Thanks for the link, Basj. I gave restarting Explorer.exe a shot, but the accent color I set is still showing up in File Explorer tabs. I’m wondering if a config file or registry setting is where Groupy stores the default accent color for apps? It would be helpful to know where to check or reset that.

To set the default color for Explorer back to None.

1) Right-click an Explorer tab and select "No Accent colour."
2) Right-click the Explorer tab a second time, and select "Save this Accent colour as default for this application."

If this doesn't solve your issue, please follow the direction from Basj in Reply #3.

After further investigation, I have found that the "Quick access Accent colours" in the context menu do not work as expected. However, if you use "Pick Accent colour..." it does work as expected.

Once the tab color has been picked using the "Pick Accent colour..." the "Quick access Accent colours" menu choice now works until the window is closed. The tab color does persist, but to change the tab color to a new color, this process has to be repeated when opening the window again.

However, the "No Accent Colour" still does not work. It simply reverts to the previous color choice.

There appears to be a bug in the code related to personalizing the tab colors.

Carfar02 and Basj, can you test this on your systems and see if you get the same result and report back.

To me that seems to confirm there is bug somewhere.

Basj, please test on your system (see Reply #6). If you get the same results as carfar2 and i, please report to the Dev. team.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Groupy\Groupy.ini\Groupy\SavedColoursApps

This is the Registry key. I deleted the color values for explorer.exe and c:\windows\explorer.exe and that works for now.
