Taskbar Not Automatically Applying Aero Style with Override AccentBlur Effect After Boot

Open 2009Windows7 opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug

After enabling the Override AccentBlur Effect option in DWMBlurGlass, the taskbar does not automatically apply the Aero blur effect upon boot. Instead, it remains plain or only partially transparent. The Aero effect works correctly only after manually toggling the Override AccentBlur Effect option off and then on again in the DWMBlurGlass settings.

Even though the option is enabled during boot, it seems like the taskbar is not responding to the setting until it’s toggled again. This happens consistently after every reboot.

Description ....

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Ensure DWMBlurGlass is installed and configured correctly, with Override AccentBlur Effect enabled.

  2. Boot the system and observe that the taskbar does not apply the Aero blur effect.

  3. Go to DWMBlurGlass settings and toggle the Override AccentBlur Effect option off and on.

  4. The Aero effect should now be applied to the taskbar.

Facing the exact same issue, though I hadn't diagnosed it nearly as proper as you have haha
