Find "controlStyles[0].styles[3]": "CornerRadius=25" and change the CornerRadius value to any number of your choice to customize the appearance as per your preference.
Taskbar Width:
To adjust the width of the Modern Center Taskbar and Modern Round Taskbar, follow these instructions:
- To reduce the taskbar width, locate the following lines in the code and adjust the red values. Make sure to increase all red values by the same amount
"controlStyles[0].styles[0]": "Margin=540,0,540,2",
"controlStyles[1].styles[0]": "Margin=0,0,275,2","controlStyles[5].styles[0]": "Margin=273,0,0,2", - Example: If you want to reduce the width by 150 pixels, add 150 to each red value:
Change540 to 690,275 to 425, and273 to 423."controlStyles[0].styles[0]": "Margin=690,0,690,2",
"controlStyles[1].styles[0]": "Margin=0,0,425,2","controlStyles[5].styles[0]": "Margin=423,0,0,2",
By following this method, you can easily adjust the taskbar width to suit your preference.
Taskbar Corner Radius Customization
To adjust the corner radius of the taskbar:
- Locate the
CornerRadiusin the code. - The value determines the radius for each corner:
- Example:
CornerRadius=5sets all four corners to a radius of 5. - Example:
CornerRadius=21,5,5,21allows you to customize each corner individually:- Top-left corner: 21
- Top-right corner: 5
- Bottom-left corner: 5
- Bottom-right corner: 21
Adjust the Value
To apply the same radius to all corners, use a single value (e.g., CornerRadius=10).
To set different radii for each corner, use four values separated by commas in the order: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right (e.g., CornerRadius=15,10,10,15).
This allows for flexible customization of the taskbar’s appearance.
