  • Is there any way at all to reduce the size of the taskbar (and thereby gain additional space icon/open application space)?
    I did a bunch of searching and am using startallback.com. Source: about 1 year ago
  • PSA: If anyone wants a better start menu experience on Windows, install Open Shell
    For a paid option that is awesome(which I personally use) is StartAllBack: https://startallback.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Think the upgrade to windows 11 will always be free for windows 10 users?
    Assuming you're talking about the Taskbar, yeaahhhhh that's a thing with Windows 11 unfortunately. You can use something like StartAllBack or Start11 (both of which are paid) to restore that functionality. Either that, or you can use ExplorerPatcher (free) to restore the Windows 10 Taskbar and thus its functionality. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Aero tadkbar in Windows 10 using a new tool I wrote
    Pretty cool, but tools like that already exist (TranslucentTB, StartAllBack). Source: over 1 year ago
  • Available today: The Windows 11 2022 Update
    Yup, it is sadly still unusable without https://startallback.com/ :(. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
