StartAllBack

Don't like it! Can't have colored Title Bars!
Went back to 3.5.6

I gotta say it's actually insane how fast and easy this program updates. From seeing your post to updating mine, it was maybe 5 seconds, and 5 clicks.

It doesn't really update anything, it just re-hooks the shell with fresh dll's.

Well it's still an update…

Does this update keeps my colored selected contextmenu-items intact ?
If not , will not update............

As far as I can tell, it's just Explorer Title Bars remain black! Everything else seems unchanged.

Ok , will try , if its not am improvement will roll back !

Just uninstalled previous completely , rebooted, installed latest ...................did ( again!) not encountered any differences , compared with previous !
Maybe , Im using the Explorer-settings only ( so no taskbar and/or startmenu )...........

I'm curious what "mode" users who are using StartAllBack? Are you using Remastered WIndows 7, Kinda 10 or Proper W11?

I found I had nothing but frustrating issues when using StartAllBack in W7 mode.

Current version of mine is 3.5.6 and I find 'Check for updates' doesn't launch anything. If I click on www.startallback.com then that works taking me to their website and I can download the new version 3.5.7.
After reading previous posts I am not desperate to update to 3.5.7 but shouldn't the 'Check for updates' link work? Is anyone else having the same problem?

I get a prompt. Do you have notifications turned off?

Yes I have Windows Notifications switched off but other apps/programs tell me if an update is available when I open them. For example Thunderbird, VLC Media Player, Audacity, PicPick and others. StartAllBack does not tell me about available updates. So that's two issues: - SAB is not notifying me of updates (like other apps do) and the 'Check for updates' link doesn't work.

'Check for updates' link doesn't work.............no problem , if a new version has been released , you will find it very soon everywhere on the internet !

Yes, but I shouldn't have to. They are two bugs that need fixing so best that I point them out in case SAB developers are watching this thread.

Yeah, I noticed that SAB utilizes the System Toast Notification..., most other programs have their own mechanism!
Gotta turn on notifications, I guess.

Thanks @Edwin - I turned on Notifications and the 'Check for updates' worked this time by showing the popup (photo). I'll now have to wait to see if I get notified about future updates without me having to click on 'Check for updates'.

I never have!
I've always had to click on the Check for Updates

Yep I think it doesn't auto check.

I use Windows 7 taskbar, Plain8 start menu, Win10 flyouts, AND Win11 explorer CommandBar. I didn't do it to be funny though, I just think that's what looks and works best. I'm not even joking. And no, I have no issues with it at all

These are my settings...
