MDJ Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Why blur on the taskbar isn‘t enabled even after using a VS named aero.msstyles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhjohns Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Why blur on the taskbar isn‘t enabled even after using a VS named aero.msstyles?Well if you go to bm's download page at the bottom there is "Command line tool to change window's composition attributes." You can enable taskbar blur that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to reduce how opaque taskbar is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDJ Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) http://glass8.eu/guide.htmlI read your guide but I‘ve already read readme.txt included with SetWindowCompositionAttribute so I thought that using these command line functionsSetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd accent 0 0 0 0SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd blur truewould be the way to achieve the effect I wanted. Now I noticed that accent settings revert to default after desktop background is changed or Start Menu is opened so this is why my taskbar is kind of opaque even after disabling accent. So the question is how do I prevent accent settings from reverting to default? Edited August 17, 2015 by MDJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My1 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 we already had this in here. search for my posts, I already posted a workaround (a loop that repeats every 2 seconds or whatever, so always restoring the taskbar soon enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDJ Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Do you mean this? 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... Has anyone found a better solution? It‘d be great if there would be something that wouldn‘t need to stay on the taskbar and make it flicker when reverting accent settings.

I have created a 2nd desktop, press the window key and tab key, right click that cmd window, and send it to 2nd desktop where I don't have to look at it.

bigmuscle Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) We are approaching build #150 soon... New experimental debug build #149 can be downloaded on my website. Now, 64-bit only.What's new? Mainly stability fixes but I added two experimental features you can play with: - you can change caption buttons size by putting line "CaptionHeight=XXX" into your atlas layout file (it influences both width and height, separate change is not possible!)- you can force DWM to accept system metrics on windows frames in SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM by setting value ForceSystemMetrics to 0x1 (DWORD)- by setting ForceSystemMetrics values to > 1, you can modify frame margins Edited August 17, 2015 by bigmuscle 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adacom Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 build 149 looks fine to me - but then so did the earlier ones - the extra bits to play with work - am learning about system metrics - seems to give many possibilities without having to build a new theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rfire Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) CaptionHeight 15 seems to be exactly like Windows 7's caption buttons. Now that the fat buttons are gone, hopefully a solution will arise to have centered titlebar text like on 8.1. Windows 10 seems to completely ignore .msstyles files that specify a centered orientation. I personally like 12: Edited August 17, 2015 by Rfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
