TaskItemButton Flash with Combined Tasks

[Log1x]

Hey there.

I'm working on a theme & managed to change my TaskItemButton's & GroupTab/GroupTabFocus to exactly what I want. It's working perfect, except when theres 2 windows Grouped together, and one gets an Alert (like an Instant Message for example) -- it's not flashing. When there's only 1 window, the flashing is working as intended. Does anybody know how to get it to flash the image set in TaskItemButton even with 2 windows grouped? (read my edit please )

Thanks a lot.

P.S. I'm in Taskbar & System Tray -> TaskBand -> Basic -> TaskBand


EDIT: It appears the flash isn't working in general, but is working on my second taskbar powered by the DisplayFusion program (which just mimics the Windows start bar). Anybody have any idea?

The Task Item Button images have to have some transparency or the flash button won't flash

Hmm, okay. How much transparency? Is there an example you have on hand? I'm currently working with:



I tried to add 1% opacity but I guess that was pretty wishful thinking.

I do notice when things are pinned it's doing the hover and what not differently..I'm assuming that has a lot to do with it. I read in another thread that there's some problem with that. Eh, I don't mind the hover being styled like that if it has too...I'd just like my alerts working as it gets confusing sometimes. ^_^

Thanks for the help! And btw, 3am: insanely good job on all the maps!

I  don't know offhand the exact amount. Maybe 50%. And I'm not sure if all states have to be translucent. I make them all translucent. But it might not be necessary. Experiment and have somebody keep flashing you

Oh and thanks for the map comment

Thanks a ton!

For informational purposes: only the "Opened" needs to be transparent. I'm using 1% atm & had to disable "Animations in the taskbar" so it didn't change to the application color. Luckily it still exists in Windows 8, it was just renamed as seen here:
