Start11 When right-clicking in the start menu, the characters in the popup menu are transparent.

windows11 22H2 build 22321.1413

Apply styles with windowblinds11. If start11 is in bright mode, the characters in the popup menu will be transparent when you right click in the start menu. This is when the transparency effect is ON.

When the transparency effect is OFF, the program selection bar is not colored and becomes transparent. Of course, the characters are reversed, so nothing can be seen.

Although there are some styles in which the characters in the popup menu are not transparent, this occurs in most styles.

If I change the style back to default start11 works fine.

By default, the shape of the popup menu is Windows 11 style, but when you apply the style, it becomes classic style.

Additionally, some apps have transparent text in the menu bar, which can be resolved with exclusions.

However, start11 is compatible with windowblinds and cannot be unlocked.

It's easy, but that's the problem.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I think, it is best if you include some screenshots of the issue you found. Also, include which theme/skin you having issue with. Preferably, those skin that come along with Windowblinds.

Thanks you.

Have you signed out since applying the theme?

Also are you running anything else which might impact font rendering?

We will tell you the results of the survey.

The culprit app turned out to be Ashampoo® WinOptimizer.

Probably because it manages the context menu controls.

As for my request to Start11, the transparency effect is turned off in Windows 11, and the modern style and windows 10 style

When the background of the panel is white or black, the program selection bar becomes transparent and visibility deteriorates.

It would be nice if this could be improved. Also, is there such a setting?

In addition, there is a phenomenon that the characters in the menu bar are not visible in some apps, but this is an exclusion setting and becomes the Windows default, so there is no problem in operation. It doesn't apply to apps that have their own UI in the first place.

For the time being, I would like to report that the problem with the right-click popup menu in Start11 has been resolved.

thank you very much.
