Aero Fan Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I tried to apply aero effect on taskbar by running C:\AeroGlass\SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd accent 0 0 0 1 C:\AeroGlass\SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd blur true However, after I press the start button, the blur strength of taskbar gets reset and I have to run C:\AeroGlass\SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd accent 0 0 0 1 once again. Is there any way to prevent this? I am just following readme.txt that comes with SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero Fan Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 @Dreamweaver01 Thanks for the link! I've managed to do it with @Rabangus 's way. However I don't like the fact that now taskbar blinks each time I press the start button. It becomes non-blur at first and then becomes blur. I would appreciate if anybody can point out a way to prevent from taskbar being changing when a start button is pressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamweaver01 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi again, I use the start menu replacement 'Classic Shell' which lets you switch from one menu to the other. It will also make the taskbar transparent or a glass blur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero Fan Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 It looks like 'Classic Shell' changes the start menu to window 7 style start menu.. I'd like to keep windows 10 style start menu, so that's not an option.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamweaver01 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 It does, but if you carefully go through the settings you'll find several ways to switch back and forth by using mouse or keyboard. I use a middle mouse button click. Another is the win key plus a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero Fan Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Thank you for answer, I actually tried classic shell and it blurs taskbar well, and there was an option to open Windows 10 start menu with Shift+Win. Classic Start Menu Settings -> tick on "Show all settings" -> click on "Taskbar" tab -> Set "Taskbar look" to "Glass" and modify "Taskbar opacity". Also in "Windows 10" tab, there is an option to enabling opening the original start menu by pressing Shift+Win. I still couldn't find a way to make it default - Windows 10 start menu should open when I press Windows key and when I click on the start button..

Dreamweaver01 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I know, there a lot on settings to go through. I'm in Win7 right now so I can't check but I seem to remember settings to program what a left click does and what the Win key does. You can set them to open the Win10 start menu.
