Any news about the 32 bit version?? :(

For the developers... I even noticed a bug... After changing the screen resolution, the program fails to work and the the taskbar is no longer shown under the Start menu (when using the option "fit to screen")... It is necessary to enter in the program again, and click "apply" one more time... A simple workaround should be that the program will automatically apply again its task (what has to be done manually in this release)... Moreover, when the program is launched at startup, it is shown a window for a little time, that become a longer time for less powerful PCs...

It is not a critic, I only hope to be useful to the development of the program... thanks

Really like this program but have an issue to report. I have an issue where the start menu will not appear on the bottom. When I select BOTTOM (any size) the menu appears in the mid screen, not matter what I do it will not appear near the bottom, the top works fine though.

I am using a desktop DPI of 150% and experience the issue.

Confirmed when I went back to DPI 100% it goes on top or bottom correctly but I need a higher DPI. I have tried a few DPI settings over 100% and the issue still happens not matter the setting except 100%.

I really like the program good job, please try to knock on the DPI issue.

I'm so damn lucky to have found an alternative called ImmersiveTaille v2 that is do exactly the same thing as Start Menu Modifier or maybe StartIsBack (except the start menu). It works for my Windows 8.1 32-bit.

Some people see going backwards as progression.

 

Including Microsoft who should be returning the Start Menu in 8.1U2. For this reason, people use it and it's very productive. I do like MS' implementation as it has been shown so far in previews.

 

There's a reason MS is bringing it back, and a reason for apps like this ... the Start Menu works, and removing it was a giant leap backwards as far as desktop/keyboard/mouse/MDI/Multitasking/Data-centric computing goes.

      I will believe it when it happens. iOS 18 was heavily rumoured to be a massive overhaul with visionOS glass style UI elements. Never happened. I don't even believe the x26 naming scheme is real either, feels more like an April fools joke *shrugs* I'll be happy to be proven wrong. However, till Apple themselves say it's so I will remain skeptical.
    • Nothing Phone (2a) hits a sweet spot: Is this mid-ranger the best value for your money?

      Nothing Phone (2a) hits a sweet spot: Is this mid-ranger the best value for your money? by Paul Hill Are you in the UK and looking for a smartphone with a standout design, solid display, good battery life, and smooth software? Then the Nothing Phone (2a) stands out as a solid mid-range option, especially considering it’s discounted 36% from £349 to £222. To clarify, this is the 12GB+256GB Nothing Phone (2a), not the weaker 8GB+128GB model. I’ll cover what’s included with this phone, but if you’re convinced to pick it up, be aware that this is marked as a limited-time deal so don’t sit on your hands. What the Nothing Phone (2a) delivers (and where it stands out) Powering the Nothing Phone (2a) is a mid-range Mediatek Dimensity 7200 Pro processor, 12GB of RAM with an 8GB RAM booster, and an advanced cooling system to boost game performance and longevity. In terms of battery life, the Nothing Phone (2a) packs a 5,000 mAh battery that will keep the device running for up to two days. When the battery does drain, you have 45W fast charging which will take 40 minutes to get you to 100% battery. On the back of the phone there is a 50 MP Main (OIS & EIS) camera as well as a 50 MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, you get a 32 MP camera. This phone tries to punch above its weight with the camera with features like Ultra XDR and Portrait Optimiser. The display is pretty good too, it includes a 6.7-inch AMOLED with 1,300 nits peak brightness and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. This screen is ideal for gaming with its higher refresh rate and that cooling system I mentioned earlier will help it keep chugging along nicely. This phone came out in the first half of 2024, so you may be wondering what the software situation is. It initially shipped with Nothing OS 2.5 which is powered by Android 14, but this has since been upgraded to Nothing OS 3.0, powered by Android 15. Nothing has promised three major OS upgrades for this device, but one has been used up so expect Nothing OS releases based on Android 16 and Android 17 in the coming years. For those not familiar with Nothing OS, it has a strong reputation for being clean, smooth, and well-optimised, with little to no bloatware. If you’re coming from a brand like Xiaomi which packs its devices with bloatware and even ads, then the Nothing Phone (2a) should feel very clean. Finally, environmentalism has come more into focus over the last decade and while buying a second hand phone is best, Nothing has made decent efforts with this device by using recycled materials to keep the carbon footprint low. Should you buy it? At £222, the Nothing Phone (2a) is significantly reduced in price, making it a solid option for people looking for a mid-range device. If you like the unique design, clean software, good camera, and a strong battery life, then this device is definitely for you. The deal is marked as a limited-time deal and Amazon has marked it as an Amazon Choice suggesting that it’s a good phone to buy. It’s also at its lowest price, so you definitely aren’t paying over the odds. If you’re convinced, check the buying link below! Nothing Phone (2a): £222 (36% off) / MSRP: £349 This Amazon deal is U.K. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the Amazon UK deals page here.

      "It will have curved glass sides around the entire phone, even at the edges." Will it be just a collectible? I can't imagine myself having a glass phone. I'd gladly exchange glass back panel for plastic or aluminium on mine.
