It's that Time of Year for the Best and Worst of 2024 in Life, the Universe and Everything Stardock Forums

Well, it's that time of year when there are a plethora of Best & Worst lists everywhere! On the top of my Best list is Start11v2 version 2.5 with the vertical taskbar. Stardock has once again outdone itself. And at the top of my Worst list is Microsoft Recall. What's on your Best & Worst lists for 2024? Here's to a great year for everyone in 2025!

I have been using Start11v2 since it was introduced. I have never had any issues until I installed 2.4.9.0 over the previous version (2.1.1.0). I tried both the uninstall/reinstall, and purge and reinstall, neither of which helped. I ended up doing a hard uninstall by removing the Start8 folder in the Stardock registry settings at "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8", deleting all the Start11 folders from Program Data, App Data>Local, and Program Files (X86). After rebooti

I really don't think this has anything to do with Start11. Start11 only controls the highlight color of it's own context menus, and the highlight color of shortcuts when you hover over a shortcut on the Start11 start menu.

Apps control their own text highlight color. Windows controls the text highlight color in Explorer windows. Start11 does not have any settings which control or change the text highlight color. Something besides Start11 is causing this issue. I use Vivaldi, Chrome, and Edge browsers. All three us a medium blue with white text. There are extensions that will change this highlight color. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/28/6928565/3488016c-9a09-4d6d-9f23-b3243200c2e0.p

Make sure "Use automatic color..." is off, and click pick color. When the color picker opens, pick black and then set the slider to the shade of gray you want to use.

You could also consider using PowerToys Workspaces, which will open a group of apps, each in a specific location on your desktop, or any virtual desktop. It also allows using CLI (command line interface) arguments which provides for opening a specific file in each app. Your entire screen would now be your group, arranged in a configured layout. You can create a desktop shortcut to the Workspace, and even pin it to the taskbar. I haven't tested it, but I would assume you can also pin it t

I don't use multiple monitors, so I can't test these issues. If Basj is unable to help, he can forward this issue to someone on the Dev team. It looks like you have many unnamed groups in your start menu setup. I don't know if that is an issue, but you could try naming them and see if it helps. As a test, like Test1, Test2, etc. Sorry for the new problems. pelaird
