With the latest beta release, the color of the taskbar on both my secondary monitors is incorrect. As shown in the attached images, we see the main monitor taskbar (Windows created taskbar) is a solid blue color which is the same as the desktop background color. On any of the secondary monitors, only the area under the taskbar shortcuts I have defined has the correct color. The rest of the taskbar area is a brown/black color. This is the same condition whether I am using a solid color background .jpg for the image in my Desktop Wallpaper Settings or am using any varying .jpg image.
I am using Windows 10. My Personalization / Color settings are
Automatically pick an accent color from my background - On
Show color on Start, taskbar, action cetner, and title bar - On
Make Start, taskbar,, and action center transparent - On
This worked properly on Beta 7, in fact, on all previous DF 8.0 betas.

Strange! I can't reproduce that here. If you restart DisplayFusion, does that make any difference?

Have restarted computer multiple times since installing Beta 8. Display Fusion taskbars always exhibits this problem after startup.

Loaded Beta 9.0 but problem still remains.
Thanks! I noticed you're running Classic Shell, and I think this might have to do with us trying to add support for the custom colour as set in the Classic Shell settings. Could you try disabling the custom colour in Classic Shell, then restart DisplayFusion to see if that makes any difference?

Yes, disabling 'Customize taskbar' in Classic Shells 'Windows 10 Settings' section restored proper performance.
It appears the reason I did this was not to manage the colors but change the Classic Shell 'Taskbar opacity' value from 85 to 65. I guess I assumed that Classic Shell was managing the opacity on the Windows taskbar on my primary monitor while Display Fusion Taskbar/Taskbar Opacity was managing the opacity values on the taskbar on my secondary monitors. I also changed the DisplayFusion taskbar opacity value and was trying to match the opacity on both primary and secondary monitors. NOTE: My assumption above may be incorrect about what software manages what monitors.
I can live with Classic Shell taskbar customization turned off so you can close this issue. Preferably you'll put some kind of check in the software to warn users if this conflict occurs.
Thanks for looking into my problem.

This problem still exists in DP 8.0, Beta 11. As your beta notice says you're getting very close to the final release of DP 8.0, it would be nice if this problem is corrected.
