StartAllBack recently released experimental support for Windows 12 Canary builds, reimplementing the classic system tray as the underlying code was removed from the latest Canary builds of Windows. I was able to work with the developer to get NetWorx working properly in this experimental build, so hopefully when Windows 12 releases next year the taskbar graph will work properly using StartAllBack.

That's great to hear!

Although the latest release of NetWorx supports the taskbar graph without the need for StartAllBack.

Closer to Windows 12 release we'll test our implementation of the taskbar graph to see if it can work with Windows 12 the same way it does with Windows 11.

The issue with the current Win 11 implementation is when using never combine taskbar buttons the buttons overlap the taskbar graph with just a few windows open. StartAllBack brings back the classic taskbar with a ton of modifications so the support is there for icons to not overlap. Plus the classic taskbar just works and looks better.
