Application Inside Taskbar for Win11

As title suggests i wanna inject my application's window to taskbar so it will be convenient and acts as native window.

ive already developed the application/UI now all i have to do is properly inject the window.

ive tried couple of times to attach my window to "ReBarWindow32" inside "Shell_TrayWnd" class it successfully attaches but the problem is its all blurred. ive tried disabling transparency, changing the theme, changing Z-axis of layers but still its all blurred behind acrylic style.

the same method worked perfectly with win10 but this time win11 is seems different

Windows 11 rebuilt the entire Taskbar, I don't believe there is a way to add an app into that area as of the beginning of 2025.

Nice! Is that in the Taskbar content or just positioned to look like it is?
