Accessability: Need to be able to turn off the new application indicator color #2054

Description

@jhudsoncedaron

Describe the bug

Went into emergency due to a windows update breaking the start menu on high contrast black; had to install open shell because it was something I could do with the auto start applications that were open

We have a lesser accessibility bug in open shell caused by the new application indicator; it uses a foreground color as a background color; that's verboten. The particular failure mode is the overbright color results in the adjacent items being unreadable.

The particular feature is the new application indicator; it's a lot cheaper to provide an option to turn it off rather than use it.

Area of issue

Start menu

To reproduce

  1. Start with a new windows install
  2. Enable high contrast black
  3. Install open shell
  4. Configure classic start menu
  5. Observe the black on bright orange coloration for some apps (in this case open shell itself will be bright orange)

Expected behavior

Expected usable coloration

Open-Shell version

4.4.191

Windows version

Version 10.0.26100.2605

Additional context

I have an accessability problem involving bright light forcing use of high contrast black -> night sky
