The biggest thing I want is to just move the task bar to the top of the screen. I can't use my finger on my Surface tablet unless I remove the keyboard. Such idiocy..
Use StartAllBack. Not only does it restore the old Taskbar features, it also lets you do even more things, like have the Start button on the left but keep the icons centered, and customize the transparency level (among other things). You can even use your favorite era of Start menu (7, 8.1, 10). Personally I'm using Win7's Start Menu with Windows 11-related buttons added in (like Settings).
(Edit: It does cost $5 after a 90 day trial, but that's less than the cost of lunch, and with all the features you're getting I'd gladly pay 10x the amount.)
This right here is why I run Linux. Holy hell. It just does whatever I want, for free.
Except support HDR. Which is the main reason why I use Win 11. No other OS does HDR properly.
I think that's been working on Wayland with some gotchas for different applications. I forget, I use normal resolutions.
favorite era of start menu
no XP
mfw
I think you can do XP too. Haven't checked in awhile. Install the program and try for yourself.
StartAllBack is good but I personally use and prefer Start11
Start11 is much better. I have a license for both and I periodically check in on StartAllBack every couple of months and nothing has made me want to go back to it.
Awesome, thanks for the tip!
$5 one time or subscription?
It's a one time purchase. 100% worth it!
One time for one PC for personal use
Wait, y’all still have Start buttons?!
I don't have W11. I have had my taskbar at the top of my screen since the 90s. W11 doesn't allow this ?
Nope, it's locked to the bottom.
How horrible. Who's bright idea was that and were flying chairs involved?
That's just stupid. I never have my taskbar anywhere else because it makes me ill. But fuck that, you can't tell me where to put it..
Not only is it forced to the bottom.
It's in the middleand you can't ungroup tabs.The start menu can be in the left corner in Windows 11 just like older Windows versions.
Ah I thanks for the correction.
That's not what they're talking about. They're talking about the taskbar icons. Power users like myself ungroup those because it's annoying and not at all helpful. It stops being icons and goes back to the regular rectangles. I'm assuming you've used icons for so long you forgot what it looks like. Win11 let's you do it in dev releases but I just use Start11 because it basically lets you do whatever you want with the taskbar.
I made no error.
My favourite is when I'm trying to click a notification tray thing and shit like teams messages keep popping up on top. Who the hell designed it so notifications come up on top of tray pop ups? So fucking stupid.
This angers me so, so much and every messenger app does it.
Dude right??? I've been losing my fucking mind. My home computer, work computer 2, and work computer VM are all top bar mounted. Work computer 1 for upgraded to 11 and it's pissing me off. Every week I check for a way to change it back.
I think side is the best. When almost all monitors are wider than they are tall it makes more sense to put it on the short edge to use up less space.
You can do this with TaskbarX
