you can actually go to the microsoft store and search TranslucentTB which lets you make the taskbar completely transparent with a few changes. as for the start menu i dont know any software that makes it transparent
Add color to, or make Context Menu transparent in Windows 10
Reviews: Change the right-click menu transparency and assign colors to highlights for menu entries and to text selections in applications. (Softpedia) (5-Star Rating - Thank You!)
I added a icon at the system context menu(the popped up menu when we right mouse click on any file/foler). But the icon is not transparent(in xp its not notice able, but in vista/win7 it is clearly visible) there is a white background beneath the icon. But WinRAR or TortoiseSVN icons don't have any white background, they are transparent.
In Linux, I use a semi-transparent terminal app. It does not add any functionality as such to the terminal, but gives a fancy appearance to my console. With Windows 10, Microsoft added the same ability to the good old command processor, cmd.exe. If you are interested in making your command prompt transparent, here is how it can be done. In Windows 10, the command prompt was significantly updated. It has a LOT of new features which make it really useful. These include an extended set of hotkeys such as:
PS: Windows 10 Start Menu also allows you to resize (small, medium, wide, large) or uninstall Metro (Modern) app tiles just like Start Screen. You can get these options in tile context menu (right-click menu). You can also turn live tiles off or pin any tile to Taskbar using tile context menu.
I decided to use windows 10 OS in my organization, but the problem is Windows Start Menu. Is it possible to modify default start menu with tiles for all computer local and domain users? I dont want to see news, finances, xbox etc tiles in start menu each time when new user will login to PC. I want to create the same start menu myself for every new user. Is it possible? Thanks
Hello gents & ladies,could anyone help me with windows 10 is fast in my programs but the start menu,apps, when clicked come without labels on them. clicking on the start menu you see coloured tiles only no labels /text on them.Help is needed fair well
Hey VG, great site. I am looking to restrict the startmenu in Win10 as much as possible. Is there a section in the registry that changes the startmenu like in windows 7 (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current\Explorer\Advanced)?
Comfortably creates a screenshot of a web page currently opened in Internet Explorer.Use Greenshot's context menu to select the Internet Explorer tab to capture, or hitCrtl + Shift + Print to capture the active tab.
You can simply add graphics or images to your screenshot by dragging and dropping an imagefile into the editor window. You can also insert screenshots of other windows by selectingInsert window from the Edit menu. A list of all open windows appears,allowing you to select one for insertion. Insert an image from the clipboard by Ctrl + v works as well.
By default, Windows 10 comes with an opaque taskbar. The user can enable transparency for the taskbar, and even increase the transparency level with a Registry tweak. Many users would like to make the taskbar totally transparent and retain the blur effect. In this article, we will see how it can be done.
You can disable it using the right-click menu of TranslucentTB. Select the 'clear' option to make the taskbar totally transparent in Windows 10. You will get the following appearance:
Finally, an interesting option is "Dynamic Windows". It combines the two options mentioned above. When no maximized windows open on the Desktop, the taskbar appears totally transparent. When you maximize a window, the taskbar looks like frosted glass.
The application is open-source and free of charge. It supports a number of command line options exposed here: command line options. The options significantly extend the app functionality. For example, you can colorize the taskbar with a custom color. A special option, "--tint COLOR", specifies the color applied to the taskbar. COLOR is 32 bit number in hex format, see explanation below. The color parameter is interpreted as a three or four byte long number in hexadecimal format that describes the four color channels 0xAARRGGBB ([alpha,] red, green and blue). These look like this: 0x80fe10a4 (the '0x' is optional). You often find colors in this format in the context of HTML and web design, and there are many online tools to convert from familiar names to this format.
Currently, there are two different ways to achieve a transparent taskbar. The latest Windows versions allow you to access this as a system setting, but for better clarity, you may want to try an external software called TranslucentTB. Some of these methods will be repeated to achieve transparency in other Windows menu items, such as Start menu, Title bar, and lockscreen.
Then there is an optional channel called Alpha. This channel displays transparency values of each pixel in your image (See Alpha Channel in Glossary). In front of this channel is a thumbnail displaying a grayscale representation of the transparency where white is opaque and visible, and black is transparent and invisible. If you create your image without transparency then the Alpha channel is not present, but you can add it from the Layers dialog menu. Also, if you have more than one layer in your image, GIMP automatically creates an Alpha channel.
