Changes
Version updated
UI: 2.06
Start11Config.exe 2.0.6.1Further tweak to sync pins logic to prevent constant syncing issues for some people.
Resolved issue with everything search results using Start10 style search when in dark mode having black text
Added support for TrafficMonitor taskbar integration when using an enhanced taskbar. When using non-enhanced mode the taskbar buttons will go under it if the taskbar is full, this is a limitation in how that utility works on Windows 11 with or without Start11. With an enhanced mode taskbar, this will not happen.
Adjusted combined taskbar buttons in Win10 style to stop the line at the bottom of multiple items merging together
Detects SAB handling taskbar and will disable all Start11 taskbar features to ensure compatibility
The last mouse-highlighted item on the start menu is correctly reset on the menu reopen now
Resolved wrong text color in some situations on mouseover of all programs list when very slightly off the selected folder
Resolved a small resource leak with tile images in some situations
Resolved some small potential memory leaks
Further tweaks to sync pins logic for triggering
Added option for autohide to reserve 1 pixel of screen space if people encounter issues
Removes improper shortcuts that were installed with Start11 2.05

Resolved issue with custom accent color impacting Win10 item text on mouseover
Resolved issue with some custom accent colors causing invisible icons on mouseover on quick access shortcut list, all programs list folders, shutdown button
Windows 10 style more button links shown in search results now look like buttons matching the look on the other styles
Icons will now swap to dark options (where provided) when a custom accent colour is in use that requires it on mouseover
Resolved issue with taskbar shortcuts that have been deleted by the user or an uninstaller incorrectly (vs being unpinned) showing as unremovable white icons on the taskbar in enhanced taskbar mode. The icons will now remain and they can be removed by right click unpin for all new cases and old ones will simply no longer show at all.
Swapping taskbar touch mode / not no longer requires an explorer restart
Resolved issue with custom menu background not correctly painting after menu swaps from one dpi screen to another
Stopped all apps list on Windows App style menu from taking mouse focus when a menu overlapped that window sometimes
Tweaked Start11 autohide mode to no longer reserve any space at the bottom of the screen. This does mean the very bottom pixel of a maximized app isn't clickable, but this shouldn't be an issue as click targets should never be so small.
Tweaked overlay icon on taskbar buttons to be slightly bigger to match Windows 11 unless using small taskbar size
Resolved issue with taskbar thumbnail popups not always showing again after a primary monitor swap
