dhjohns Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I would say #491 is pretty stable and flawless in build 10586... could not find anything that would not make it very well for release candidate. And that being said TH2 users would deserve any official release that could be used without forced debugging and watermark (though still wondering how dhjohns managed to get it run without watermark).It just stopped appearing! Still no watermark on build 491, neither on desktop nor on full screen video! Life is good!

dhjohns Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 no more blur on task bar with build 491Do you want blur?

carlitosoo555 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) is this normal? i mean, the close button always remain in red? (build 491 in th2 10586). Edited November 15, 2015 by carlitosoo555
dhjohns Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 is this normal? i mean, the close button always remain in red? (build 491 in th2 10586). That is normal, but you can change it with various theme atlases. Mine, for example is not colored at all until I hover over it. When I do the X glows red, the rectangle glows blue, and the - glows green!
MineMasterHD Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Here's a quick timesaver: Don't try downloading these builds in Edge. For some reason it won't work and it gives you this weird text.

For some reason it won't work and it gives you this weird text.If you want to download in Edge here is the workaround. Right-click link, and choose save as. Click in the box where the file name is, and backspace. The file name with the 7z extension will appear. Click on that, and download. Show the file in folder when complete, and get rid of anything after the 7z. In my case it was htm.

dhjohns Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I haven't found any that work as well, except for the default ones.
MineMasterHD Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 no more blur on task bar with build 491Do you want blur? I don't know about -Tex-, but I sure want a blurred taskbar. All we get now is a transparent one.
dhjohns Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Go to bigmuscle's download page. Click on "Command line tool to change window's composition attributes." It will download a file called SetWindowCompositionAttribute.7z. Extract. Put the executable in \Windows\System32. Then save below code in notepad as Taskbarblur.cmd. Make sure "hide extensions for known file types" is NOT checked.@echo off:1SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd accent 0 0 0 0SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd blur trueSetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd accent 0 0 0 0SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd blur truetimeout /T 2 /nobreakclsgoto 1If you do NOT have two monitors the lines with SecondaryTrayWnd can be removed. Place this on you C-Drive. Then save below code as Taskbarblur.vbs. This will ensure that NO command window is present when program is running.Dim WinScriptHostSet WinScriptHost = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")WinScriptHost.Run Chr(34) & "C:\TaskBarblur.cmd" & Chr(34), 0Set WinScriptHost = NothingThis should be saved in your startup folder. You can save it on your desktop first then in the Run dialog (Windows Key + R) type in shell:startup and press OK. This will open your startup folder, and you can move the vbs file there. Now just log off, and back on, and low-and-behold you have TaskBarBlur! Edited November 15, 2015 by dhjohns
