Hi, is there a way to have the taskbar from Blade theme like in the pics from the theme thread, when it's in uncombined state (I mean, when icons are not combinied, in this mode the taskbar is only black)? I'm talking about the blue stripe. Would be nice to get an answer because I try to change it in WSB 1.5 but found no way.

Thanks

If you tell me the width of your screen, I'll try something out, but I'm not sure whether it will work.

It's actually very easy to change in WSB,just modify the taskbar image to include the taskband image and adjust the sizing margins.
here's a rough test example

XXXxxxXXX: My screen is 1650x1080.

gsw953: I've tried like you said, the result isn't the same. The blue stripe is now the whole Taskbar. But it's better than before.

Thanks for your help.

Hi mkpcxxl :)

unfortunatly if you use the never combine option for the taskbar icons you will have to redo the whole taskbar in wsb this image Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBar > Aero > TaskBar > BackgroundBottom and this image Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBar > Aero > TaskBar > BackgroundTop as with the icons being uncombined this image here Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Aero > TaskBand > BackgroundTop and this iamge here Taskbar & System Tray > TaskBand > Aero > TaskBand > BackgroundBottom are not longer viable in the taskbar meaning they are not used at all and those are the images where you have the blue stripe in the middle.

So the only way you can achieve it is to redo the other 2 images to larger ones and reset all the properties to get the look you are wanting :)

OK, I tried something out. Just replace the Blade.msstyles-file in the Bladefolder and apply the theme. I hope it's better now.
