start button hover bug

Anonymous 9 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 9 years ago 5
I'm getting some very strange hover behaviour with the windows start button. When I'm in some programs (Google Chrome, Firefox) if I hover over the start button and then move my mouse off again, it remains highlighted. If I alt tab to a different program the issue stays until I Ctrl+Right Click on the task bar at which point it works as expected. As soon as I make Chrome (for example) my active window again, the same thing happens.

As I said it only happens with specific applications (So far the only ones I've found are chrome and firefox). Internet explorer doesn't have this effect so it isn't browser-wide. It might be to do with the fact that chrome and firefox both put tabs inside the top bar (alongside _ □ x).

It's a weird issue and hard to explain properly so I'll put a link to a video.

It seems to be an issue with the "disable topmost" option, as it only occurs when that is enabled.

Here's a video anyway:

Fixed in v5.0.

A couple of things:
  • Which OS do you have? Windows 7/8/8.1/10 32/64 bit.
  • Please provide your tweaker options, advanced settings, and your taskbar properties.
  • Looks like you're using a custom theme. Do you use a third-party theming app? Which one? Does the issue occur with the default Windows theme?
  • Does the issue occur when Firefox/Chrome is not maximized?
Currently running Windows 7 64-bit.

I have used universal theme patcher to patch the system files and allow custom themes, along with "Shine 2.0 for Windows 7" as found on deviantart. I am also using Windows 7 Start Button Changer.

I have tried disabling all themes and reverting universal theme patcher so that Windows is unchanged but it hasn't fixed the issue.

The issue doesn't occur if the window is not maximized.

Here are screenshots of my current settings:
