Can anyone explain how to calculate the highlight color based on dominant color in images like Windows-7 taskbar when mouse is over the taskbar item? Any c# code?

Change the Taskbar Settings However, you can easily customize your taskbar and remove search highlights. Right-click anywhere on the empty space on your taskbar and extend the Search menu. Then, uncheck Show search highlights. That's it.
Using Control Panel in Windows 7, 8, and 10On the Control Panel window, click “Ease of Access”. Then, under Ease of Access Center, click the “Change how your mouse works” link. Select an option for the size and color you want for the mouse pointer in the “Change the color and size of mouse pointers” box.
I believe what it does is take the most prominent color in the application's icon using a method similar to this: Python - Find dominant/most common color in an image
With that information, it then applies a translucent radial gradient hue and positions it based on your mouse location. The gradient is more white toward the center of your mouse, but the center is actually off screen. The closer to the actual taskbar item, the more transparent it becomes.
