Pretty sure this has to do with the .jpeg vs. .jpg issue. The Dev's fixed this in DeskScapes which now recognizes .jpeg, but I'm not sure if they added the .jpeg extension to the WinCustomize preview uploads.

MS did introduce the option to use HDR wallpapers, and maybe that has something to do with this issue.

I'm running the Beta channel 22635.3350 and DeskScapes works as expected. MS must have made some changes to how desktop background are displayed that is causing issues with DeskScapes.
No, not really. Start11v1 came out approximately November 2021, and Start11v2 came out approximately November 2023. Two years there, but when, and if, MS releases Windows 12? there will probably be a new version upgrade.
I'm assuming you are referring to Start11v2. You will get updates as long as Stardock supports the product. However, you will not be eligible for version upgrades i.e. from Start11v2 to Sart11v3.
[quote who="CIOXX" reply="16" id="3924622"] For me the updated build didn't fix the animated backgrounds, but it also stopped the static backgrounds from working. Both the background and the taskbar are pitch black. Note I am also using Start 11 V2, and fences, latest beta of all 3. Otherwise start/fences are working fine.

There's a new Beta version of DeskScapes 11 which addresses the animation issue with latest Canary build.

Something doesn't look right in your screenshot. You should see the tabs getting smaller with every new tab added. What's the full version of your Windows OS (use winver.exe)?; and what's the full version of Groupy2 you're running? (2.1.5.0; 2.1.5.1; 2.1.5.2)
[quote quoting="post"] While using the mouse to scroll around in Start 11 v2's settings, if your mouse happens to land over an option that has a drop down, instead of continuing scrolling down the page it starts scrolling the options which can change settings without the user realizing it.

If you use the "Advanced options" in the Windows 10 style, you can make it look like the Windows App style except for the location of the Quick access shortcut list. Play around with these settings and see what you can do. Here's how mine looks; I use Tabs extensively because I have over 200 shortcuts on one page:
[quote who="NoClipMode" reply="13" id="3924354"] 5. Not a bug but i want to use Nilesoft Shell for the right click context menu on the Start11 button because it allows for full customisation of the menu items. Start11 replaces the NS menu on the Taskbar/Start. So would it be possible to get software like this working with Start11? Or how about adding a similar feature to Start11?

The Windows 10 style can be set up to look pretty much like the App/Pro styles by tweaking the configs and the All Apps list is on the left. Give it a look.
[quote who="trparky" reply="8" id="3924297"] OK, this is annoying as... well, you get the idea. Inside the Start11 configuration window, there are a lot of options that have multiple options to choose from like fonts and such. An example of this is... OK, when you're scrolling with your mouse scroll wheel, it's
I agree with Neil. I believe your icon cache is the underlying issue. Rebuilding the icon cache could help, but it's not a guarantee. You're probably better off fixing the icons with issues. Opening the Properties dialog and updating the icon, even if it's the same one, should help. So, on your Start11 menu, right click an icon with the black background and select More>Open file location. Once there, right click the shortcut and select Properties. Click Change Icon and then Okay if
Sounds like you’re on the right path to fixing your issue. Hope you are able to get them all fixed.[e digicons]:grin:[/e]
What happens if you unpin an app icon with a black background and then right click the app in the All Apps section of the Start11 menu and select "Pin to Start11?"

Like a lot of other software vendors, Stardock has gone to a subscription model for Fences 5, and therefore a permanent license is provided at a premium cost. It sucks, I know, but the entire industry seems to be going in this direction. As long as you have an active subscription, you will get version upgrades as part of the subscription license. Also, there is a discount for upgrades.
Are the shortcuts on your Start11 menu with the black backgrounds .ico or .png files? If they are .png files, there appears to be an issue with transparency. That is why I suggested the GPU driver. Try the 2.07 update as Basj suggested and see if it fixes your issue.
There is a tweak in the latest Beta update released today for virtual desktops. Not sure if it will fix your issue, but it's worth a try. Tweaked group joining to factor in the current virtual desktop more for auto-grouping https://forums.stardock.com/526148/get;3921572
[quote who="mikeswiatek" reply="51" id="3923716"] I have an issue with not being able to drag away one tab in a group e.g. I have various Excel spreadsheets open within one windows, but if I want to drag one tab away to place to the left of the screen, I simply cannot which was working just fine in the previous versions. Am I missing something or it is bugged at the moment? [/quote] This is fixed in the Beta release today. <a href="https://forums.stardock.com/526148/
Thanks for this fix! Resolved the issue of not being able to drag auto-grouped windows out of group. Works great. I know of a couple of people who will cheer for this one. Thanks again for recent updates to Groupy2.
Do you have Chrome set to Auto Group? If you do, you can't pull Groupy2 tabs out of the group. I think they changed the way Auto Group works in the latest update. A new Beta was released today that fixes this issue. Groupt2 - Beta 2.1.5.2 https://forums.stardock.com/526148/get;3921572
