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.

- New Win+Alt+T hotkey to toggle taskbar autohide
@Tihiy this doesn't work when taskbar has dynamic transparency enabled. It just toggles that specific setting, without hiding/showing the taskbar itself.

Is there a way to put all dialog boxes into dark mode?
It's not imperative, I was just wondering.

Win+Shift+T hotkey to toggle taskbar autohide
Critical improvements and fixes
Issue I've mentioned before still haven't been fixed. When automatic transparency is enabled and window is maximized (so when taskbar stops being transparent) it works, but when no window is maximized and taskbar becomes transparent, it still doens't want to hide, it just toggles transparency only.

StartAllBack 3.8.11 to test
In that version this:
- Stripped '- File Explorer' suffix from Explorer windows
was functioning for all File Explorer versions, so the Win11 version as well.

but now with:
StartAllBack 3.8.11 10 October 2024 (stable)
this:
  • Stripped '- File Explorer' suffix from 7/10 Explorer windows
Suddenly only is for Win7/Win10, which I don't want to use (because the colored tabs on the title bar when you hoover certain file types are very disturbing).

I really was glad the suffix in File Explorer finally was gone, but now it's back again on the taskbar:

002512.jpg

BTW. Language is Dutch, don't know if that's making any difference.

For the time being I'll stay with the test version, which for me is better.

With French UI, File explorer did not come back in the taskbar
But I use Windows 10 for the explorer (I don't know if it's related)

Yes, that is related.
In the Windows 10 version of the explorer it is OK, in Dutch language as well.

After installing the testversion of SAB 3.8.11 it was OK for Windows 11 version of File Explorer as well:
for all File Explorer versions, so the Win11 version as well.

But after installing the stable version of SAB 3.8.11 that is in the old situation again.
So @Tihiy must have changed something in that stable version...

I don't have an account on that forum.
In the past I several times tried to make one.
First I got messages that only old account were possible, no new accounts allowed.
Then after a very long time that message was gone and I could register.
But the confirming email never came. I tried it several times and looked into my spam boxes as well, but no mails from MSFN.
Then I decided not to try again.
@Tihiy is looking as well in this topic here in ElevenForum, so I reckon he'll see my 'report' here as well.

It's been a little over 15 years since I registered, I don't know about registration issues
Especially because at the time, I was following nuhi's software, which was on this forum (now we communicate differently)

The change is intended (as all tabbed apps do have suffix and purpose of app is not to change new UX nor to break accessibility). No, I will not add checkboxes, sorry.

Same problem for me, except I do have an account, but I've lost the password. I never get the password reset email (of course I did check spam). I also tried contacting the moderators several times and get no reply. It's like a ship that's still sailing with no crew.
