I would like to remove the glow from the "Superbar" running programs.

I like having a dark taskbar however the glow on the buttons makes it hard to read, especially for the open window. I am looking for a way to remove this, however I would like to keep the rest of the Aero features intact.

I have highlighted the effect on one of the buttons for clarity.

Edit: Referenced this thread; https://www.w7forums.com/remove-glow-taskbar-t9223.html Unfortunately that solution did not work for me and I still have the glow.

HERE is a thread where it was done. Seems like a lot of work but there's how.
