Tweaked engage Cortana mode to resolve a potential issue with it not always engaging if you opened Cortana just before the start menu
Changed Win11 menu so if you disable Start11 search the search field will disappear by default but will respect the option to show/hide the field too
Tweak for Search mode in Win7 skins to be light mode
Change to Start11 running to hopefully workaround some PowerShell issues on shutdown for some users in edge cases.
This change will potentially impact support for third-party apps which can launch Start11 such as DisplayFusion. It should detect this correctly but if not adding a registry key of type string with value "1" called AllowThirdPartyTaskbars to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8 should revert to the old system.Fixed issue with recolored start menu textures using OS accent color not refreshing on color change
Icon overflow (hidden icons) with new Win11 taskbar (insider dev/beta) now shows correctly when the taskbar is at the top of the screen.
Added support for setting the taskbar button size (unless there is insufficient room) when allowing Start11 to enhance the taskbar via the OS regkey MinWidth stored at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics Unlike on Win10, this will scale for dpi correctly allowing consistency over multiple monitors with different scale factors.
Tweaked sign-out / shutdown menus when in Dark taskbar mode to use a dark menu rather than light.
Tweak to resolve an issue with the line on the taskbar in 22H2 being too transparent when in dark mode
Tweaked default taskbar transparency on Win11 22H2 when in dark mode as slightly too solid by default
Resolved crash changing custom icon for a tile in Win10 menu (or custom image on Win11 menu) if you move the mouse over the menu whilst picking
Fixed an issue with excessive titlebar caption changes in apps triggering excessive refreshes of the taskbar causing a lag issue on the taskbar with enhanced taskbar enabled.

Taskbar search mini preview should reposition itself correctly after a brief pause on the initial show when using centered taskbar mode on 22H2
WB skins should now support blur on the background of the startmenu (Win7/modern). May require WB 11 beta 2
Win10/11 style all programs list now respects icon set for folders vs using a default icon
Taskbar thumbnail popup window will no longer go partially offscreen with a very large number of windows owned by a single app when using enhanced taskbar on Windows 11
