How to keep color/translucency of taskbar after applying a theme? #80

Open laurorual opened 3 weeks ago

laurorual commented 3 weeks ago

So, i'm trying to apply this theme on Taskbar Styler: https://www.vinstartheme.com/windows-11x-taskbar/ But, no matter what i do my taskbar goes black and looses the translucency, something that shouldn't happen (given how in the screenshots and the video i've seen the color/translucency of the taskbar keeps the same as before). How do i fix this?

change Rectangle#BackgroundFill Visibility value Collapsed

"controlStyles[2].target": "Rectangle#BackgroundFill", "controlStyles[2].styles[0]": "Visibility=Collapsed",

then adjust the TintOpacity value in controlStyles[1].

"controlStyles[1].styles[0]": "Background:=<AcrylicBrush TintColor=\"{ThemeResource SystemChromeAltHighColor}\" TintOpacity=\"0.5\" FallbackColor=\"{ThemeResource SystemChromeLowColor}\" />",

I did that, but now it's completely black: Captura de tela 2024-08-23 192505

make sure transparency effects are turned on in settings > personalization > colors also make sure power saver is turned off if you have that setting, if not ignore that let me know!

transparency effects are already turned on and power saver is not the currently active profile

@laurorual do you have multiple monitors? There's this known limitation: https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk-mods/issues/742

@vinstartheme I understand that you're the author of the theme. How about submitting it to this repo and adding it to the mod, so that it'll be easier for users to configure - by selecting the theme in the settings instead of copying and pasting the config JSON?
