    The glowing can be shut off in the settings app.

    Edit: I may be wrong, this may only work for the Win 11 taskbar. If so, sorry!

    Edit 1: To not double post, the flashing drives me nuts and this setting does work with SAB. @Ten2O let me know if this helps you prevent your burn in. You may need to reboot or restart explorer after changing this setting.

    Thanks for letting me know. I don't need this anymore though, as I contacted a friend who made me an AHK script (about 6 lines of simple code) that sets taskbar transparency to 0 when it's hidden. I've attached it if anyone else wants it.

    Don't use the Windows 8 theme then.... you are causing your own problem and complaining to us. Use the default theme, set taskbar to clear, opacity to 0 and you will see nothing when hidden.

    Otherwise burn baby burn.... 🪩 Maybe be a little more respectful to the developer as well, being nice gets you further.

    I paid $7 for the program, I should be able to suggest a feature that allows me to use it on OLED monitors without being told strange sayings? And apparently I'm disrespecting tihiy? I don't see where I was disrespectful at all other than my caps lock in the first comment, and you still see it in the default theme if a taskbar icon glows, such as when a download finishes. Maybe in the future when the classic taskbar code is removed Tihiy can fix the issue so burn-in doesn't happen.

    Not if you follow my instructions.

    Taskbar hidden:

    Taskbar showing:

    Set it to clear with 0% opacity and you won't see a thing at least as far as my eyes can tell.

    Otherwise as Tihiy said "We don't need no water". 😂

    I'm using Windows 8 theme. You still see the tops of taskbar items when it's hidden, no matter the opacity of the background.

     

    I still don't understand what you're talking about with that.

    You can set the opacity of the taskbar to 0% all of the time which is probably better for your OLED anyway.

    Also as a side note and to not double post NetWorx fixed the bug causing the taskbar to clip in their latest pre-release build: https://www.softperfect.com/special/snapshots/

    The tops of taskbar items are still visible. With the Win11 taskbar, the entire thing is invisible.

  5. Getting issue on Win11 22631.3296. When searching for items in start menu, startallback crashes and reloads. Only seems to happen a second after the search completes. If you search gibberish so the search can't complete, it doesn't crash.

    Taskbar and letting it burn has been around for ~30 years as is, have some respect.

    Simply making an option that sets the opacity of the background to 0 when it's hidden doesn't sound hard to me but whatever. Guess I'm stuck with translucentTB.

    Are you not going to fix it? What does this even mean? Why don't you just make it stop rendering the taskbar once it's fully hidden?

  8. Startallback causes BURN IN on OLED monitors!

     

    When auto hide taskbar is enabled, the top of the taskbar is still visible when it's hidden. This was fixed for the Windows 11 taskbar when OLED monitors came out, but it was never fixed in StartAllBack.

    Attached is an image example. I set the taskbar colour to green.

    Not all icons have bitmap representation anymore, like network icon. I've entertained idea of notification icon styles, but that comes jarring unless restyling every one ever. StartAllBack does not support 'classic unstyled' look.

    I am interested in Startallback supporting programs such as 7tsp that replace all the icons in the system. For example if I set Windows 7 skin in startallback, and I run 7tsp to replace all the icons in the system with the Windows 7 icons. Startisback supported this fine, but since Startallback replaces the icons in the tray, it does not use the icons that 7tsp replace in the files. The Windows 7 theme is forced to use Windows 11 icons, which does not fit at all. A simple way to stop icon replacement would fix this. The icons are replaced perfectly fine with startalback disabled and the windows 10 taskbar enabled using explorerpatcher, so it's possible, but that doesn't have a Windows 7 theme.

    If you're using 3.7 beta I believe the new systray doesn't support msstyles.

    That's a whole other can of worms. Where in my comment did I say msstyles? I said I replaced the ICONS, not the msstyles.

     

    This is something that Tihiy needs to fix, or the classic windows community can create a hard patch for Startallback that will make it so it doesn't replace the icons like this (why does it even do this?). It's ridiculous that people pay for a program that has forced features like this when it claims to support classic windows setups. We got a non immersive menu reg, where is the "don't replace the icons in the tray" reg? Or better, a setting in the GUI? Or, make the setting that you already HAVE that is supposed to turn off icon replacement, actually turn off the icon replacement in the tray? Startallback is an objectively worse program than startisback because of things like this, especially in a PAID app. There had better be a way to disable this I'm missing...

  11. How exactly would I find the hex value by kernel debugging? I try it but I don't understand what I need to do in order to find the memory address of the hex value that needs to be changed. I've been at it for a couple days straight and I still can't seem to figure out how I'm supposed to find it. I can pinpoint the moment that nvlddmkm unloads (the windows logo goes black) but I can't get it to happen without letting the OS load, meaning I can't find the exact point that it happens, despite trying for a really long time. I can't set a breakpoint there since there's no symbols and I don't know the address of the function that contains the version check...

     

    I also found this

    oh nice, how funny lmao. went and checked, youre on my friends list. perhaps we should catch up!
    yeah i dont really go on rs at the moment. being comped and there never really being any updates with a priority on monotonous mtx, it really isnt a fun experience anymore.

    windowblinds has always been a resource hog, it was terrible back in the windows xp days. im not entirely sure what windowblinds uses for its blur, but it doesnt use native dwm which is very odd. currently for now, i will stick to glass8 and the dwm patch to get it working until the inevitable day when that stops working too, then i may consider curtains.

    curious though, other than the lack of blur, does curtains have the ability to round the window corners? i installed the trial, but never used it as i never got round to doing so sadly so it ran out.

    DWM patch?
