[quote who="4rtz1z" reply="11" id="3859849"] any progress ? [/quote] From Neil Banfield on July 29 in the "Is Groupy Dead?" post; https://forums.stardock.com/513615/page/1/#3859775 "Groupy is next in the queue once we have a WB11 beta out there."
Once you have your style picked as Windows 10, make sure you have "Use Windows 11 style icons" turned off and "Show app list in start menu" turned on in the Start11 Advanced Configuration settings. You can now right click start menu icons and set their size, turn on or off text, and change the color of the tile background. With the settings below, your start menu should look like the Windows 10 start menu. Play around with these settings and tweak your start menu the way you like it.
[quote who="jerryberns" reply="10" id="3859817"] Thanks, @pelaird. I forgot to specify we are using Office 2016 here. Deskscapes is Version 11 Beta 5. I have changed my DS settings to match yours. I will report if the problem persists. [/quote] Deskscapes ver. 11 Beta 5 is ver. 10.96 Office 2016 is basically the same as Office 365 and shouldn't be a factor.

Glad I could help! [e digicons]B)[/e]
Turn on "Show More Tiles on Start" located in the Advanced Options section of the Start11 Configuration settings. This will give you four medium tiles across.
Glad I was able to help. pelaird
You could also make your taskbar darker in Start11 so the white text displays better.
Set the size smaller here.
I believe the font color in the Start menu is controlled dynamically by the operating system. Depending on the color of the Start menu background, the font color is either white or black. If you have a dark background the text is white, and if you have a light background the text is black. I'm not sure if there are registry settings that could be tweaked to achieve what you are asking for, but maybe Neil or Sean would know.
If you don't have a copy of the Start10 installer, login to your account and go to "My Downloads" and download the current installer. Once you have the installer on your laptop, click to install and then reboot. Once you have rebooted, you should be able to open Start10 and set it up the way you had it before.

[quote]Add a custom toolbar [/quote] Start11 doesn't allow the creation of toolbars yet. Maybe they will include this at a later date. As a workaround, if you are using the Windows 10 or 11 styles, you could create a new page and pin the files and folders you keep in your taskbar folder to that page. Once you have created the page and pinned your files, you can organize those files and folders into groups and then name the groups. Start11 ver. 1.25 allows you to use

In the original post, this is the icon for SelfCert.exe; an application that has been a part of Office for many generations. The app is used to digitally sign a macro project in Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio, Outlook, or Word.

[quote who="Vijer" reply="7" id="3858710"] Yeah, it's a compromise. I really want the color to be consistent, but have a shadow of the background seen through it. [/quote] Try setting the background color to RGB 180 180 180 and the transparency to 99% solid. I think this is the best you are going to get.
You could also move those tiles at the bottom to a new page. In 1.25 you can now use the scroll wheel to scroll through pages. If you make the start menu height smaller to hide those tiles, you will still have to scroll down to see them. Either way you are going to have to scroll. For me, scrolling to the next page(s) is my preference.

That is how transparency works. You see through the Start11 menu to what's beneath it. If there is white beneath it you see light-gray; if there is blue beneath it you see blue-gray; and if there is black beneath it you see black. If you want a light gray Start11 menu background, you will have to set the color to a gray you like and set Transparency to 100% solid.
