Windows 7 Taskbar / Toolbar - Colour Blending Issues
Good Afternoon Everyone,
Another newbie to the forum (also a newbie to Windows 7) - I'm having some issues with my task bar / toolbar set up..
I've recently purchased myself a Samsung I7 Chronos laptop after having some bashed up Asus for the past 5 years and it has come with Windows 7 Home Premium. I had a heavily customized Windows XP but I really like the look of some of the Windows 7 Themes.
So after installing all my favorite software I began customizing the theme.
I downloaded a Black Theme by Morpheus from Deviant Art, a copy of Rainmeter with some additional skins and a token logo pack for the pinned taskbar.
It seems though that during the transition from shop spec to customizing it I've encountered a problem with the task bar:
- System Tray / Notification Area is Black (end of gradient aero theme)
- The pinned applications bar is brighter than the gradient behind it.
- CTI (left) indicates the start of a toolbar. As you can see blending is perfect up until pinned applications toolbar.
I've attached a picture below for your reference (hope it's clear enough):

Does anyone know how can I make the blending consistent across the taskbar without the use of third party software further customizing W7?
Thanks for your time
Jack
