Opacity for Thumbnails & Controls background ?

[nut]

Hi !

Is it possible to add opacity for thumbnails & controls background ? (Correct path is Windows 8 -> Taskband Extended UI -> Background)
There is property for it, but it doesn't do anything :/

8 seems to ignore opacity everywhere except on taskbar.

No because DWM is drawing an opaque color, not the msstyles. You can use Glass8 and it'll add transparency there along with the windows.

Okay, thanks.

More questions.
Where is that white line coming from ? I know that that button is Taskband's ListItem Hover.
Also, where is that arrow glyph ?



Alt + Tab menu
What's that selected rectangle image ?



Thanks.

1) Not sure what I'm seeing here. Is this at the bottom or top of a long vertical list of thumbnails that you need to scroll because the only place I've ever seen an arrow like that is

Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Aero > TaskBandExtendedUI > Horizontal > Thumbnails & Controls > ScrollBar > Glyph Image

If so then that white line could be part of your images at either

Windows 8 (For Testing Purposes Only) > Taskband Extended UI (Vertical) > Background
Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Aero > TaskBandExtendedUI > Vertical > Thumbnails & Controls (Vertical) > Background

2) I don't think you can change that white border or white title textcolor. I think they are hard-coded in 8

I found the glyph but not any luck with the others.
And yes it's extended taskband which is in the first picture.
That same white line is present on default style also, don't know what it is.

But thanks.

Edit: Sorry to bother you guys again, but i just noticed that command module button has turned it's style into classic. Button itself is still default, so it's not skinned.
What's causing that ?

That's usually caused by Windows loading C:\Windows\System32\shellstyle.dll rather than your theme's shellstyle. Which means there might be a missing property its looking for or your shellstyle has an issue.

The problem seems to be with wsb. If i apply that style through windows, then it's fine.

Make sure you have an 8.1 shellstyle in your theme folder. Maybe that's your problem.

BTW that light gray line in your TBUI scrollbar picture means that you still have some of that color in your image at

 Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Aero > TaskBandExtendedUI > Horizontal > Thumbnails & Controls > ScrollBar > Main Image

Check it to make sure.

I'll check it.
Btw. Is it possible to force 92dpi on ? I'd like to use higher caption bar height, but it automatically swithes to 192dpi setting.
Window control glyphs are now way too far away from each other.

Edit: Yup, that was it. I only edited glyphs not the main image.
