adacom Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 a questionare there any settings to just have full aero of the taskbar - is it even possible - we all have different ideas and for me that would work - i dont want rounded corners and am not fussed about windows being aero at the top - for what i see of them its no big deal and if i set up the taskbar to be full aero then the windows tops are for me - maybe that can be set another way but i dont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusticles Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks anyone who sent me the files, I will provide testing version soon but don't expect it will work because I probably made some mistake And when Tusticles mentiones the themes thing, does anybody have access to Consumer/Developer preview theme? It looks similar as Release Preview with some details (such as the caption buttons looks more shiny etc.) "ColorizationColorInactive" & "ColorizationColorBalanceInactive" have no effect on custom themes, why?

bigmuscle Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 They should work and I just tested them with my RP theme and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmuscle Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Could you post registry screenshot? Maybe there is something I forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusticles Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Could you post registry screenshot? Maybe there is something I forgot.I found the problem, the msstyle name must be 'aero', changing the name will break those reg entries. Strange...

arsew32 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hello, guys. I have a question - why "blur" effect not working? It's just transparent.p.s. sorry for bad english... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORelio Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thank you. Just one small thing which I probably shoould mention before. Your images are from the list of the runnings apps which is child of the taskbar. The proper info for the taskbar can be retrieved when you move mouse to the leftest part of the taskbar. WinID should provide "No parent window" in brown text in the middle and Shell_TrayWnd for Class item.Tried again with the cursor in the right place:taksbar 1 : http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/7470/taskbar12.pngtaskbar 2 : http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/2492/taskbar22.pngThat's still not the same HWindow.

bigmuscle Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ah, thanks! Now it explains why it does not work. The secondary taskbar has different class name. Now I am interested (maybe in a stupid) thing, is it possible to have more than two displays with taskbar on each one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORelio Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Don't know, I only have one extra monitor available and plugged it only to make the test with WinID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakenabarion Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ah, thanks! Now it explains why it does not work. The secondary taskbar has different class name. Now I am interested (maybe in a stupid) thing, is it possible to have more than two displays with taskbar on each one?Oh I never really noticed the taskbar thing, but, now I notice the colours are different on each window as people are saying.Its difficult to test on 3 monitors for the average person. I have a GTX card with slots for 3 monitors but only 2 can work on a single card.Anyone here with a SLI setup? Thats the only way to test I think.

hello2u Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) It looks like I'm now running the debug version, because the main taskbar is now transparent, but AGTweaker is still saying BETA 2 so I'm not sure.Only differences appear to be that the main taskbar is transparent, and a bit of shading behind the windows, though that could be my theme and I'm just noticing it.I tried with native and non-native blurring, still can't adjust anything. Only change when tweaking is that the entire effect sometimes goes away when I use higher values.Here's a screenshot for debugging/admiring: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20887877/Jing/2013-04-18_1920.pngThank you for helping make it a reality!Oh and I have two monitors, though I'm pretty sure you can have unlimited taskbars as long as your computer can support enough displays.

ORelio Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) If you see "v0.85" or "(DEBUG)" you have the debug version, otherwise you have the normal version. (v0.8) Edited April 18, 2013 by ORelio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello2u Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) oh ok then, I'll try installing again later.Not sure why the taskbar started working, maybe it needed a restart.Update: The effect seems to be applying for the most part, but it isn't very good.Here's a few screenshots, each one is with the shown settings applied already:Low opacity, med blur, non-native blurlow opacity, med blur, nativemed opacity, high blur, native. Effect brokenmed opacity, med-high blur, non-nativelow opacity, low blur, non-nativezero opacity, low blur, nativeMy conclusions are that native/non-native blur doesn't make a difference, high levels cause the effect to stop working, and other values have little or no effect.There is slight transparency though.
