I had a Windows update yesterday and after that the Start button doesn't show anymore   

-Tried different settings in WB and start11 to No avail.

Which makes perfectly sense as Win 10 had no cropped function taskbar and all problems here refer to Win 11.

DrJBHL you must have some special build of Start11, because on my start11 v1.42 there is no such option..

I have no "special build" of any SD software. Look again.

So... I guess My skins have to come with special Instructions then.. PIN something to Taskbar for Startbutton Visibility & Press Far Left of the Button for it to Respond... -Happy days

No, the newest 1.42 build fixes that issue.

However you may find they have issues with taskbar button mouseover popups when using such an absurdly long start button.  Also if the user does not have Start11 then only the left most 55 pixels will show.

The ideal is 55 pixels wide.  The start button in insidian is 369 pixels.  This WILL cause issues and I cannot see why it is so wide given that about 50% of the right hand side is blank in every single frame.  Given that some users will also have a lot of visible system tray icons you could end up with very little space for taskbar buttons.

It's a matter of Design, I didn't want the taskbar buttons too close to it or under the Startmenue...

By all means of respect for Your Your designs, I can't think of anyone wanting the startbutton taking 20 % place of their taskbar on full HD with 1920 pixels (which I believe still is the most used resolution.)

Perhaps a solution here is a wide start button version and a substyle thats a smaller one?

Target two markets?

Sounds like a win-win to me.

Although that IS a solution, I am not going to take the time to Update all my (MANY) blinds with Wide startbuttons in that fashion as that would take too long, and since Master-skinning soon is but a Memory around here I will Take the easy, less time consuming route and Inform buyers on this matter on My site and skin for the NEW requirements from now on... -Thanks for all the Help.

its pretty easy to tell when you only have 3 or 4 active skinners these days, when there used to be dozens and dozens back in the day...

You are by far, the best Master Skinner for my needs neone6, so this is a bit of a worry as i have loads of your and Vamps older stuff. I am reading and keeping up with current issues, waiting for my entry point back into using WBs 11 and Start 11. I do not fancy Starting my collection over again, so i think i still have to wait, read and watch things in these topics carefully. I really do hope we get to a point, were you feel free to "Create Master Skins Your Way Again" as mostly, that is how i like things too.
