Taskbar Notification Colours

from Stardock Forums

Start11 1.24:

If you set the Taskbar to a dark colour, the icons and text in the Notification area remain black and are not visible.  This is not the case with the Start Menu, which changes the text colour according to the background darkness..

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. What is your setting for Windows Colors setting? Dark, Light?

Thanks

Thanks Basj,

I've got it!  If you want to use the Start11 Taskbar enhancements, you need to change the Windows colour mode to Custom and the default Winows mode to dark with the default app mode to light.

Thanks again,

Richard

It depends on what colour you want.

If you want a dark taskbar then you need to set the windows mode to dark as otherwise it will use black icons and black text.  Likewise if you want a lighter colour you should set it to light mode as otherwise it will be white icons and text.
