Disable automatic grouping on Office apps in Groupy Stardock Forums

I don't want my office apps to be grouped, especially when there is only one instance/app running (because it adds the top tab bar to it, which doesn't go well with the office design). No matter what, I can't get it to not-group it, even when disabling automatic grouping. Any help is appreciated! EDIT: literally 1 minute after making this thread, i found the solution - click the 3 dots in the tab bar and untick "always show tab bar for this app". Problem

Make custom Groupy design WITHOUT curtains? in Groupy Stardock Forums

Hello, I've been using Groupy for quite a while on Win10, together with a design that I made in curtains. I recently upgraded to Windows 11. Since Curtains isn't compatible with Windows11, I uninstalled Curtains and thus my custom Groupy-design that I set in the curtains-theme is also gone. However, the standard Groupy theme isn't 100 % compatible with Windows11 due to the rounded corners. My question is: How can I apply that custom groupy design directly in groupy (as

Thanks - while it's not a definite yes it gives me hope at least. :) Fingers crossed though since the functionality IS already there... Any ETA on 1.1?

Is support for different layers of transparency for the W11-Menu coming? in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I already made a similar thread about this. Please, I need to know if this feature is coming officially. In Curtains/Start10 you could set a background image with different layers of transparency in one image. For Start11, right now it is only accessible through a workaround and it's annoying to go through the steps after each reboot. Look at this example screenshot, the bottom area where the shortcuts to folders etc. are has 20 % transparency while the top area has 50 %: <img

Found a way for Start11 to respect the Curtains-Start10-Texture in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

I found a workaround to show the texture I set in curtains (for the Start10-Background) to get applied in the W11-Start-menu-Style. That's pretty neat since it allows for varying levels of transparency (if you select a custom background directly from Start11 there is only one solid level of transparency as far as i can tell). Is this a bug or just a feature coming in a new version that hasn't been made available yet? example, this was my start10-background: <img src="h

Reply to Bugs in Start11 (and a question) in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Hi, what makes you think it is not the default theme? The transparency? This has been achieved via Start11 settings. (the very first screens were with curtains applied, that is true, but the latest were with the standard design) Very weird, especially the missing padding. But I'll probably use the win11-style or win10-style anyway from now on, so I guess it's not that important...

Reply to Changing themes activates the "show accent colour on titlebars" in windows settings in Curtains Stardock Forums

Hello, yes, my settings of each skins are exactly like that, however it still turns the window title bar coloring back on in windows 10 settings after applying a skin...

Like I said, the problems are unrelated to curtains as I have used the standard windows10 stylefor these screenshots...

Changing themes activates the "show accent colour on titlebars" in windows settings in Curtains Stardock Forums

Whenever I switch themes in Curtains, the setting in windows-settings to show the accent colour on titlebars will switch on. Is there a toggle in curtains to switch this behaviour off?

Reply to Bugs in Start11 (and a question) in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

One more thing/bug: If you want to place a separating line above the shutdown-icon in modern design, it doesn't show, even if you place it correctly in the settings. I think this is because something is cut off and overlaps (you can see that something is cut off if you hover over the button above shutdown and then on shutdown, the top will not be rounded, indicating something cut off): <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/70/80/7080330/15a49700-b712-41fc-afd

Reply to Bugs in Start11 (and a question) in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Hi, I use a theme I have created myself. But the problems persist even if I use the win10-base theme. Can you post a screenshot of how it looks on your machine? It's weird that I am the only one with these problems? Here is another screenshot: The modern layout doesn't have any padding on the left (and additionally weird looking corners), while the win10-design does have the padding. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/70/80/7080330/d1812f5f-84c0-49c3-818d-94

LIke I said, this was a fresh install. But just to make sure, i uninstalled and reinstalled again. The same problems persist.

Reply to Bugs in Start11 (and a question) in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

After some testing I think a few of these are due curtains being installed. However the ugly borders/outlines persists, as well as the menu not having any padding on the left side if using the "modern" layout...

Bugs in Start11 (and a question) in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Hi, I installed the trial of Start11 so I guess I am using the latest version. My OS is Win10 21H2. I have several problems: Settings do not seem to be saved. For example, I pick rounded corners, on the next click it will show the rounded corners and on the next click they will be sharp again Sometimes the menu has no padding on the left side from the screen, it's locked directly at the edge of the screen, while there is some space below between the st

Reply to Change font color of start menu on mouseover in Curtains Stardock Forums

1) It is a theme I created myself. Also, the color settings in Start10 are set to standard. 2) blueish turqoise Btw, this only happens with the "modern" layout of Start10. Win7-Style layout will correctly apply a dark color.

Change font color of start menu on mouseover in Curtains Stardock Forums

Hi, I can't change some of the font colors in the Start Menu. For example, the right column menu text on mouseover will always be WHITE in light mode no matter which font colors I change. I tried to change all the Start10-parameters, like Start10.Menubackground or .Tilebackground, but no dice. Is this broken or am I looking in the wrong place? <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/70/80/7080330/5d92fcf9-b09e-4a52-89bf-725ee10b0a2c.png" alt="" width="237" height="721

Is there anyway to add parameters to a shortcut or add it to the Windows Task Scheduler? I suppose so, but one needs to know the parameters for that :( It's really frustrating to switch manually all the time...

Upgrade Pricing Start11 in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Hi, the regular price for Start11 is 5,99 €. The discounted price (if you own start10) is 4,99 €. Is that an error? From what I can see, "all" you get from Start11 is rounded corners. There are no new features (please correct me if I am mistaken). KInd regards

Reply to Flunet Design start menu concept for Start11 in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

This is a great concept - it looks like a modernized version of the original windows 10 start menu (before the 2016-update ruined it and displayed the all apps list by default). I edited the existing start10 menu a bit, it doesn't look perfect but definitely better than the stock menu (in my opinion):
