Start11 1.39,1

March 4, 2023 4:52:56 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi Team,

I have just upgraded to Windows 11 22H2 (22621.1344), and it appears that Start11's transparency effect for the taskbar no longer works. Can this please be checked to see if it is a widespread issue? Any hints on how to fix locally if it is not a widespread issue?

Many thanks,

Mark

You need to install the 1.4 beta of Start11 which is available on your Stardock store page.

Issue was not resolved on my end. Installed v1.4 beta and issue is still present after launching a game. It is transparent until i launch a game then it breaks

Hi,

Thanks - the beta version has seemingly fixed the problem...

Cheers, 

Mark

We have a 1.4.0.5 update with a tweak for that.

Came here to report the issues with transparency under Windows items (search, taskview, clock, etc.) and with clipping issues on those items (especially noticeable with the clock) when using the "small" taskbar size - but low and behold, you guys are ON it!  Beta 1.4.0.5 resolved both those issues, and I didn't see any reversions or issues when running games or other full-screen apps.  Way to go, Stardock!

Are you 100% certain you do not have something else installed that might alter the taskbar transparency?

Are there any specific games which show this?

Ok i think the problem has been resolved. I completely uninstalled the old version, including the folder and what not and it seems to be working now. I will keep testing to see if it fails again. 

Edit: Problem came back. I do not have any other start menu altering software. Was working while playing modern warefare 2 and then i launched a different game in steam and the taskbar went back to being a solid color
