Thank you very much for introducing me to these great tips! However, I only want the taskbar to be centered. Is there a better way to do this? (TaskbarAl=1 had no effect)
Although the TaskBarAI (centred) tweak still works fine, it doesn't work when ExplorerPatcher is in use, I guess this is as the author states, Explorer Patcher re-enables the Win 10 taskbar. However we may see more features added to the start menu/taskbar with the start menu replacements now beginning to appear.
Your post makes no mention of any new features either. The existing post links to the announcement tweet, which in turn links to the page giving all info about it. Likewise Start11 doesn't have its own thread, and there is a dedicated thread to discuss Tweaks Fixes and Mods, again the new StartIsBack is linked there.
did you try reading the thread title? like even a little bit? and why would start11 need its own thread? it barely does anything different than start10
Thank you, yes just checked. Hadn't noticed that, nor is it mentioned on the home page. Updated main post. Can't be certain of course but I guess it may become redundant as the start menu replacement programs improve, if you use one of course. Eg: StartIsBack Beta allows classic context menus, small taskbar icons, etc.
