Taskbar Width:
The width of the taskbar can be controlled by adjusting the MaxWidth and MinWidth properties. By default, the taskbar width is set to 1050 pixels.
Default Values:
"controlStyles[0].styles[0]": "MaxWidth=1050", "controlStyles[0].styles[3]": "MinWidth=1050",
If you want to change the taskbar width, modify these values to your preferred width in pixels. For example, setting both to 1200
will make the taskbar 1200 pixels wide.
System Tray Frame Adjustment:
If you adjust the taskbar width, you also need to modify the margin of the System Tray Frame to ensure it is aligned properly. The margin value should be adjusted to be approximately 250 pixels less than the new taskbar width.
System Tray Frame Margin Adjustment:
"controlStyles[15].styles[1]": "Margin=800,0,0,0",
For example, if the taskbar width is set to 1050
pixels, the margin should be 800
. If you change the taskbar width to 1200
, the margin would be 950
.
Taskbar Corner Radius:
The corner radius defines the roundness of the taskbar’s corners. By default, it is set to 20
.
Corner Radius Property:
"controlStyles[1].styles[4]": "CornerRadius=20",
You can increase or decrease this value depending on how rounded you want the corners to appear. A higher number increases the roundness, and a lower number reduces it.
Taskbar Background: Opacity
The background of the taskbar is controlled using the AcrylicBrush property, which allows for a translucent effect. The background can be customized by adjusting the TintLuminosityOpacity
values.
Default Background Settings:
"controlStyles[1].styles[5]": "Background:=<AcrylicBrush TintColor=\"{ThemeResource CardStrokeColorDefaultSolid}\" FallbackColor=\"{ThemeResource CardStrokeColorDefaultSolid}\" TintOpacity=\"0\" TintLuminosityOpacity=\".85\" Opacity=\"1\"/>",
TintLuminosityOpacity controls the brightness of the tint. You can adjust this between 0
(no luminosity) and 1
(full luminosity).
Taskbar Background: Color
To change the background color find the line “controlStyles[1].styles[5]
” and change its background value
"controlStyles[1].styles[5]": "Background:=pink",
Or
"controlStyles[1].styles[5]": "Background:=#ff1493",
