I'm not sure I understand the request. You can use "Combine taskbar buttons" = "Never" in taskbar properties to always show labels. How is your request different? What are you referring to with "custom windows styles" and "second background image"?

If you mean that "Combine taskbar buttons" = "Never" shows different icons that "Always, hide labels", you're right, and currently 7+ Taskbar Tweaker doesn't provide a way to change that.

Because this request is very old and a bit unclear, I'm closing it, but if it's still relevant feel free to leave a comment and clarify what you meant.

Hi Magnesia,

This kind of automation is out of scope for the tweaker, sorry. There surely are better tools for the job. If you find a tool to run any program/command on a "Cubase is on foreground" or "Cubase is not on foreground" event, let me know and I'll provide you with a command to change the taskbar mode to auto-hide and back.

7+ Taskbar Tweaker, of course.

Support for Windows 10 October 2018 Update was added in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker v5.6.

Should be fixed in 7+ Taskbar Tweaker v5.6.

It's possible for some extent, see the following answer:
