Start menu
The menu button opens a modern start window with search, categories, favourites and recently used windows.
The menu button on the taskbar takes you to every window in the game. Instead of the long old list, a start window opens in the middle of the screen – with a search box, categories and your favourites.
The menu button
In the Classic theme it is a rounded orange “Menu” button on the taskbar that glows when you hover over it and while the window is open. In the V19 interface the gold menu button sits at the bottom left of the screen.

Shift+ click – the classic menu with every entryEscwhile no other window is open – also opens the start window

Close the window with Esc or by clicking outside it – into the world, on another window or on the taskbar.
Favourites
Click the star on a tile or right-click it. Favourites are pinned to the top of every category and also have their own Favourites category. Favourites and recent windows are kept after you log out.

What Reset does exactly
Once you confirm, every window opens at its default place again. Open windows that can be moved go to the centre of the screen – status, minimap, buffs and chat stay where they are. All taskbars return to their default place. Graphics and other options are not touched.
