Hello all,
Today I will show you how to use a taskbar that has transparent part. If you already know this trick, this tut wont help you much. As you can in see the image below, this taskbar has transparent parts. These parts are covered with a dark grey layer, this layer is the windows aero color you selected at the moment(the one in personalize).

The trick is actually that you need to change the color of it so it can blur with the wallpaper. By doing this it will appear fully transparent. In personalize you can adjust the color by changing Hue, Saturation and Brightness. Most of the themes we create have a standard grey windows aero layer, you may adjust it yourself to fit with your wallpaper. (The trick is with the wall and that aero layer, e.g if your wall is white on the taskbar part, you need to change the color to white. If its green, change the layer to green. Like that)
Like this one to fit with my current wallpaper:

The result, fully transparent. You can bearly see the aero layer:

That’s it, hope you’ve learned something out of this tutorial.
SO LONG FOLKS :smile:
