Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I am sorry, I can not reproduce your issue since I can not get to show that oval search box to appear on my Windows 10 style start panel. How do you do it to make that search box appear?

Thank you,

When quickly switching from Windows 10 style to Windows 11 style, this effect occurs when first calling up the search fields.

Thank you for pointing it out. I can now reproduce your issue.

I have forwarded your problem to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the error with the search field is still there. And, as you can see, the text in the app search is still darker.

Unfortunately, the text is still darker in Start11v2 2.6.0.2.
Why does the color of the search field in the Start menu differ from the color of the search field in the taskbar?
Wouldn't it be better if everything were consistent?
