AcrylicBrush does not work for docklike

[berkesalar]

I try to apply the Acrylic effect to the taskbar background, but whatever I try it does not work

[berkesalar]

I really dislike the guide here, it doesnt give a target or examples of a target. Really frustrating to use

[SandTechStuff]

DockLike uses different targets from my testing, try this:

Target: Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid#RootGrid

Styles: Background:=<AcrylicBrush TintColor="Black" TintOpacity="0"/>

@m417z Since this question has come up twice now (#127), maybe something should be added to the README to prevent further confusion?

[m417z]

I don't understand, all this information is readily accessible in the guide, including targets, how to find them, colors, taskbar background, and setting acrylic.
[...]

[...]

From what I understand, the main confusion here is that for the default taskbar and for most themes, Rectangle#BackgroundFill is the target for customizing the taskbar background, but that doesn't work for DockLike which hides this element.

I added a note in the relevant section in the readme:

I should've been more clear in my problem description.

I have gone over all the targets listed below, found with UWspy as per the guide, trying to apply specifically the acrylic brush :

->Taskbar.TaskbarFrame
->Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid
->Taskbar.TaskbarBackground#BackgroundControl
->Windows.UI.Xaml.Shapes.Rectangle
->Windows.UI.Xaml.Shapes.Rectangle#BackgroundFill
->Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid#RootGrid

The issue I'm encountering is that either the taskbar is completely black, or its completely translucent. Which oddly only occurs when applying the acrylicbrush as either:

-> Background:=<AcrylicBrush TintColor="Black" TintOpacity="0.5"/>
-> Fill:=<AcrylicBrush TintColor="Black" TintOpacity="0.5"/>

I could perhaps think of 4 issues:
-> Interference from some other program such as Wallpaper Engine (I have tried to disable this to no avail)
-> My installed version of windows is unsupported (23H2, perhaps unlikely?) (Sidenote: I would like to try this on Windows 11 24H2 but that version has networking issues yet to be addressed by Microsoft.)
-> I'm missing some sort of dependency to call this instruction
-> Issues with the Operating System proper being unable to call this command, though I have tried translucent taskbar in the past. (Some other customization tool which I think also calls upon the acrylic brush)

Thanks for the prompt replies

@berkesalar are you perhaps using multiple monitors? There's a known limitation with multiple taskbars, I added a note in the relevant section in the readme for that too:

@m417z I am indeed utilizing multiple monitors, I shall try this when I have time and will update accordingly. Again thanks for the quick response!
