Vista Taskbar Sidebar Issue.

Neil?

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 by vStyler | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Ok, I've had several people complaining and bringing this to my attention... there is a solid grey area on right side of taskbar on ANY skin with a short taskbar that uses transparency on side of taskbar....while a Sidebar is applied\used.

Not sure if your aware of it but... here it is. Hopefully we can have this remedied in next update.

Cheers.

Thats not a bug.

The grey area looks like it matches your wallpaper which makes sense as the sidebar stops above the taskbar so the gradient you used for the sidebar background will also stop.

Hmm.. i see what ur saying... the sidebar ends.. therefore is not providing either lightness or darkness over the wall depending on the lightness or darkness of sidebar skin... well, I can see why folks thought it was a bug.. looks dodgy..Even fooled me. perhaps if the sidebar went to bottom of screen? Probably not possble eh?

I don't use the sidebar myself but I promised I'd investigate.. thanks.
