I have two problems with TranslucentSM #2

Hi @rounk-ctrl

Thank you for creating TranslucentSM, it's very cool, it's similar to BeautySearch for Win10

I have placed the executable inside the start menu folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup to run every time I start Windows. Then, the first time TranslucentSM is run, it creates a dll file (TAPdll.dll) in the same path where the executable is, and every time Windows is run, the following box always appears:

image_2

and if I delete the dll file, it is only recreated when start.exe is run after Windows startup/restart and the same box you already saw appears again.

Another thing, the translucent effect is lost when I click on the search field of the start menu as you can see in the video, can you fix it?

You can try using Task Scheduler to run the app ig

Thank you very much, your workaround worked. I just had to create a basic task in Task Scheduler and the popup window that I have shown you has not reappeared, but it is still pending that you can solve the bug that I have pointed out in the video, where the translucent effect is lost when I click on the search bar of the start menu.

that would require injecting into search, which is currently not possible since idk how to un-inject the dll from start

It's okay, no problem. I'll have to make do with what's there. Thank you anyway.
