What colour were you expecting it to be usually?

In Windows 10 the icon/program in the taskbar would flash yellow, so I was expecting that to return.  Flashing red makes it look like something is wrong, in my opinion.  Red is typically a color of warning or problem, so I'm confused by the color choice if it was in fact intentional.  I'm curious if there is a way to change it, as I have not found a setting for that in Start11.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried that but it appears Start11 must be overriding that setting as the program bars continue to flash even after disabling that Windows 11 setting.

Anyone else have any other ideas?  Do the bars flash red for other users as well?

The current dark red and short blinking time makes this feature USELESS. Notifications are missed because of it has not enought contrast\time

Can you add a feature to change the color?

That is the problem.  The current color is Another Micrsoft fuck up that maybe Start11 can fix.

Looks like you are thinking on the progress indicator of the buttons, red when a process stopped (And that is another fuck up of microsoft because they moved the progres to a tiny bar barely visible) but tha is not what Im talking about.

What I mean is the color from when the app needs attention and flashes the taskbar button

It was working fine, it used to be orange, but now, after a windows and Star11 updated at the same time It looks like this:

When a window needs attention, it flashes the button, but with this darker red is almost invisible and the blinking pases unnoticed missing important notifications.

As the OP asked, can Star11 have a setting to change this color to something visible?

And maybe also to change Number of Flashes (https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/change_taskbar_flashing.html)
