dhjohns Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I had Classic Shell on 10240 build to enable blur on the taskbar, After 10586 update classic shell is not running but taskbar is blurred - is it an Aeroglass dev build 491 feature, Classic Shell update bug or random Microsoft experiment that enables blur on the taskbar in my 10586 build now?I think it may be some sort of Classic Shell update bug. I have never used Classic Shell. I love the new Start Menu. I have always used SetWindowCompositionAttribute to get taskbar blur.
booskyboo Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 i just tried 506 dev build and taskbar is not blurred - only 491 dev build makes taskbar blurred. Maybe Classic Shell and 491 buld use similar settings or something

But if you only using Classic Shell just for taskbar blur then you better of using SetWindowCompositionAttribute for taskbar blur

booskyboo Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Classic Shell didn't start up on boot after 10586 update was installed and taskbar wasn't blurred -but instead of starting the Classic Shell manually or reinstalling it i downloaded Aero Glass 491 and the taskbar got blurred.Classic Shell is not running in the Task manager and i don't really need SetWindowComposition cause 491 makes it blurred by default
NoelC Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Classic Shell didn't start up on boot after 10586 update was installed and taskbar wasn't blurred - It may be still installed and partially running. It continued to run for most folks after the 10586 update. -Noel
booskyboo Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Judging by blur deviation setting on the taskbar matching the window frame and lack of any traces in Task Scheduler the only leftovers might be some modified system files or registry settings. I actually run uninstall for Classic Shell and it might have reverted some 10240 files or registry settings. Classic Shell always didn't match the blur on the windows - with straight lines from the wallpaper visibly overblurred compared to blur on windows frames Was it reported yet if programs installed on 10240 can revert old files if uninstalled under 10586?
carlitosoo555 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Everything is working great with build #506 in threshold 2, i had some problems with UxThemeSignatureBypass and text in titlebar, but, finally is working, yes, i like complete transparency in titlebar and taskbar, no color, no blur, only glass reflection, i'm using clsharp_v4.2 theme, thanks Bigmuscle: Edited November 24, 2015 by carlitosoo555
MineMasterHD Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Even while using NoelC's SquareBorders105986 theme atlas (Colored version), I still have the issue with the modern app titlebars. Also, where is this opacity slider for adjusting the transparency?

NoelC Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Note how screen grabs like the one shown by dhjohns above include pixels from outside the "borderless" application, because there actually IS a control out there. That's just one of the many things I dislike about the poorly integrated [lack of] design that is the Windows desktop. It's like children who know nothing of design (much less GOOD design) worked it over in the name of "new and improved". -Noel

NoelC Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Look for a tool in Big Muscle's set called ModernFrame.dll for affecting the title bars on Modern Apps. -Noel
