Hello.
The Spark flashing on the new taskbar of Windows 11 is not clearly visible (in Windows 10 it was very visible).
I have tried both the light and the dark themes.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Bes regards.

I think the jdk(jre) that goes with the spark just doesn’t know about the existence of windows 11.

Maybe with java 8 321 will work fine
I now have Windows 11 and see this.
But I do not know only in Spark so dimly blinking or all applications.

I came here hoping others had found a fix to the same question. After changing to Windows 11, I miss new Spark messages many times a day. Honestly, I don’t know that there is a direct answer as I think it’s just how the new interface works. I’m Spark 2.5.8 for what it’s worth.
Perhaps there is a solution without third-party programs, but I installed Startisback++ (https://www.startallback.com/) and after that the start and notifications became like in Windows 10.
there is a script that restores the taskbar as in win10, but I have not tried it.

Hi all! I’m a newb to spark/openfire.
I setup OF and spark for two users out of 10 over the weekend, just to beta test the IM functionality, test out the send attachment feature etc. I set up OF to use the existing Active Directory on Windows Server 2022 Standard Edition. All users are using the same build of Windows 11 Pro, a couple of users are using Windows 11 Workstation Edition as they have some pimped up workstations for 3D rendering CAD/AutoDesk/Adobe etc. I managed to set the two clients up so they can message each other, and the AD mapping seems to have worked, but they do not get a ‘new message’ notification when they get one, whether it’s in an existing conversation or a new one. I’ve seen some posts where other users have reported this issue when they switched from Windows 10 to Windows 11, but I can’t find much follow up. I apologise in advance if this is version 44b of this complaint, I DID search the threads to try to look for ‘new message notification on Windows 11’ and it’s slim pickings! I’m 99.9% sure it’s something I’ve done or not done, if anyone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction, I’d be extremely grateful. Excited to use this new (to me!) tool and the users are too. Thanks for taking the time to read. Kind regards, Jamie
It’s officially a Windows 11 issue. Not sure what happened, but the taskbar flashing is very muted and not just with Spark.
