Open-Shell-Menu VS streamdeck-tools

I've been very happy happy with https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu as a Start Menu replacement. If ads have rolled out to my Windows install, I wouldn't even notice.

Whenever I set up a new computer for older family members, despite it being windows 11, I always install open shell[1] and retro bar[2]. Between the two, I've made the operating system look very close to Windows XP visually, and they always appreciate it.

There's Open-Shell but it's not exactly a full WM replacement.

Hi yall, I used Open-Shell to change the icon.

There is also Open Shell, a free and open source tool which performs a similar function.

I wish so bad there is a port (a fork) of the Legacy Kickoff start menu for Windows: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/issues/1083

Classic Start Menu

I use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu.

Looks like you're going for an XP theme. May I suggest using open-shell to skin the taskbar, start menu, and start button if you wanna take that extra step? You can also find the taskbar skin and start button here. Also, I would remove the search bar, task view button, and news & interest area of the taskbar just to bring things together. This is all just a suggestion, you don't have to if you don't want to.

You could use BarRaider's Super Macro plugin https://barraider.com/, I think there is a move mouse command in there.

Join BarRaiders discord (https://barraider.com/) and sign up for his early access / beta releases. He's updating his VoiceMeeter plugin to support the StreamDeck+

there's a plugin called sound pad integration by barriader. https://barraider.com/ U'll need sound pad from steam though but this is the best I've found so far.

u/ZYmZ-SDtZ-YFVv-hQ9U This is a Barraider plugin. I would suggest reaching out to him via his website to report a bug if this plugin is not working as intended.

You can get these plugins on his discord channel or from the site itself (which I'm pretty sure is just going to redirect you to the discord channel.)
