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 top 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).

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.

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

[–] klyde@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] pakrat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It's a one time purchase. 100% worth it!

[–] karlthemailman@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

One time for one PC for personal use

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Wait, y’all still have Start buttons?!
