How did you center all the icons on the task bar like that?

When I press the windows key or enter the start menu it disables. Any suggestions?

If you're using full-screen start menu then that's normal.

works great thank you, the only problem I found is that you have to refresh it each time you enter the windows menu , is there a way to fix this ?

I'm not getting this behavior... I can access the start menu and exit it without the need to refresh anything. May I ask what is your screen's resolution?

I'm using a 1366x768 screen can this be the problem ?

I afraid so. Can you please check the height of your taskbar in pixels and tell me if it's 40 or something else?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you ment inside the .ini file then yes it's 40 , I don't know if there is somewhere else to check

Not in the ini... Try this:
Deactivate my skin entirely.
Take a screenshot.
Open a photo editing software (pohotshop etc)
Zoom in until you can see actual pixels and count how many pixels of black you see. If you can't do that, upload a screenshot of your desktop and post a link here and I'll tell you what to do

Downloaded and installed, but it isn't doing anything when I maximize a window. My taskbar is at the top of the screen. Should that make a difference?

Get the new version and select from the "Settings" config, your taskbar's location.
-Thanks for reporting.

Thanks for the update. I see the taskbar flash now, but it remains translucent. Tried moving my taskbar to the bottom and reloading your skin and seeing the same thing.

Please tell me what you mean by flashing, does it become translucent and then normal again? Also did you load the skin from the "Settings"? And one last question, you have windows 10 right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
By flashing I mean it looks like attempts to turn off translucent taskbar and then immediate turns it back on; like flipping a light switch from on to off to on rapidly, once. Can take about a second for it to happen, which matches the time that your skin is checking if an update is needed.
Yes, I loaded it from Settings, using Win 10 and RM 4.2.0 r3111
Dumb question, but I am supposed to have Translucent Taskbar loaded and running as well, correct? I ask because of the TranslucentTaskbar.ini file in your skin. New to RM, so some of this is all new to me.

Fixed it! Pilot error on my end.

Oh okay, I'm glad to hear that! If anything else occurs, let me know. (Just for the shake of answering your question, you don't have to load any skin except for the settings.ini. Then you select your taskbar's location and everything else that needs to be loaded is being loaded automatically.)

You don't even have to do this now. Just download and install the skin.

This works but doesn't work instantly. Takes ~1 second and it's pretty noticeable. Is it supposed to be this way or is it working instantly for you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The skin updates every 1 second. If you want you can have it update every half a second or even less, down to every 16milliseconds, but it will use more CPU... You can try changing it to 0,5 seconds without impacting your CPU in any serious way and see if you like it better. I usually click on a program and then look up to whatever the content is so I don't really notice it. Unless you actually look at the taskbar while changing from desktop view to maximized window view, you shouldn't notice it. I, personally, stopped noticing it after some hours of using this. (Also take in consideration the half of a second that it takes for the Windows animation to actually maximize the window.)

Second line in the AdaptiveTranslucentTaskbar.ini says "Update=1000" that's time in milliseconds. Don't go under 16 tho, because Rainmeter doesn't support update rates lower than that. Even that is a bit extreme.
