daveo76 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 If you like the default start menu can I use the Beta version of Classic Shell ONLY to get the blur to stick?Yes you can. I just tested it out for you 1
My1 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 well no as soon as you start the default start menu of W10 your transparency/blur etc. will go down at least I see that...
DosProbie Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) This is not that Complicated guys..1. Download the TaskbarBlur.zip files from Post #48 (Thanks to dhjohns Post #20 ) Which will add blur to your build 9926 taskbar.2. Use the Classic Shell Beta (which is for Windows 10 as already explained above) then you will have blur in the Start Menu and then when 'Launching' the Start Menu the Blur will 'Stick' on the taskbar (The Default Windows Start does not allow it to stick).3. Now the only time in my Testing So far when the Taskbar goes back to default is when changing Wallpaper and themes, and logging off and rebooting.4. But to Fix the reboot and logoff issue I also added a Run command to the Startup (as admin) of my Windows that will launch from my AeroGlass folder.~DP@Echo Off(NET FILE||(powershell -command Start-Process '%0' -Verb runAs -ArgumentList '%* '&EXIT /B))>NUL 2>&1reg add hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run /f /v TaskBarBlur /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%Systemdrive%\AeroGlass\AeroBlur.cmd">nulexit Edited January 28, 2015 by DosProbie 1

I really like the one they have now, and I always thought the Win 7 one sucked, LOL.
daveo76 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 well no as soon as you start the default start menu of W10 your transparency/blur etc. will go down at least I see that...It stayed on for me using W10 9926 and clasic shell 4.2.0 beta
My1 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 not for me. I can film this, but from me phone as I dont have any fitting software.
daveo76 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 not for me. I can film this, but from me phone as I dont have any fitting software.What version of classic shell was you using.
My1 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 4.2 beta, opening classic start menu is no problem but as soon as I do shift+click to open the Windows 10 STart menu it gets opaque again. also I modded the script a bit:@echo off:1SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd accent 0 0 0 0SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd blur truetimeout /T 2 /nobreakclsgoto 1this one applies the effect every 2 sec. you can change the number if you want, the only thing I want is that that could run without that cmd window... 1

My1 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I just thought a nice loop but that would be overkill so I thought, maybe there's a wait commant or alike, google and I found it.what I dont like is that I cannot make that start menu of W10 transparent. the only thing I now need is to get rid of the cmd and let it run in bg, usually ppl using scripts like these are clever enough on how to kill with task manager...

I forgot the name of it. Let you know later. My taskbar stays blurred all the time. But I'm not using debug version of aero glass
My1 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 as blur seems to be misunderstood often let me explain b4 posting:blur is the effect that something isnt sharp anymore like the text of a window behind a taskbar with blurTransparency is when you can see through something no matter whether you have a slight color in between or not...now to the post:and I dont even need blur, I always code my Aero without blur and I'd love to get rid of it in Win7 as well...
DosProbie Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 @Daveo76I thing you may be referring to Aero8Tuner for the transparency over at Winaero..~DP http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.95
DosProbie Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Getting better, here is a screen shot using AeroGlass test build with Custom Theme, Classic Shell, Transparency, buttons etc...~DP 2
