Just a heads up... Thank to those who posted about the 3 dots issue in explorer, adjusting the scaling also fixed TranlucentTB for me. I'm posting this as it might help others who have noticed the same issue.
Firstly, my screen resolution is 3840 x 2160 and by default, Windows sets the scaling at 150% (Recommended).
I like to run the slideshow for my background on the desktop and have TransulcentTB (TB) set to Acrylic. However, I have been battling for some time to stop TB from flicking the Acrylic taskbar instead of fading gently to the next wallpaper. Let me show you what I mean. I've recorded how TB looks with the default 150% scaling and uploaded it to Youtube.
Now compare that video with this one which fades correctly.
Thanks to the guys and gals who said that the 3 dots issue in explorer is fixed by using different scaling, I set a custom scale of 145% which isn't a million miles from the 150% recommended. And TB works as it once did. So I conclude, MS did something with the scaling which messed these things up.
I have chosen a larger mouse arrow and raised the text size a fraction in Accessibility to compensate for the 5% difference. And the 3 dot issue is fixed too!
PS... I don't normally run the slideshow at 10 second intervals, that was just for demonstration purposes.
