Description Makes your taskbar translucent with blur behind it. Only works on Win10.

CHANGELOG

VERSION 1.2
Added 2+ multi monitor support.Can not test it due to not having 2+ monitor,message me if you have any problems

VERSION 1.1
Added an option for disabling blur. Adding AccentState=2 to [TranslucentTaskbar] will disable the blur effect.

Basic Plugin Setup:
[TranslucentTaskbar]
Measure = Plugin
Plugin=TranslucentTaskbar
UpdateDivider=1



To disable Blur:

[TranslucentTaskbar]
Measure = Plugin
Plugin=TranslucentTaskbar
UpdateDivider=1
AccentState=2


Source code for the plugin : gist.github.com/arkenthera/7a8…

KNOWN ISSUES:

* Coming out of screen saver, skin gets broken and doesnt work until reloading. (Looking for a fix)
* after sleeping the PC and awaking it, skin gets broken and doesnt work until reloading.
* On multi-monitor setups, some people experienced their non-primary desktop taskbar reverts to original taskbar. I don't know the exact cause and I can't reproduce it on my PC.

After windows update to 1803, whenever i get out of game the Taskbar is not longer transparent and i have to Refresh it :/. I love that so much but this is annoying.

You can use a program called TranslucentTB, it's pretty lightweight and runs pretty well, looks awesome to

randomalyzer In reply to ??? [2019-02-26 04:17:32 +0000 UTC]

Is there any way to add a little bit of color, like lowering the opacity of the bar without making it completely transparent/translucent? I have a lot of webpages that are solid white, and when I have this skin enabled, I can't see things like the time, calendar, or hidden icons.
Thank you!

Acidinmyfridge In reply to ??? [2019-02-10 19:24:51 +0000 UTC]

It's not really translucent, just blurred. As soon as i open a browser window it's noticeable. Is there an option to change that?

Try editing the enum AccentTypes and mess w/ 
ACCENT_ENABLE_TRANSPARENTGRADIENT = 2

Seems to be glitchy, when using 2+ monitors, it glitches on the 2 monitor when smth enters on fullscreen mode, or when the color scheme is changed

Hey, this thing is awesome. But i have strange problem: with blur(on) all things work good, without blur(off) my program window "crawling" under taskbar a little bit.
How can i share screenshot if its need?

is there a way to resize the taskbar in a way that the only thing that has the blurred background is where there are icons?
