Windows 11 Tasbar Styler reload question

[surprisinguy1]

So I'm using Windhawk for my Windows 11 taskbar - I've changed the visual notation bars to show what's running. But when I reboot I have to turn off the Win11 Taskbar Styler and turn it back on so it will work. I dont know if Windhawk is loading something after it originally loads that hides the mod or not. Any help? Thanks

Hi, are you seeing the issue if you disable all other mods? Also, are you using any other customization tools such as ExplorerPatcher, StartAllBack, TranslucentTB, ExplorerBlurMica, etc.?

Hey, I havent tried disabling the other mods. I'm using TranslucentTB but that's it besides Windhawk. ChatGPT gave me a startup script to delay and reload Taskbar Styler but that didnt work.

Have you tried disabling it? That's a known incompatibility, see ramensoftware/windhawk-mods#1262 (comment).

so you're talking about disabling TranslucentTB? If so, is there a windhawk mod that does something similar?

so you're talking about disabling TranslucentTB?

Yes

If so, is there a windhawk mod that does something similar?

Windows 11 Taskbar Styler? What functionality are you using TranslucentTB for?

[surprisinguy1]

just for the clear taskbar - i had actually hadnt checked any other mod to see if that was a feature since TTB was working ok

You can achieve it with Windows 11 Taskbar Styler.

ok, let me see what i can do with that. thanks

[surprisinguy1]

so that worked! I used the "SimplyTransparent" theme. Is there a way to adjust the opacity at all?
I appreciate your help

Yes, you can specify a custom background color, see https://github.com/ramensoftware/windows-11-taskbar-styling-guide#taskbar-background.

Well that should help a LOT. Didnt realize there were certain web pages for the mods (I just installed the program and started from there)
. I should be able to figure it out from there and definitely learn about the other mods i have. Thanks!!

There are different resources for different mods, but each mod has a description which is the best place to start. For example, the styling guide is linked in the mod's description, which has links to other useful resources too: https://windhawk.net/mods/windows-11-taskbar-styler
