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.
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!

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 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!
