Minimizing Full-Screen Game Issue in Start11

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I am having an issue when I minimize a game that is in full-screen mode. When I press the Windows key, Alt+Esc or anything that would cause the game to minimize the taskbar color goes gray and it overrides any visual settings that I have customized in Start11. I have to go into the settings and change a taskbar appearance setting to get it to revert back. I never experienced this before in Windows 10 using Start10.

Also, I have read it mentioned before that customizing the start button would be a nice feature. Even if was just for the left side oriented taskbar, which is what I use.

 

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your issue. Does the issue happen on all games in full screen? Does it happened also on videos playback?

Thanks

It happens in Overwatch, BFV and BF4 in my experience. I do run all games in full-screen mode and use g-sync in conjunction with v-sync.. if that matters. It doesn't seem to happen when running YouTube in full-screen or VLC. I don't typically use the aforementioned keyboard shortcuts in video playback and only while gaming, however.

Are you using Start11 0.5 or 0.55?
