Windows start menu and taskbar. Like previous versions of StartX products, Start11 allows users to restore the start menu, make it like previous versions of Windows, and customize and enhance its functionality.

Users can download Start11 1.36 from Stardock's official website or the "About" page in the app. This update is free for all existing customers, and new customers can buy Start11 for $5.99 on the official website or on Steam (with a 30-day free trial).

The following is the update log for Start11 stable version 1.36:

Fixed an issue with incorrect data in the operating system's taskbar minimum width entry, resulting in very small taskbar buttons.

Fixed possible crash when dragging icons from left to right in Windows 10 style without the existence of groups.

The compatibility with WB is further improved.

Fixed an issue where the skin did not work correctly in Win10 / Win11 style when the skin was not offset from the taskbar.

Fixed WB skin problem with animated start menu.

Fixed deviation-1 clipping of custom images for shortcuts in Win10 style.

Fixed an issue where the two lines of the taskbar of WB on Win11 were not aligned.

Fixed that the taskbar has a solid background when using WB themes and whether or not to use obscure themes on the taskbar, as indicated here.

Improved compatibility with WindowBlinds 11.

Fixed other possible misalignment of taskbar thumbnails.

Fixed an issue where the taskbar could not be resized sometimes on 22H2.

Fixed an issue where the small taskbar and system tray icons were cut into one row instead of two when using the enhanced taskbar with a single-line taskbar on 22H2.

Optimized the startup speed of Start11

Fixed an issue where the system tray icon on the 22H2 could not redraw the background of the / network + sound icon in a few cases.

Fixed a problem with dragging taskbar buttons. If you leave the taskbar area, it jumps between insertion points and does not allow any dragging to succeed.

Fixed resource leaks found when used with WB11.

The participation Cortana mode has been adjusted to address a potential problem, that is, if you open Cortana before the start menu, it does not always participate.

The Win11 menu has been modified. If you disable Start11 search, the search bar will disappear by default, but it will also follow the option to show / hide it.

Adjust the search pattern in the Win7 skin to make it lightweight

Change to Start11 operation, hoping to solve the PowerShell problem when some users turn off their computers under edge conditions.

This change may affect support for third-party applications that can launch Start11, such as DisplayFusion. It should detect this correctly, but if you do not add a registry key of type "1" called AllowThirdPartyTaskbars to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ SOFTWARE\ Stardock\ Start8\ Start8.ini\ Start8, you should revert to the old system.

Fixed an issue where recoloured start menu textures do not refresh when the color changes using the operating system's key colors.

When the taskbar is at the top of the screen, the icon overflow (hidden icon) of the new Win11 taskbar (insider dev / Beta) now displays correctly.

When Start11 is allowed to enhance the taskbar with the operating system registration key MinWidth stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Control Panel\ Desktop\ WindowMetrics, support for taskbar button size settings (unless there is not enough space) has been added, which, unlike Win10, will correctly scale the dpi, allowing consistency on multiple monitors with different zoom factors.

Adjusted the exit / shutdown menu in dark taskbar mode to use the dark menu instead of the bright menu.

Adjust to resolve the problem that the lines of the taskbar in 22H2 are too transparent in dark mode.

Adjusted Win11 22H2's default taskbar transparency in dark mode because the taskbar is slightly too transparent by default.

Fixed a crash if you move the mouse over the menu when you change the custom icon in the Win10 menu (or the custom picture in the Win11 menu).

Fixed an issue where excessive changes in the title bar title in the application caused the taskbar to overrefresh, resulting in a lag problem in the taskbar with the enhanced taskbar enabled.

Fixed crash when searching for more than 31 characters in a word.

Dragging two or more items to the Win11 group in the menu no longer leads to resorting to placing the latest items on the far left.

Resolved an issue where the progress bar on the combined taskbar button does not always display correctly.

Fixed an issue where some pinned shortcuts (imported from the operating system menu) do not display the jump list when you right-click in Win10/11 menu mode

Solved the problem that the steam application could not be fixed to the win7 / modern menu from the search

When using centered taskbar mode on 22H2, the taskbar search mini preview should reposition itself correctly after a brief pause in the initial display.

The WB skin should now support blurring the background of the startup menu (Win7 / modern). WB 11 Beta 2 may be required

All program sequences in Win10/11 style are shown in respecting the icon settings of the folder, rather than using the default icon.

When using the enhanced taskbar on Windows 11, the taskbar thumbnail pop-up window no longer partially leaves the screen when a single application has a large number of windows.

When using the enhanced taskbar in central mode, the position of the thumbnail pop-up window is adjusted.

Fixed an issue where you cannot right-click the first 50 pixels of the taskbar when using the center mode of the enhanced taskbar in Win11.

Fixed double animation when WFX start menu animation was enabled (Start11 animation must be disabled in Start11 to use).
