Simple Question, which may or may-not have a simple answer. 

I'm one of those folks who have a vertical Taskbar. I tend to have many collections of topics open as I work, and those topics are grouped. With the Win 10 concept of the taskbar buttons being "transparent" the groups are no longer easily apparent. If it would be at all possible to add a "texture" or "shade" to the buttons so they could resemble the Win7 behavior, this would be Wonderful!

The setup I use is OpenShell for start menu customization, and am now using the taskbar "shading" behavior built-in to that. So, able to give the Taskbar background some "depth". Using AeroGlass to skin the window frames, and using 7+TT for the rest! It's worked out well for years in Win7, but now moving over to Win10 the "invisible" Taskbar buttons is the last "sticky point". 

If this is not possible, would it be possible to provide an explanation? Not trying to be rude by asking, but genuinely am trying to understand the limitations. Spent a bunch of time understanding how AeroGlass did some things, and even looked through the source code for OpenShell, but found that I really didn't understand enough about the Windows DWM inner workings to try to hack this into that myself. 

Much Gratitude!

On windows 10 when taskbar items are in an order desktop 1 and I go to desktop 2 and back the order has been scrambled. Is this something your software can address?

Would it be possible to have the taskbar buttons centered in the taskbar rather than left justified.  Especially nice if one chooses to not show the 'Start' button.

I have so many useful icons on my taskbar that I must first move the mouse cursor over the single-row-setup at screen bottom, then rotate the scroll wheel to view the row of icons I need to access.  It would be much faster if a user-definable hotkey could be used to cycle through multiple rows of taskbar buttons.

Unitl recently, I was using Taskbar Tweaker version 5.5 with windows 7. In "Advanced Options" I had set tray_clock_fix_width to the value "1". This had the effect of removing the day of the week from the taskbar clock.

I am now using version 5.8 with Windows 10, and setting tray_clock_fix_width=1 has no effect.

Under "Hovering" there is the option "Nothing" which does the beautiful thing I've long been searching for of disabling Taskbar Tooltips. The problem is that now the preview windows of taskbar icons aren't show (I can no longer preview an opened application by just hovering over it on the taskbar). Is there any way to keep the functionality of preview windows but keep the tooltips disabled?

Since a Win10 update recently, tray_icons_padding in the advanced options seems to have no effect. Is this just me?

I'm still running an old app Tclock2:

7+ Taskbar Tweaker has some minor conflict with Tclock2.

When (after) the conflict occurs, 7TT will fail to maintain the "Open with double click (on Pinned items)" feature. And Windows Explorer will crash when 7TT exits. Nothing else so far as I see.

I wonder if the conflict can be resolved on your side.

Thank you.

Windows 10 has a bug, when a folder opened to a network location and that location become unavailable (i.e. after computer woke up from sleep) it shows an annoying popup on the background. If popup left opened, next time computer wakes up it opens another popup for the same location. Than, if "Restore previous folder windows at logon" is enabled in folder options, after computer restart for each of these popups it will open a window to the same location.

It would be awesome have an option to simply close any duplicate explorer windows.

This option would probably be most useful with combined windows.
