You’re welcome
Thank you for your hard work.
It works all windows 11 and 10 versions except special ones (Didn’t tested on LTSC or LTSB) , We find it unnecessary to do special work for such versions.
Hi , doesn’t work in Windows 10 LTSC version 1607, will you fix it
(Merhaba,Windows 10 sürüm 1607 de çalışmıyor bunun ilgili bir çalışmanız olacak mı?)
I was hoping you would add "taskbar layout" support too. can you please consider adding it?
@ Sordum Team Regardless of layout, just links. Is it possible?
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
