Hey Neil Have you looked into GCC4TI yet? No huge rush or anything just curious if what I posted before was helpful or if you need anything more.

How can people who don't have Object Desktop download and try Start11 1.15 Beta? Only version 1.1 is on the official website. Is there a link to download version 1.15?

Thanks.

There is some kind of problem when using more than one monitor.

The time on my second monitor is overlapping with the start button

Also when changing Resolution, the taskbar is beeing put to the wrong location.

Last but not least, the Vertical distance between Symbols seems to be overwritten somehow.
Dont really know when exactly this happened

We have resolved the issue with it minimizing.

The multiple monitor thing is alas a flaw in the design of the framework they use.  The window on the taskbar remains on the primary monitor and thus thats where the button will appear.

Thanks Neil. Is it possible to move the owner window? One thing I noticed is if I move the window to another monitor then minimize it the button moves to the correct taskbar. Once I restore it it moves back to the primary taskbar even tho the window still hasn't moved.

If nothing else I guess Im stuck with AMM. It sad because it won't work with WB if that does come to w11. May also suggest an option to turn off taskbar support in Start11 so it doesnt conflict with other taskbar programs like AMM. Otherwise I can't use Start11 either.

Hello.

I have downloaded Object Desktop Manager from this link https://cdn.stardock.us/downloads/public/software/objectdesktop/objectdesktop_setup.exe

And I have also downloaded Start11 30 days trial version from the official website.

In the Objet Desktop Manager I have checked the box where it says "Show beta downloads".

Then I go to Start11 and tell it to check for updates, but it says, "Your copy of Start11 is up to date." Version 1.11

It is not updated to version 1.15 Beta.

Thank you and sorry for so much inconvenience.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. What do you see if you click on application list? Does it show update button? Screenshot below show my system. Since I already install Start11 V1.15 beta the update button show up as "configure".

Start11 beta 1.5-j134 (win11 ver: 21H2 bld. 22000.556)

I am still seeing the same 'bug' that existed in some previous builds of Start11.  After a few uses of Start11 it stops popping up near the lower part of the monitor and pops up near the top.  start11 near top of monitor.  I don't know if it the interplay with some other program I am using. I don't have time to turn each skin off an use start 'n' number of times to see if it evenually happens again.  But I have some info: 2 monitors 2560x1440, deskscape 11-10.96, windowsfx 6-12, fences 4-4.00.03, keyboard launchpad 1.6, and zvirtualdesktop 1.0.98.3.  I hope this helps fix this annoyance.

Why is it mandatory to buy Object desktop to get the Beta ? Those who bought Stardock 11 should also have access.

Even more that the ungroup feature for the taskbar is new in the Beta.

I believe it should be listed on your downloads page.

Windows 10 multiple monitor centering issue still not solved.

It's better now, sometimes both sides boot up centered.  But about every other time one of them is left justified.

Killing explorer.exe and reloading the shell fixes it.

Windows 10 21H2.

Toolbar button badges not working (for amount of new e-mails) at all.

And the widget button doesn't show temperature

The widget button is nothing to do with us.  Issues with that would have to be reported to Microsoft.

Which email client are you using?

Uninstall Start11, REBOOT, reinstall 1.15.  Is it working now?

Pressing "windows" key from full screen app ( like a game, VLC ) shows start menu but not the Taskbar.

It's very annoying.
