  • Auto-hide when covered by maximized window

Restore and improve File Explorer and Control Panel​

  • Dark mode support for more dialogs

Restore and improve context menus​

  • Fix UI inconsistencies in Win32 apps
  • Don't be blue: recolor UI in all windows apps
  • Negative resource usage: fewer RAM used, fewer processes started, faster startup





StartAllBack For Windows 11 has been released.
It's an RC release. I haven't tested it yet as I have Start11 installed.

Edit: I have now tested it. It's working quite well.
Apart from a great start menu, you can also have the Enhanced Classic Taskbar back.
This means (for example) that you can have an uncombined and unlocked Taskbar.
You will now also be able to enhance the Taskbar clock using T-Clock Redux or similar.

You can also change Windows Explorer to Ribbon UI or Simple UI.

You can get it Download

As a side note:
I would use the W10 flyouts if it wasn't for the fecking annoying focus rectangle around everything!!!

Is there any way to eliminate that annoying behavior?

If I throw my cursor hard into the corner and click or right click, the SAB Start Menu and/or the WinX Menu will open fine, but, to middle-click the native W11 Menu to open, my cursor has to be closer to the center of the orb! 🤷‍♂️

Hello, I have an issue with Atomic alarm clock from build 3.7 (on SaB 3.6 is works normally). Each time after boot I got to state on the first picture and after changing checkbox "Use a new font for classic UI" in Advanced tab (doesn't matter if check or uncheck, simply change state) it starts work properly (on tle last pic). Is possible to check, where is the issue? Thanks I forgot Os Win11 23h2 22631 and SaB 3.8RC, but I have the same issue on different builds of Win11 and SaB all versions after 3.6.16
