Description
A Plea.
Deanna and I (Your Older Geeks) have been running OlderGeeks.com since 2008 and lately we are seeing a major increase in usage (and cost) but a big decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring in. Please donate on the website today. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.

TranslucentTB v2024.3

Make the Windows taskbar translucent or transparent.

A lightweight (uses a few MB of RAM and almost no CPU) utility that makes the Windows taskbar translucent/transparent on Windows 10 and Windows 11.




Features:
• Advanced color picker supporting alpha and live preview to change the taskbar's color.
• Taskbar states (choose one - color can be customized on every state except Normal):
-Normal: Regular Windows style. (as if TranslucentTB was not running)
-Opaque: Tinted taskbar, without transparency.
-Clear: Tinted taskbar.
-Blur: Will make the taskbar slightly blurred. Windows 10 and Windows 11 build 22000 only.
-Acrylic: Will give the taskbar an appearance similar to Microsoft's Fluent Design guidelines.
• Dynamic modes (these can be used together and each of them provides a taskbar state and color you can customize):
-Visible window: Will change the taskbar to a different appearance if a window is currently open on the desktop.
-Maximized window: Will change the taskbar to a different appearance if a window is currently maximised.
-Start opened: Will change the taskbar appearance when the start menu is opened.
-Search opened: Will change the taskbar appearance when the search menu (previously Cortana) is open.
-Task View opened: Will change the taskbar apperance when the Task View (previously Timeline) is open.
• On Windows 10, ability to show or hide the Aero Peek button depending on the currently active dynamic mode.
• On Windows 11, ability to show or hide the taskbar line depending on the currently active dynamic mode.

Add to Startup:
To add TranslucentTB to startup, check the "Open at boot" entry in the TranslucentTB tray icon's context menu. If you are having issues or the entry in the context menu is grayed out, try applying the following registry changes:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableFullTrustStartupTasks"=dword:00000002
"EnableUwpStartupTasks"=dword:00000002
"SupportFullTrustStartupTasks"=dword:00000001
"SupportUwpStartupTasks"=dword:00000001


Supported operating systems:
Windows 10 (18362.0 or higher) and Windows 11.

Changes:
v2024.3
New features
Reintroduce the Blur feature on XAML-based taskbars (Windows 11 22H2 and up)
It is possible to control the radius of this effect via the blur_radius property in the JSON configuration file. This property has no effect on non-XAML based taskbars (for example, Windows 10 and Windows 11 21H2).
Users restoring the classic taskbar on Windows 11 22H2 and up (for example through ExplorerPatcher) cannot use this, because the blur composition attribute has been removed from the operating system.

Bug fixes
Fix crashes on application close related to DispatcherQueue
Fix Search opened on newer Windows 11 builds
Rework how XAML diagnostics is initialized to hopefully reduce the error rate

Various improvements/changes
Support for Korean locale.
This release migrates from the Azure Code Signing private preview to the public Microsoft Trusted Signing service. Unfortunately as part of this migration, the certificate subject changed slightly (an accent was added to the e in Québec).
Because of that, this releases uses a new GUID for the tray icon. Your preferences related to the tray icon will be reset.
Make the hide_tray option hidden to avoid users unintentionally hiding the tray icon.
Add a new hidden copy_files option that disables the copying of DLLs to a temporary folder.
PDBs are now hosted using Azure DevOps Symbol Server and use SourceLink.
