Shadow Behind Bar

Jace edited this page Nov 10, 2026 · 1 revision

Adds a shadow behind the command bar, like Arc's, so it stands out when Blur Page Behind and Darken Page Behind are off.

Why use it

Without blur or darkening, the command bar can blend into a busy page. The shadow lifts it off the page and keeps the page itself untouched. Turn it off if you want a flat bar.

Turn it off

It's on by default. Open Dia → Settings → Patches → Open New Tabs in Command Bar and, under Shadow, switch off Shadow Behind Bar. Or run:

diatweaks disable commandBarShadow

Needs

Command bar. Settings greys out this switch until that's on, and diatweaks enable commandBarShadow offers to turn it on too.

Works with

Blur Page Behind and Darken Page Behind. The shadow shows with them too, but it matters most when both are off.
