All I want is to make the taskbar transparent, that's it. It really shouldn't be that hard, yet I haven't found a single way to do it.
All I've found are registry edits that make it a tiny bit more translucent, or third-party programs like ClassicShell that force you to have terrible-looking XP/Vista/7-styled start menus or explorer windows and just offer a transparent taskbar as a side option.
I used to have a theme that made the taksbar transparent after using UxThemePatcher (I think that's what it was called?) but that ended up crashing my computer after a Windows update and forcing me to reinstall the OS. So I'm NOT looking for any kind of hack like that.
If a program like ClassicShell that doesn't heavily modify/replace any system files or even require a reboot can so simply change the transparency of the taskbar, why can't I find anything out there that does just that?
