Taskbar color - build 9926
In build 9926 it seems that the Windows Taskbar transparency is gone. Which, for me, is not a good thing.
On the positive side, we've gained control over taskbar color through registry keys:
To change the Taskbar color add DWORD:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarColorOverride
Format is hex, color foormat is BGR (not RGB, as would be more intuitive)
To change Plate color (the color under active icon) add DWORD:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TaskbarPlateOverrideColorBGR
Format is hex, color format is BGR (again)
To change Plate opacity add DWORD
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TaskbarPlateOverrideOpacityA
Format is decimal, range 0-256
To refresh just press Win key (Open and close Start menu).
Example registry file (use at your risk and don't blame me for the global warming, etc, etc)
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "TaskbarPlateOverrideColorBGR"=dword:00054de0 "TaskbarPlateOverrideOpacityA"=dword:00000100 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "TaskbarColorOverride"=dword:00635a56
