I get it. I work in web development, mostly frontend. It's always a relief to realize it was an RTFM, PICNIC, or ID-10-T error. Sorry for the confusion.

OMFG... I had recently enabled energy saver in my power settings, and that disabled the blur beneath my start menu and taskbar. How stupid of me.

I just updated Star11 to v2.8 and my taskbar and start menu blur and taskbar transparency are gone on Windows 11 Home version 25H2 build 26200.9168. Transparency in Windows settings is enabled. If I toggle it off and back on, taskbar transparency comes back. But when I click Start, and the Start11 start menu opens, transparency goes away. My Start11 transparency setting is 94% (I think that's default) and Mica effect is disabled. I've reset Start11 and restarted the machine several tim
