If you are running a multi-monitor setup, you will benefit from other features that StartIsBack+ offers. The taskbar fades away so that apps use all of the screen by default. You are probably wondering what is happening when you start modern apps on the start screen. It is a simply thing but it improves the usability quite a bit. The coolest feature by far is the integration of the taskbar on the Windows 8.1 start screen.

You will find other options in the configuration.
