[Feature request]: Add option to dim taskbar (incl. icons) for OLED monitor owners to prevent burn-in

[Void48]

Describe your feature request.
Hey. :) I know this might be out of scope for this project but given that it's a taskbar customization tool, I’d like to suggest adding an option to permanently dim the taskbar, allowing it to undim only in true fullscreen mode (e.g., when watching a movie or playing a game in fullscreen). I would greatly appreciate this, and I’m sure many others who use an OLED monitor would feel the same!

i dont see why not i will add it in the final release of 3.0

would you want to dim it as in lowering the brightness or just setting a lower opacity?

What's the difference? Wouldn't lowering the opacity be the same as reducing the brightness if it's localized to only the taskbar area?

[ad2017gd]

Well you can already reduce the opacity of the taskbar

Is this in the beta release? I'm not seeing the option.

just tested it and the web function doesn't even work 👍
to make sure though this is what you were asking for right?

Omg yes! It's actually quite good already. If it can be more easily enabled (not having to dig through buttons/menus), then it would be really good! Also, I would appreciate it if you could hide the 1px taskbar line too when the dim option is enabled, or have a separate option to disable it.

Sorry to bother you, but have you considered adding an easily accessible UI and making a new release of RainbowTaskbar? Possibly also pushing that to the Microsoft Store if there are no bugs. I would like to share your project on the r/OLED_Gaming subreddit so more people who like to keep their taskbar up can use it to lessen the risk of burn-in. Thanks!

[ad2017gd]

well i guess i could add a global setting that overrides the selected config's settings 👍
ill push the update on ms store when i get to fixing all other bugs
