StartAllBack 3.9 Launches with Enhanced Taskbar Features and File Explorer Grouping

Enhance Your Windows 11 Experience with StartAllBack 3.9

For Windows users seeking to elevate the built-in user interface of Windows 11, a variety of customization applications are available. One standout option is StartAllBack, which has recently been updated to version 3.9, introducing a suite of new features aimed at enhancing user experience.

New Features in StartAllBack 3.9

The latest update presents a “plump taskbar” feature that allows for increased margins in the taskbar. It incorporates the classic pill-shaped indicators from Windows 11 to represent running applications. Users can now toggle between attached and detached taskbar settings, providing a unique floating appearance that includes a slight gap between the taskbar and the bottom of the screen.

Reviving Nostalgia with Aura Effects

For those longing for the aesthetic effects reminiscent of Windows 7, the Aura feature is a welcome addition. This functionality modifies the highlight color on the taskbar based on the primary color of app icons, providing a fresh visual appeal and enhancing the user interface.

Enhanced File Management

A notable enhancement in this version is the restoration of classic drive grouping from Windows 7 in the File Explorer. With this feature, removable drives can be clearly distinguished from internal drives. This makes navigation significantly more user-friendly, particularly for users with multiple drives, as Windows 11 typically groups all drives under a single “Devices and drives”label, causing confusion.
