TF not functioning on certain app tray menus #131

Closed Undisputed00x closed 4 months ago

Undisputed00x commented 7 months ago

Some app tray menus are not getting affected by TFv3 (latest release) at all, both using the x64 and x32 versions and still no result. This issue is from V2 (i dont know about V1) and i thought because no one has made a ticked about it i would make one. An interesting thing is that these tray menus are getting properly modified by my custom windows theme which raises more questions about the problem with TF. Win11 23H2 Using apps that maybe can conflict: RTB, TTB, MFE, DWMBG, SmartTaskbar My TF registry settings: TFreg.zip

Below some examples

This is probably caused by the change to uxtheme on 23H2, the other unaffected ones are called immersive context menus. I will check this issue later.

@Undisputed00x I use some of your apps: RTB — Not even working, uninstalled. TTB — Completely fine. MFE — Using alternative EBM (Explorer Blur Mica) DWMBG — Completely fine.

Any update on this issue...

@Undisputed00x Let me simply explain why TF doesn't work on the tray menus of some applications, firstly for NVIDIA Control Panel, it seems that TF doesn't have enough permissions to inject into it's process, so it doesn't work. Secondly for MsiAfterburner, its process is x86 architecture and only TF for x86 architecture can inject into it. SmartTaskbar handles some of the drawing itself, which makes TF think that it has done all the drawing by itself and should not be intervened, so TF doesn't work either. In short, they cannot be fixed.
