highlight current showing group tab?
Stardock Forums
I'm wondering if there is a way to have Start11 V2 highlight the current visible tab of groups?
Current behaviour is I can only tell by clicking on the tab and if it is the current one it opens tries to change the current groups tab name - which is annoying.
Hi Mike,
The first picture shows how my tab groups look. You can tell which one is active as long as they have any color selected by noticing how the tab is visually connected to the body below it.
The second picture shows how I picked the color: Right-click the tab, go to Appearance, and then pick a color. I believe the color choices are hard-coded. I went with something that was the closest shade to my chosen background color so it matches well.
Note that each tab can have its own color, but you can do as I did and pick the same color for all tabs.

Oh, I'm glad I wrote this reply. I recently removed all my work stuff on this computer since I now have a separate work computer. This reply reminded me I can rename "Personal" to something like "Main". 
The active tab should always be connected to the tab group below it. Inactive tabs have a gap between them and the tab body.
Thanks for the replies!
I setup all the colours the same as the background since version 1 before tabs, (dark - for my dark mode Win11) so there wasn't any visible difference. (Slap on forehead).
I'll rethink my colour choices, probably the entire setup with more tabs, fewer small icons without text and more medium icons with text.
Thanks for replying. I see the problem is I setup the colours as the same as the background. I believe I had that since v1 or right when I got v2.
I'm going to rethink my entire setup. I wonder if there is a thread showing peoples V2 setups? I like your colour choices. I might try a slightly subdued version.
