Idea: Smart Audio Playing in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

I had this idea for a while. Recently, I tried to find a way to do it myself but I couldn't (I'd be happy to hear if anybody has one). The idea is for DeskScapes to play audio, but only in the absence of any other audio stream. Then I thought it may actually worth to share, and be interesting enough for the developers to work on. It would be even better if it automatically detects warning sounds and short audios and ignores them, technically it only needs to mute the dreamscene audio for cert

No I needed chrome's tray icon to receive notifications on some youtube channel's live videos, so I created a task with the following trigger: [code="xml"] *[System[Provider[@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing'] and Task = 13312 and (band(Keywords,9007199254740992)) and (EventID=4688)]] and *[EventData[Data[@Name='NewProcessName'] and (Data="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe")]] [/code] And the following Actions: [code="a

Apart from that, I had created a task to restart chrome's tray process without windows 10 title bar feature, I think a similar feature could also be added to windowblinds as an option if you ever found another solution like that.

Confirmed, it's not working any more. This is ridiculous, they removed the taskbar preview feature eons ago I really don't get it what's the point of this windows 10 titlebar feature why would they even do that.

Mine's 10.81 too, but taskbar is only fixed in light mode which causes clock to disappear.

Clock's Gone in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Tried to remove/reinstall, taskbar clock's still gone when I apply any Windowblinds skin. I'm also using start10 10.71 and deskscapes 10.0 if that helps. Also, the problem only happens with light windows mode, and taskbar buttons only work in light mode.

Reply to is there a way to make diamond less blurry in 10.74? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

It's not MS, they added this new "too blurry" transparent effect to dwm as a response to the majority of windows 10 users who wanted to have win 7 transparency back, and once again guys at Redmond did a great job imitating apple (this is exactly how transparency effect looks like on macOS) but you won't see it unless you update WB to the latest version in which it uses dwm's native transparency not only on 7 and 8 but also on 10. And it doesn't have anything to do with start10 or winFX since

Thanks I really appreciate it. Chasbo if you only want Start10 to be transparent (like in Dark Glass picture) create a DWORD32 called "EnableBlurBehind" in "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize" and set its value to "0" it will disable blur for start menu.

Reply to is there a way to make diamond less blurry in 10.74? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I'm pretty sure the problem is not with the skins or even Windows 10, since in WB 10.65 everything's just fine it's not too blurry and it's not too clear and produces a moderate transparency/blurriness similar to win 7, I tried modifying and manipulating any settings and files I could think of but nothing has worked so far.I'm out of ideas, even changing registry value for BlurBehind doesn't work and only affects start 10, so the only option left is to keep my fingers crossed till the next up

Thanks Basj, what did they say is there a way to change its value in 10.74 or should I wait till the next update? By the way if if it's gonna be fixed later please make sure they put it on the list for the the next update, thanks again.

is there a way to make diamond less blurry in 10.74? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

In previous versions the transparent areas weren't so blurry but it looks like 10.74 is replicating windows 10 native transparency effect and it's too blurry, is there any way to reduce it? Reducing or increasing transparency didn't work. Using Windows 10 1809 and Nvidia GTX 960 Thanks
