How to DISABLE the transparency of the taskbar in Windows 8?

I am running a Windows 8 system on my computer. I found that I could not disable the transparency of the taskbar.

I want to make it look better with the style of the entire system without transparency.

I searched a lot on the internet and tried to create a new theme named Areo Lite, but impossible.

Is there another way to achieve the goal?

As far as I know, there is no native way to do this within Windows 8.
However, if you install the debut8 $4.99
(http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/) she can do.

Debut8 has other good features; as far as I'm concerned, the most
precious is bring back the ORB start and its menu.

    How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6

    Welcome to the forum, Sally.

    There are several ways to do this - method you choose may depend on what you need to accomplish.

    Follow a few ideas.

    • A double tap farm in the upper left corner of the touch pad if it off for a single session.

    Enable / disable

    Control Panel > display icon > mouse > Settings of TouchPad > click on "enable TouchPad.

    They continue parameters to install and configure the TouchPad as you like it...

    ==========================================================================

    A method that works with the pilots 'old', it is a failure of session by session...

    Make sure this setting is ON / CHECKED:

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    () repeat) TouchPad settings (button) > click tapping >

    Click the shimmering blue wheel

    In "box to Disable TouchPad settings".

    CHECK "Double Tap to activate / disable the TouchPad.

    In the 'Action in the upper left'

    CHECK "Disable the TouchPad during a session.

    Close

    Ok


    NOTE that, if it is available on your version, you can select to "turn off the TouchPad" - that's fine, unless something goes wrong.  You could get stuck without your USB mouse AND no way to return to the setting to activate the touchpad.  I don't know if I would use this setting.

    ======================================================================================

    Next...
    Latest drivers (V16.x) have the ability to disable the TouchPad / click on the keypad with a setting on the main page 'Settings' when a USB mouse is used.  This is a very nice feature.

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    CHECK "disable the pointing device internal when the external USB pointing device is attached.

    If you want to be alerted and see a visual cue of disability >

    TICK "Animated icon in the taskbar" >

    and make sure you have your updated task bar notifications so you can see the view of the mouse.

    =====================================================

    I hope this helps!

  • How to disable the VirtualStore in Windows 7?

    Tell me why I should leave it or what it does. I know what he does. It prevents my application to work correctly. The application must be able to read/write files in their ACTUAL location, not in their virtual store. Disable UAC on Vista it kills, but in 7, it isn't. How can I disable this feature of AWFUL bug [s] [s]?

    The application is shared on the network and have the machine hosting on windows 7 means that the host cannot run the application because it won't work 'live' data.

    Thank you microsoft, again, you know exactly what the program or the user wants to do better than them. >:(

    The way to disable in vista and 7 (which does not disable the UAC in vista) is to use the TAKE OWNERSHIP permission (google it and get the reg file to add it to your right click menu) to take charge of the case. Then give desired of all users full access to the folder, windows will be stop duplication in and working outside your store.

    No, thank you to everyone who came and told me I didn't know what I was doing / did not feature (BUG) / should not turn it off.

    I write the answer to help those who agree with me that this virtual store is nonsense. And this happening to a computing device rather than a computer is also ridiculous. I want an OS, not a computing device. If I wanted a computing device I would buy a mac.

  • How to disable the pop up "Windows Media Player cannot download the information on the media... "after the extraction of a CD without activation of network connectivity.

    When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

    I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.

    In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.

    its on the side and it won't slide

    Although by default, the taskbar is displayed on the bottom of the screen,
    It can be on any of the sides on what you prefer. To move any
    side to side, simply click an unused portion and drag
    where you want it. Don't forget to click inside it, not on the edge.
    by clicking on the edge and dragging will resize not move.

    If it does not move, it can be locked. In this case, right click on it
    and uncheck "Lock the taskbar", then try again.

    Moreover, with the screen monitors wide today, I prefer the taskbar
    on the left or the right of the screen. I think that allows a better
    use of real estate than have it at the bottom of screen.

  • How to reset the taskbar preview window for Excel 2010?

    Hello

    My taskbar do not display all my Excel workbooks in the form of individual windows when I hover over the button. It's annoying because it makes it more difficult to pass from one to the other. This happens when workbooks are open in different instances of excel. "Show all windows in the taskbar" is checked in the Excel options. I searched internet but cannot find an answer to this question.

    I also noticed that the preview for Windows Media Player window is the play/pause and another aymore buttons. I think that the issues are linked.

    These questions appeared at the same time and after that I got a malware that took me a while to get rid of.
