StartAllBack for Windows 11

[Wilda]

Hey guys! Is there any way to make StartAllBack taskbar darker to prevent burnin on OLED displays? It would be amazing to have such a feature embeded...

Try StartAllBack configuration > Advanced > Customize appearance. Choose a color to your liking or make it transparent.
Hope that helps!

it's the same if shut down the hooking apps.

There's no 'hooking apps' in StartAllBack. You're using something else.

Hello Tihiy

Windows 11 25H2 and later will support built-in dark mode.

However, the new dark mode conflicts with the dark mode in StartAllBack. Will this issue be resolved?

Thanks!

That doesn't seem to do anything that would help with OLED screens, icons stay the same brightness/vividness...

Yeah you can try test build https://startisback.com/StartAllBack_setup.exe

I saw an AutoHotkey script somewhere a couple of years ago. Let me check.
Here it is. It's a modified version of the original. Decide for yourself whether to use it or not.

Or make the taskbar dark and/or transparent *and* autohide it.

The effect is perfect!

It occurs from a specific 24h2 build, old version SAB are same issues on current 24h2 build. there are no newly installed other apps. it seems conflict with a display environment.

I saw that AutoHotKey script, haven't tried it yet but it seems like quite complicated workaround. I think these days OLED are quite widespread and having such feature directly in StartAllBack would be really nice to have :-) Also my screen from Philips has a "taskbar dimmer" feature in it but it doesn't seem to do anything for some reason, maybe it's incompatible with StartAllBack.
