Taskbar Windows 11 without the start button
Long story short the reason the show desktop button doesnt have any aero effects is that I was trying to recreate the windows 8.1 taskbar and start button with the help of AI and basically due to some AI hallucination a masking error in the code (the masking was supposed to replicate how the colour of the start button logo changes when hovered to the accent colour) caused the start button to not appear
I used windhawk and the tweak Windows 11 Taskbar Styler

Trying to recreate the Windows 8.1 taskbar but you used the Windows 7 highlight/select assets?
