Docklike color reverts from translucent acryllic to solid tint color until explorer or windhawk restart

[gubsy420]

I have been having a consistent issue while using the docklike theme where the acryllic effect on the taskbar will seemingly randomly revert to a solid color; seemingly whatever solid color I have set as the tint color. The only other customization app I have installed is wallpaper engine, and the only other windhawk mod I have installed is "Taskbar Heigh and Icon Size". Below are my theme settings for reference.

Note: I am aware that the border color target has been removed; I did that on purpose trying to troubleshoot what may be causing this behavior but it continues to happen. Also, this issue happens even when just using a single monitor.

you had a couple small errors in your style code, mainly your taskbarframe's RootGrid didn't have the background property try this and let me know if it fixes it for you!

Same issue happens even when using this code verbatim.

So, I do not think this is the only trigger but I can reliably get this phenomenon to happen when waking up my monitors after they are turned off via the windows power settings timer
