[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="17" id="3827339"] In windows 10 style, use a more faded background for tiles is not making any noticeable changes for me. It will only impact tiles you have not altered the background colour for and only those without a custom tile image as the background in those is part of the image. [/quote] Changing the color scheme to default did fix it for me as I d
That could be it. I have the single license that I purchased in the original Beta release. That either means I have a Beta License or they simply just forgot to plug the 5 - license version into the system. I am sure someone will be around to clarify soon
It is open for me as I am not a object desktop user myself. The link works fine for me as long as I am logged in under the email I bought start 11 from originally. There is both a download option and a download beta option listed
I can report that I am able to download the Beta version from the link provided here https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products I like that they are separated the way they are between Beta and release, I think that was handled well. I will now test star
That sounds hard, I don't think there is anything more you could have done in that situation and don't ever blame yourself. Sorry for your loss

That is a start 11 purchase not Groupy, lol. Or is he upset over start 11 on one device? Hopefully Groupy still runs 5 licenses since it is older, I do understand the newer software such as start11 and Fences4 though Note, Beta testers were never given the option to purchase 5 licenses. That is where the issue is.

You mean to tell me we are actually supposed to read those things, I always thought they were just there to quickly scroll past to install my software. Thank goodness it didn't ask for my first born because I would have totally missed that as well. [e digicons]XD[/e]
I do think that holds very true for Windows 10 users. I may in fact be wrong here but I do know that how I am using my pc is changing a bit since migrating to Windows 11 and to explain my point I kind of have to get into that some... Firstly, that biggest change in Windows 11 is the start menu. I hate the start menu here and am very thankful for start 11, great product by the way. However, even when using Start 11 it has still changed how I use the PC, my desktop is empty now and all
Groupy basically has the ability to give explorer tabs at the top, at least that is the main function I would use it for. You can also group other opened programs to the tab list. If you are a Windows 11 user then Fences 4 will be the better program. This is because Fences is in active development to be built around the advantages offered on Windows 11 whereas Groupy, while still compatible, is not going through the same development process. So far Start 11 and Fences 4 are th
Same here. For me explorer patcher is a bit of a band aid fix while I wait for 1.1 to be developed. I have no clue how long that will take until 1.1 is ready though.
That is a possibility, I had to completely uninstall explorer patcher before the update and had only start 11 installed for a while. I only recently reinstalled explorer patcher. I wonder if you uninstalled the dxgi.dll in the windows folder and then reinstalled it if that would fix the issue for you. If it does not then there must be some sort of settings you have enabled or adjusted that I do not. I am able to get transparency to work fine under start 11 settings.
I am not seeing the issue at all with windows 11 v 22000.346, latest explorer patcher installed and start 11 v 1.0. I do know that explorer patcher broke for a while with the Beta channel release of Windows and the new patch was designed to fix that.... It is possible that if you have the latest explorer patcher downloaded that it will work better with the Beta Channel build of Windows 11, otherwise maybe using an older build of explorer patcher will fix your issue?
I have an idea when it comes to taskbar features. An optional icon that can be added to the taskbar that is integrated with fences 4 that allows windows peak to be activated with a mouse click.
It is more a generational thing that has to do with the current Windows OS. First is the trend in Windows (XP) = perfect / (Vista) = weirdness / (7) = perfect / (8) = weirdness / (10) = perfect / (11) = weirdness Second is Stardock builds new stuff every generation Windows 8 = fences 2 / 10 = f3 / 11 = f4 Lastly is demand for stardock products 8 = high / 10 = low / 11 = high This is why there is new stardock products being pushed a
I can not even begin to imagine the frustration you must have felt running a 70 dollar GPU in that!! I am not even sure I would have even allowed a 70 dollar gpu in the same room as that pc for fear it would have cramped its style [e digicons]:P[/e] Safe to say that is more then I have ever spent on a pc. Were you a software engineer at the time of the purchase? it does looks like a step up from a high end gaming pc. sweet rig!
[quote who="LightStar" reply="9" id="3826581"] I bought an Acer TC-895-UA92 a little while back so that I could run Windows 11, it comes with a 512GB NVME, 12GB of DDR4 RAM , a DVD drive and 1GB of onboard graphics (I will probably upgrade to a good video card later). But as is, it has a WEI score of 8.0 (lowest being the graphics). Boots in 20 seconds! Cost: $500 US (listed as open box). Only drawback is you cannot add many things to it, you can only add a larger NVME or a graphics card
Thank goodness. Of all the parts in a PC, the GPU is the one you don't want to break especially if you have an expensive one. There was already a GPU shortage driving up prices, now you have the holidays, Windows 11 aiming to drive up hardware sales with their strict hardware policy, and the demand for Ray Tracing. There is a chance you may pay even more then the original 1,100 now and that is if you even find the GPU you are looking for. I'd love to take advantage of that new ray tracing tec

I do like the look of Just Revans Tiles! It kind of reminds me of the "custom grid tile background" on modern theme only with a few more background images added in. Is there any chance of bringing that feature that is a part of modern theme over to the windows 10 theme? I also miss the ability to adjust the tiles transparency.

Yeah, I can see the frustration there to build a product. But, it is a double edged sword in that regard. I think it was steam that originally discovered that you can make money to fund your beta projects and make games / software that could not otherwise be developed by selling your stuff as early releases. I do not think the Beta funding model is going anywhere anytime soon as more companies are adopting that strategy. As a developer though, I am sure it creates a lot of head aches as you h
You grade their work. 15 dollar 5 pack license means they get an "A" 6 dollar 1 license means they get a "B" 0 dollars you simply uninstall Start 11 and everything goes back to Windows 11 means they get an "F"
The best way to use fences in my opinion. 1. create a new fence and move it either to the top or bottom of the screen until it looks like it is clicking in place and resize it to your liking 2. Double click on the tab bar to turn the fence into a drawer so it drops down (optional) 3. Under the view option in the tab bar All folder folder portals should be switched to list (large) view it really increases productivity and you can make a nice drop down tab (optio
Isn't Start Is Back and explorerpatcher the exact same thing? A registry hack that tricks Windows 11 into downloading and using Windows 10 's taskbar. I am pretty sure Stradock is going the route of completely rebuilding the taskbar and making its own custom software from scratch which is better but takes a lot more time then a registry edit does.

I am one of those people that do actually have fun participating in Beta's and I do understand that things break in situations. This goes more for the more serious Beta testers as I know there is a crowd of people that do not understand the process... There is a very important concept when it comes to participating in beta's; the people that are participating want to be taken seriously and have their voice heard too. The reason for dropping out of the Windows 11 Beta would more or les

Very true. For all that the latest release broke, I can't actually see any of the actual benefits of it because they are just small fixes... I think it is time to turn the insider preview off at this rate. Anything to be at all excitied about when it comes to the future of Windows 11 seems to be coming from stardock at this point in time anyways.