The channels at the top are the color channels and the optional Alpha channel. They are always organized in the same order and they cannot be removed. In the middle are two lock buttons, that show the lock status for the currently selected channel in the bottom area. The bottom area shows a list of selection masks. Every channel appears in the list with its attributes, including a thumbnail and its name. A right-click in a channel list entry opens the channel context menu.
You can get the channel context menu by right clicking on a channel. Several of the operations on channels are also available through buttons at the bottom of the channels list. Those operations are documented there.
Only available for selection masks. This allows you to assign a color tag to a channel. If you have a lot of channels this can make it easier to identify them by giving related channels the same color tag. To remove the color tag choose None.
Once the channel is initialized, selected (highlighted in blue), visible (eye-icon in the dialog), and displayed as you want (color and opacity attributes), you can start to work with all the paint tools. The colors used are important. If you paint with some color other than white, gray, or black, the color Value (luminosity) will be used to define a gray (medium, light, or dark). When your mask is painted, you can transform it to a selection by clicking on the button (Channel to Selection) or from the context menu.
After the QuickMask Button is pressed, the command generates a temporary 8-bit (0-255) channel, on which the progressive selection work is stored. If a selection is already present the mask is initialized with the content of the selection. Once QuickMask has been activated, the image is covered by a red semi-transparent veil. This one represents the non-selected pixels. Any paint tool can be used to create the selection on the QuickMask. They should use only grayscale color, conforming the channel properties, white enabling to define the future selected place. The selection will be displayed as soon as the QuickMask will be toggled but its temporary channel will not be available anymore.
An image in PSD format can contain multiple layers, but the bottom layer must be opaque. You cannot apply color to a PSD image with a transparent background in InDesign. In addition, the grayscale image cannot contain alpha or spot channels.
Problems with high-DPI scalingIf you are using a notebook or ultrabook or tablet or "2-in-1" or "hybrid" computer with very high resolutionrelative to the rather small screen (i.e. a "high-DPI" screen or device, or what Applewould call "Retina display"), this may cause trouble in Diamond.Examples are the Microsoft Surface 2 Pro (1920 x 1080 px at 10.6 inch screen diagonal) or the Lenovo Yoga 2 Prowith 3200 x 1800 px at 13.3 inch screen diagonal) - or later devices of the mentioned series. Usually the default setting in Windows 8.1 or Windows 10is to scale the desktop to 150 (Surface Pro) or 200 percent (Yoga 2 Pro). Since Diamond 4.x isnot aware of this high DPI resolution, it automatically scales all graphics (toolbar icons, caption bars,closing icons, etc.) to 150 or 200 percent, rsp., of the native resolution. So the icons in thetoolbar etc. become recognizable. This requires the following two settings in Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 to be correct:(1) On the Windows "Display" page of the "Control Panel" (navigation bar reads: "Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display") look at "Change the size of all items": There is a ruler "Smaller --- Larger" and a percentage scaling available, if you click on the "Let me choose one scaling level for all displays". This should be set to "Larger" (or 150 or 200 percent, rsp.) (2) Since this scaling concerns all desktop applications that are not "high-DPI aware", you can force individual applications to run in native resolution yet. So open the context menu on "Diamond.exe" (in Windows Explorer), choose "Settings...", change to "Compatibility" page and check, if the checkmark at "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" is UNCHECKED. More infos: There are several articles available about this high DPI issue, so make a (Google) search for "Scale desktop resolution Windows 8" or "... 10", rsp.
Transparent color in bitmap exportDiamond does not directly support a transparent color when exportinga structure picture graphics into a bitmap file. The option "Transparent" onthe "Background" page of the "Picture/Layout" is used to change theactually defined background color a little bit for the case that at least onepixel of the atoms or other objects use the same RGB values as the background.(The RGB values of the background color written to the bitmap file is listed inthe status bar.)To continue with the "transparent" bitmap in e.g. Microsoft PowerPoint you cando either:1) Once inserted and placed in PowerPoint select the "Set Transparent Color"tool in the Picture Palette (toolbar) and select the color (click into thebitmap) you want made transparent. Note: this will make transparent all areasin your image having the color you select.2) Before inserting the bitmap into PowerPoint post-process the bitmap in agraphics processing program, define the pixels with rgb(background) as beingtransparent, then save in a file format that directly supports transparency(PNG, GIF), then insert that really transparent bitmap into PowerPoint. 2ff7e9595c
