So, no subpixel smoothing? If you have ClearType enabled it will do subpixel rendering ofcourse I thought Winforms cannot do it. |

Out of the box .NET uses an additional layer of anti-aliasing, but I disabled that in SCT Taskbar

Open-Shell seems to hide it's start button when the taskbar is hidden. I'm adding an option for custom start buttons because I don't think it should be using parts of any other software. The show/hide desktop thing isn't part of the Quick Launch, it's an item inside of it! You can just remove that icon. The one in the system tray is one I'm actually working on creating. The wifi icon tries to open the metro wifi menu, which you said doesn't work for you anymore. As you know, I'm working on creating a full classic wifi menu but that's long due to actually working. What do you mean with "new desktop"? Will there be an option to disable the tray show desktop button? |

Is Classic Shell interoperability planned? I mean, people put the CS button on the Reactos taskbar, why not here? At least there can be a button that emulated a shortcut to show the menu.

been using it for the last few days as permanent taskbar, good job, its incredible and easy to set! I appreciate the fact it still works after multiple explorer.exe crashes (common with my 98 setup to load the context menu). I've noticed both the internet and sound tray icons open the internet settings page, and sometimes, the battery tray does it too, so hope you manage to fix it.
Btw, consider adding scaling support at some point. My monitor's ppi settings are at 125% scaling, otherwise things are tiny, but still, I've got no problem with the current blur.

If you hover over your battery icon, what does it say?
I use RegEx on the tooltip to determine which of the 3 icons it is. V(battery, sound, wifi)

Scaling just breaks the program. This is because the managed (c#) part of my program reports in pixels after scaling and the CLI (c++) part of the program reports in physical pixels. I need to find a way so that both of them use the same pixel source, and then add manual scaling. Considering the fact I've never implemented manual scaling it might take a little long

Because the ReactOS taskbar is designed to be the exact same as the windows one. My taskbar is designed to look like the windows one. As I've said, currently the button on my taskbar supports Win10, Open-Shell and SIB. A way to replace the button is in the working though! |

I don't think it should be using parts of any other software. Actually openshell under startisback is fast your startbutton on top of openshell slows it down , need to have an option to remove your startbutton completely so that openshell can run at full speed . But thats just my opinion. |

This is really cool, but it seems to have a little lag on my machine, and the system tray doesn't really show anything but volume. Also, I am not entirely sure how to exit this application. I do like it a lot, though. Is there any way to implement an auto-hide feature for when I have something maximised? Also when I have OpenShell running, it works fine but for the Replace Start Button feature. Is there any way to correct this? I like the old start button, but I have to use a slightly different version because the pixels of the S in Start don't display properly due to upscaling.
I like your quick launch way better than the quick launch provided by modifying the Win10 registry and I would really like to continue using it. I am using it in conjunction with SemoB's WinClassic theme.

I like your quick launch way better than the quick launch provided by modifying the Win10 registry and I would really like to continue using it. I am using it in conjunction with SemoB's WinClassic theme. The lag is because of the way it works. Instead of modifying the taskbar like other tools, SCTT hides it and creates an entirely new one. To have a correct taskbar it needs to communicate to the real one via Window Messages. This takes time, though not a lot. It mostly depends on how many windows you have opened at that time. Have you tried right clicking the taskbar?  Auto hiding is definitely planned, it already does this for fullscreen and an option for maximized windows is in mind. The program should completely neglect any form of upscaling. The shitty font you’re getting is ClearType. I do want to address the issue with Open-Shell compatibility: it’s hard. Why? Because Open-Shell is so damn advanced. Btw: disable ClearType. The quick-launch is so good because I spent 10 minutes on it compared to Microsoft’s mere 5 minutes! |

Wierd, I already have ClearType turned off. I think I might have legacy applications mildly scaled up though. Is there a way to create a registry edit that would enable the use of this taskbar alone instead of running both?

It needs the taskbar. Without it it wouldn't have the sys tray.

This is a good program, but there are bugs. - If you have the legacy volume flyout enabled, it opens the WIFI flyout for whatever reason - If you enable the legacy clock flyout using startisback, clock refuses to open - If you click on the battery icon, the standard taskbar will appear for a few seconds - Bluetooth icon all black for some reason? Same thing with the power saver icon. - If you click on the start button multiple times, it continuously opens the Classic Shell start menu (The menu just disappears and then the start menu pops out again, though that may be StartIsBack conflicting with Classic Shell [even 4.3.0])
Some features that you may want to add: - Start button depressed state (Though again, that may be StartIsBack conflicting with Classic Shell)
- T-Clock support if it isn't added already (Opening the classic calendar and clock or something similar)
- Scaling, but it may be hard because I saw your other post on scaling. I use 250% scaling with Classic Theme and the blur sort of bothers me.
- The "Right click on titlebar" Menu on programs
- Tooltip of the program that you are hovering over
- Maybe superbar features, such as grouping and enlarging the taskbar, as well as "Show desktop" button, maybe jump lists?
And that's all I need to make it my main taskbar (except the superbar features or T-Clock support, I'm fine without those and I don't even use T-Clock).
Edit: Nevermind about the conflicts, I found out that this taskbar supports Open-Shell, not Classic Shell.
