Taskbar Group Menu

So I am using Windows 7 and have icons always being combined. I am assuming this is the Taskbar group menu | Background and Menu Items part of Skin Studio under Taskbar editing.

The example control in use doesn't match what I see. When I look at the grouped windows on my machine its some tiles / previews of the windows under the group rather than the list. I changed the image to a red solid color so I could see it but I am not seeing any change.

How do I get the grouped list like in Skin Studio?

EDIT: Looks like I could at least get that to show up by setting displayfusions extra taskbars to use that grouping type. So at least I can still test it.

What you see when looking in SKS can't be done for Win 7. I did not make skins for win xp but maybe it worked there. All you can change on 7 is the color at the bottom and the border color using an image. Use an image say 129x136 pixels any color. Add a 1 pixel border color and it will show the border color.

For win 10 you can change the entire color in SKS but not by using an image. Again the same win 7 image will change the border.

It's interesting. Displayfusion has the list group rather than the image previews.

NOTE: For win 10 you can change the entire color in SKS but not by using an image or changing a color.

Using an image: Open your WB in SKS. Edit titlebars and windowFrames/ Edit UIS frames. If there is an image in there it will control the color. Change it to what you want.

If you have a skin that doesn't have an image. Change skin colors. At the top drop down menu. Show me the skin defined colors. Look for "ButtonDKShadow" Change that color and click apply. Note: I haven't found anywhere else where this change is visible. Again. If you would rather just use a color go to the image location and just delete the code.
