I separated the text from regular HIGH DPI. Had a problem with the user picture showing up when it's not supposed to.

Added option for half user picture glare, or none. Don't know the formula to reverse it, so I brightened rgb to the max, then brightened alpha channel appropriately. I guess I know what premultiplied images are now. Even looked at the original button in Msstyles. (low bit color makes horizontal step lines, similar to most so-called HD TVs, which are low bit as well). With dither noise to hide most of the brightness steps. The file got kind of big, because the default setting uses a larger menu/mask bitmap, For myself, I have Override color option, turned off. No home runs, but will be in the ballpark. So as always, made the compromise to have everything halfway. Not so much the Luminance and Chrominance ratio of MS signal. In my eyes, the 'Menu color blending' tends to adjust the brightness of the menu bitmap itself, Using the 'Override glass color' option in CSM, can help on a case by case basis, for matching. Then the menu is too bright on other themes. I can make bitmaps look exactly like say, the default 'Windows 7' background logo picture, The other half doesn't have the right brightness/color ratio. Half of wallpaper MS themes work quite well. I could not achieve a 100% match in all cases. Toyed with brightness, opacity transparency, and color amount.

Using skin on Windows 7 operating system.Ĭould only get so far, where the color/brightness matches up with the taskbar. Using modified Win7 screenshots and CSM aero skin mods,Ĭhanged it to look closer to the original Win 7 menu, on Win 7 operating system.Ĭan be used on Windows 10, just won't look the same,īecause of the different characteristics of different type of blur,
