[quote who="TheRealFEI" reply="11" id="3788294"] I highly doubt that WB from 2001 [/quote] Yep, you're right, my bad. The machine I was thinking of was running 98, I seem to have lost about a decade there. Happens sometimes.

[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Having the option checked uses the caption image instead of the default image, leaving it unchecked adds the image on top of the default frames. It's a setting for each individual skin.

Reply to Curtains 1.10 Beta Issue Report Thread in Curtains WinCustomize Forums

Well thankfully that didn't take long. I don't know if it's "Right" or "Wrong" but I can tell you what fixed it- In Start10, on the main page "Style", in the "Settings" dropdown I had picked a custom color. Clicking on "Reset to automatic color" fixed it. Clicking around and trying a few different colors doesn't seem to matter, it seems to be merely having a custom color set causes white text which didn't catch my eye on dark skins. Thanks.

[quote who="basj" reply="9" id="3787314"] I can't reproduce it on my system. [/quote] Well I just now thought to check - it's working right under a different login. So it's probably some setting in something, somewhere, argh. I'll have to poke around for it later. Thanks, sorry to bug you about it, if I turn up anything that I think might be worth mentioning I'll let you know. (I did delete the shipped skins, uninstalled and reinstalled Start10 and Cu

Win10 v2004 build 19041.450 Start10 v1.95 Curtains v1.1 beta 1 I don't know exactly when this started, I usually use darker themes. It seems like the start menu text color is using Start10 and ignoring Curtains. This is Fluent Sky, I don't think it was always this way, and I'm fairly certain I haven't played with it: </p

[quote who="randomusername2" reply="2" id="3785381"] I just created a new one and the only thing I changed were the taskbar icons, and that error occurred. [/quote] It does seem that creating a new theme, specifying only the taskbar button, and applying it causes an Explorer crash-restart loop. which is the taskbar flashing/resetting that you're seeing.
