Hi @everyone

JaxCore had ceased development near the end of 2022, and the server was no longer maintained ever since. As of today, this server is now in the state of a "public archive". You can view past updates as well as issues, but can no longer send any messages anywhere. If you are looking for support, please refer to the Discord site "issue and bugs" and search for an answer there. Lots of love to everyone, including you, for being part of my journey developing JaxCore.

Great Mod! Very user friendly. One question though, how do you edit the pinned applications?

3.0 update

What's New

• Added "Hot Apps" to help you navigate through Windows faster than ever.
• Added a Calendar module. Useful for the non-procrastinators.
• Added a preference that allows you to set an image as ValliStart's background. For the choosy types.
• A plethora of improvements have been made to the configuration menu. It's now clearer, and goes well with ValliStart's minimal look.
• Added more color options.
• Updated the positioning system.
• Improved the modular spacing to make ValliStart look and feel more consistent.

Hi Jax. I really like Vallistart and have used it to replace my start menu. However I think I have found a bug where shortcuts disappear from SingleRow and DoubleRow.

To recreate the bug do this:

1) Load the Layout Vekl.
2) Add the Module SingleRow or DoubleRow.
3) Add a few shortcuts.
4) Move an empty shortcut row above the added shortcuts.
5) Now, if you press the Win-key to open Vallistart the shortcuts have disappeared and I can not find a way to get them back. Unloading the module, quitting Rainmeter or restarting the pc did not help.

If you need help looking into this just write back.

An idea for a module: something that shows all open windows so you don't have to use Alt+Tab or go to the taskbar.

I think I found a bug sort of. On my pc I am hiding the process line and summon Valli with the win-key. Normally the process line stays hidden when I press the win-key. After updating to ValliStart 3.52 from I guess 3.4-ish, when I press the win-key, the process bar shows up shortly. This is kinda annoying. Could you make it not show up, or do you know something I can do to fix this?

Hey. Sorry for the late reply. I've added this feature due to high demand, and overlooked the need of adding an option to toggle it off. This will be added in a later update. Thanks! :welcome:

I don't think it would look good in a start menu... so unfortunately not :(

Forgot to make an update here.... I've added an option to toggle this off in the latest update!
