Regarding Winstep 9.5 and having SuperBar alone

Hi
Please bear with me with my requests (SORRY)

I'm using Windows XP SP3 and once I tried the windows 7 super bar, I really wished I can have such functionality in my current windows as my machine is 4 yrs old so I think it won't run windows 7 efficiently and also I can't wait anymore for Win7 and its super bar as I found super bar is so efficient for me in having my taskbar icons STACKED together and that the stack opens automatically when I hover with my mouse (I always used to have so many items opened @ once in my taskbar but it annoys me to have to click 2 times in order to get to the item I want from the stack)

So now is there anyway to have that functionality alone so that I don't have to pay the whole price for winstep as I'm NOT interested in any other application other than the super bar???

Also, when I tried winstep 9.5, I found out that my start menu changed a lot and i really don't like the new skinning and the new behaviour. Is it possible to keep my original XP Start Menu style intact + having the super bar (I don't even care about the live previews but i do care only about that the stack can open automatically upon mouse hover)

Thank you for your patience with me.

That's a bit like telling Microsoft: oh, I don't care about Powerpoint or the other Office apps, can I just have Winword? :wink:

But send me an email to the Winstep support address and we'll see what I can do. :wink:

Right click on the Start button and select 'Associate to Start Menu'.

Hi
Thanks for your writing and the tip u mentioned. I now have the same start menu which I really like and used to

Just 1 more question if you don't mind...

Regarding the folders name text which appear whenever i hover with my mouse over a stack. Can i make it bigger? and also to make the stack window itself a little wider to make it accommodate the bit long file/folder names?

Open NextSTART Preferences -> Tasklist and Systray Preferences -> Window Preview Thumbnails section, and change the size of thumbnails from Medium to Large or Very Large.

That ought to help.
