It's not so much a case of needed compatibility but rather you kinda have to make them work together. Within OpenShell, choose not to replace the start button, as Retrobar does that on its own. image Then, within "Controls," make sure "Left Click opens:" is set to Open-Shell Menu. image There's a couple of other options you can mess around with in there, such as choosing for shift+left click to open the regular windows start menu, and for the windows key to access Open-Shell as well. Let me know if this helps.

OpenShell settings have no power over this. RetroBar hides the default taskbar, which OpenShell follows. RetroBar also takes priority over OpenShell for the Windows/Super key.

There's no way to invoke the OpenShell menu while RetroBar is running thanks to this.
