Task Bar buttons help.

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi all,

Working on a new skin myself finally. For the taskbar buttons I have noticed there is a strange outer glow around buttons I hover over. For the life of me I can not find where these images or colors are found. I already changed the actual taskbar button image myself. 

As you can see there is a red'ish glow around the icon with a V. On some of the other icons it changes color. Any help is greatly appreciated.

task bar button mask. they need to be the same size as your taskbar buttons (although there is some creativity allowed) and the amount of transparency dictates the amount of the "glow".

Hmm. Interesting. I did manage to find that earlier but I just made it fully transparent. I might have to look at some other skins to understand it better hehe. 

 

Thanks for the reply!

Sorry, need to clarify. The amount of transparency to the "taskbar buttons" governs the amount of glow. The mask is usually fully transparent.

Yeah. I really just don't want that glow at all. I think if I just set it to remove it from my skin it should go away based on the other themes I have looked at.
