Your screenshots are of the Windows 10 Style!

Set the start menu color to black which will give you white text and then adjust the transparency to the percentage which gives you the look you are wanting. Probably 80 to 85% will work.
Neither Windows 11 nor Start11 offer the Taskbar Toolbar feature. There are however, some third party apps which create a Taskbar toolbar in Windows 11. No disrespect, but isn't that what the start menu is for. You can create those same groups in the Start11 menu -- assuming you use the windows 10 or Windows 11 Styles -- and access them with fewer clicks than with a taskbar toolbar. Just sayin'.
If you're using the Windows 10 Style, go to the "Configure Menu" page in the settings and turn on "Use full screen menu."
Try this: 1) Go to the Windows 11 Desktop Icon Settings and untick Recycle Bin. This will remove the Recycle Bin from your Desktop. 2) Now go to the Desktop Folder and right click the Recycle Bin and choose Pin to Start. If you have "Synchronize pinned items from the OS menu with Start11" turned on, skip steps 3 and 4. 3) Next go to C:\Users\"your User Name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs <
As a work-around for now, you could deactivate the Windows Keys using the PowerToys Keyboard Manager.
Those all need to be there for Start11 to work properly. If you look in the Registry, the Start11 entries are all under Start8. I believe this has been done to save programming steps by the developer.
If you Exit CursorFX, does the standard Windows cursor exhibit this same behavior?

[quote quoting="post"] I selected the"GEAR" because I had it on my other machine. WWhen I selected the "gear" cursor, the entire cursor was flickering and twice as large as the example. The enlargement is set at 1.00. what did I do wrong? I am running Windows 11. Thank you in advance. [/quote] I am running Windows 10 19045.2673 and all of the CursorFX animated cursors flicker for me whether they are new or old. This started about a year ago.
As per Bleeping Computer, "After installing KB5022913 or later updates, Windows devices with some third-party UI customization apps might not start up," Microsoft said. <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-kb5022913-causes-boot-issues-if-using

Assuming you are not using an Insiders version of Windows 11, you can view open applications on the taskbar with ungrouped windows by selecting “Enhance taskbar” in the Start11 settings.
I believe orange was the color used in Windows 10.
I’m curious as to what size monitor you have, because I’m having a hard time visualizing how you have 40 groups in just three columns horizontally. Also, I think your workaround is probably the best solution to your issue. I have a similar issue when moving apps around on my iPhone, and that’s what I do.
In the Windows 10 style, if you use the medium size or larger tiles, the name is included under the icon. The other option is to use the Windows 11 style which includes the name under the icon in the small size, although you lose the tile layout.
[quote who="d13531" reply="9" id="3879178"] Thanks for the idea. I will try that and let everyone know if it works. 👍 Edit: It didn't work...bummer. Edit #2: never mind, I got it to work! 😂 [/quote] Glad to hear you were able to make it work. I thought I had done that before. I don’t have my laptop with me, so I was unable to test it before I suggested it.
Try creating a new theme and then copy and paste the cursors from other themes that you want to use for your new theme. A little more difficult, but I think it will work. You might also have to recreate the settings in the right panel for the animated cursors.
If you don’t use OneDrive, just skip that folder and go straight to Documents.

Try turning off "Show recently opened items in Start, Jump Lists, and File Explorer" in the Windows settings and see if that accomplishes your desired effect. I know this works on Windows 10 with Start11 ver. 1.39, but have not tried it on Windows 11.
