Windows – Turn off transparency for Windows 7 taskbar only

taskbartransparencywindows 7

I don't like the semi-transparent nature of the Windows 7 taskbar. When a white window slides down there it makes the icons and, more importantly, the Workrave (http://www.workrave.org/) toolbar, hard to see.

Is there a way to disable transparency ONLY for the taskbar (I like it everywhere else).

Best Answer

Unfortunately as far as I know, it is only possible to do it for everything through Control Panel > Personalization > Window Color

I would be interested to see if anyone has a solution/reg hack or similar for just the taskbar though as I have the same problem as you sometimes when I drag a window under it (Explorer Windows).
