Changing Font Colour Start 11v2

from Stardock Forums

I use Start 11 v 2 latest update. I normally use the Windows 7 layout with icons as my preferred "Theme". Since using v2, all the text on the flyout menus in Windows is now Black - it used to be White. I cannot find any where to change the colour back to White. Black Text on a dark blue background is very hard to read. If I choose other layouts  - the text is White so it is possible to do - just cannot find where to go to change it back to white. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Are you using the 2.0.1.1 beta? I think this was fixed.

If this doesn't fix it, here is a workaround:

For those of you with the menu issue, you can avoid this by setting the following registry key : 

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8

Create a value called "S11_MenusAreSolid" with type String, data should be "1"

This will be addressed in the next beta update of S11

Thanks, that fixed it for me. (Checking for updates show me software is fully up to date - is there a link to download beta updates?)
