Multi Monitor & AeroGlass


Recommended Posts

So I just installed AeroGlass and it's working great except one thing...my two other taskbars (3 monitors) are basically different then the middle one.

 

The middle one is fully transparent (startisback) yet the side ones are not. It's basically middle is 80% transparent, the sides appear to be 20% or something.

 

It was working before AeroGlass was installed. Anyone experience this, know how to fix it? I have re-booted.

Why do you bother saying stuff like that.

I asked if anyone else had this issue, obviously I want to use it lmao.

 

I wish I could have gotten aero glass to work on 8.1 :(

I use Display Fusion, and it was working fine. It's AeroGlass causing it.

it's not aeroglass causing it, it most likely is display fusion & how it implements the extended taskbars that causes your bug

 

edit: boo berry made a good point as well. it may be startisback adding to the issue as well

Actually, it might be StartIsBack causing it, as it does change the transparency of the taskbar. I'd try adjusting the taskbar transparency slider in StartIsBack. Or it could be Display Fusion, of course.

You can, there's a compatible version for Windows 8.1 now (just use the installer). :p

I installed the 8.1 version. I will play with all the settings of each program.

In StartIsBack try going to the configuration > Appearance and check Disable taskbar transparency.

I still don't understand the instructions.

Just use the installer and reboot, basically.

So, found a setting for DisplayFusion that makes the taskbars the same transparency, but when you hover over it, it goes back to full....better, not fixed though.

if you want just the basic aero then all you have to do is run the installer (i believe the default install path is C:\AeroGlass)

 

all the rest w/ the registry is preferential and doesn't need touched if you're not comfortable (the registry stuff only works if you generate a donation key anyway)

sounds like a bug then. report it to them & they should be able to fix it if they can replicate the issue :)

I am sorry but...  like I said, if it causes the problem, you can always disable or uninstall until the bug is solved.  

 

That's what I do when I have a problem arise on my system. At least UltraMon works on mine.

I think that's what it's suppose to do, as its not just the taskbar thats transparent, the icons (programs) are as well. Which if it was fixed, it would be hard to see the icons.
