TranslucentTB 5.0: Make Windows 11 Taskbar Transparent or Blurred

April 29, 2022 by Peter Leave a Comment

TranslucentTB is also included in the UWP Community Launch 2021 package. A small tool with which you can make the taskbar completely transparent (transparent) or slightly blurred (acrylic). Now the app has been completely revised again.

The TranslucentTB app is given a more modern look. The icon and the context menu also support the light and dark theme under Windows 10 and Windows 11. A welcome UI is started when you start it for the first time. There is a link to edit the config file, which is now saved as a JSON file.

Make Windows 11 Taskbar Transparent

Here’s a list of the significant changes on TranslucentTB 5.0

  • Rewrite the entire UI in UWP XAML (hosted via XAML Islands), giving the TranslucentTB UI a much more modern look.
    • On Windows 11, the context menu is also a UWP XAML flyout.
    • New welcome UI, giving the user links to our Liberaypay page and Discord server.
    • Unfortunately results in increased memory usage.
    • Acrylic!
    • Consequently, the minimum version is built 18362 (AKA 1903).
  • New Fluent icon.
  • The dark theme context menu is also available.
  • Changed config file format to a standard JSON file.
  • Light theme support: the TranslucentTB tray icon turns black when the Windows light theme is enabled.
  • Changes to the config file are now automatically reloaded when the file is changed on disk.
  • Instead of constantly looping, TranslucentTB is now lazy, and DLL injects into Explorer.
    • Flickering when the start opens is wholly gone.
  • New defaults which address common user complaints.
  • Increase reliability of hotplug detection. This should fix most cases of secondary monitors not being detected.
  • The Peek button can now still be used even when not visible.
