Taskbar active button highlight

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

Regarding Start 11, it appears that the taskbar button for an active window gets highlighted with a small blueish bar, while those for inactive windows are in gray. However, the blueish color is too dark and is difficult to notice. Is there a way to customize the color of the bar?

Thanks.

Hello,

I believe, there is no such option available in Start11 yet. However, I have forward your request to the Stardock Support Team for their review and recommendations. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We really do appreciate your feedback, Thanks

The bar is based on your accent colour in Windows.  It should match the colour used without start11 as well.

Thanks, Neil.

I'm aware that the color of the taskbar itself can be set by Windows. However, as basj mentioned above, the feature I am looking for is how to customize the color of the tiny indicator bars under the each taskbar buttons. With the current default color, it's very hard to recognize which button is activated. Hope to see an improvement in the next update.

Thanks.

The colour of the indicator bars comes from that colour too.  It is a lighter version of it.

It should be identical to the one used without Start11.
