Made a few changes #351

Nathaniel4JC · 2025-09-13T05:53:46Z

More Blur!
Changed the height of the taskbar/ icons (so the theme will no look good even without "taskbar height and icon size" mod)

- More Blur - Adjusted taskbar/ icon Height - Other small changes

…kbar-Styler

- More Blur! - Changed taskbar/ icon height

- Restored the Virtual Desktop Bar in Task View

@bbmaster123 Hi again, when you can, please review this...

SandTechStuff · 2025-09-15T04:33:16Z

Themes/WindowGlass/README.md

-In order to make the taskbar look better, it's best that you install the 'Taskbar height and icon size' mod and use the following setting for the mod:
-
-<details>
-<summary>Click to expand JSON content</summary>
-
-```json
-{
-  "IconSize": 30,
-  "TaskbarHeight": 70,
-  "TaskbarButtonWidth": 44,
-  "IconSizeSmall": 20,
-  "TaskbarButtonWidthSmall": 30
-}
-```
-</details>


IMO I would keep instructions on setting the icon size with the taskbar height and icon size mod, as setting the icon size directly through the taskbar styler leads to the icons becoming blurry.

Setting size with styler

Setting size with taskbar height and icon size mod

I guess you're right...

@Nathaniel4JC
hey just took a look at your updated code, but I also see you're fixing a few more things, should I wait a bit longer to merge?

Also, I hadn't considered that you would still be around to help out and respond to users lol
many of the other submission's authors did not stick around!

I started working on fixing some of the issues too a few days ago, although probably not very different, maybe you could compare my code to yours and steal anything good from mine to stick into yours :)

Ok... WIll do!

- A new [experimental] version of the theme has been added, which separates the system tray from the taskbar

m417z · 2025-10-13T19:23:50Z

@Nathaniel4JC is this work in progress, or is it ready to be merged?

Nathaniel4JC · 2025-10-14T16:48:58Z

sry... I've been busy lately... this version is still in need of a l'il work... all the other themes(for the other styler mods) are ready to be merged tho...

Nathaniel4JC · 2025-10-14T16:49:22Z

I'll try completing this asap...

SandTechStuff · 2025-10-14T18:35:40Z

You could convert it to a draft PR, and then set it as ready for review when you are finished if that makes communication easier.

Added few notes to Readme about the alternate versions

Nathaniel4JC · 2025-10-15T06:44:45Z

Done and ready to be merged!!

Added a new version of the taskbar

Nathaniel4JC · 2025-10-17T12:19:15Z

@m417z Do I have to address the conflict or will you do it?

m417z · 2025-10-17T12:21:35Z

Please address it, or let me know if you need help with it.

- Increased readability

m417z · 2025-10-28T19:48:06Z

What about @SandTechStuff's note about removing the "Taskbar height and icon size" section?

@SandTechStuff can you review the changes since last time?

The Virtual Desktop bar now scales automatically based on the number of open virtual desktops

- Most screenshots updated. - Icon Height is now set by the "Taskbar size and Icon Height" mod.
