Hi Dave

Right click on the desktop and select Personalize. Click on the option of color at the bottom of the window. Select the enable transparency option. Click on save changes.

If the transparency option is not available, see the following thread.

How can I get Aero Glass to work?

I hope this helps.

  • How do I change 8 windows taskbar transparency?

    In windows 7, in Customizing for desktop wallpaper settings, we could change the intensity of the color of the taskbar. The lowest intensity would provide a transparent taskbar. Here in windows 8, it can be done as well, but the taskbar are not as opaque from windows 7. Is it possible to change the opacity/transparency of the taskbar?

    You can change the intensity by following the steps below:

    1. Right-click on the desktop
    2. Select Customize
    3. Select the color
    4. Use the color intensity slider to adjust the intensity. You can also use the color mixer (just below the cursor) to adjust brightness.
    5. Select save changes

  • Try to reactivate the taskbar and window transparency

    Hello, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a new laptop Asus UL50A series. This morning I received a message from Microsoft Update 'important' and so I updated my laptop, rebooted and noticed that the borders of my taskbar and window were more transparent. Before the update, everything worked fine, but now it does not work. Everything so far, works great except the issue of transparency. I would like to know how to fix this problem without having to do a system restore, since I already have a lot of important files on my new laptop. Here are some screenshots of Windows 7 settings Customize my not-properly-working:

    Someone knows how to fix this problem, so I can choose my taskbar, the color and opacity settings?

    Was one of these updates for a video driver?  If that were the case, you might want to go back to the previous driver in Device Manager.

    On the same note, ensuring that you have the latest video driver is also important if it wasn't one of the updates.

    Then, you should try to restart the DWM and ensuring that it is auto-start.

    In the search box, type "services".

    When the window appears, select services and check for the Desktop Windows Manager.  Try to restart it.  Then right click on the entry and make sure that it is auto-start.

    3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    If the graphics card and driver were installed after that Windows 7 was first set up, depending on the manufacturer, you may need to update the computer performance index, which will automatically enable Aero. I suggest update you the display update driver and check the status of the issue.

  • 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.

  • Taskbar is Transparent?

    Hello

    I am currently using windows 8 and the taskbar is ALWAYS transparent. It is very distracting that I often need to have more than one document word or PDF file open at a time. I can see parts of the words in the taskbar and looks like it's faulty (even if it isn't).

    I already tried changing the color in the nonsense of customization. It does make the painfully bright/intense colors and does not solve the issue of translucency.

    How can I turn this OFF? Windows 7 used to make me...

    It drives me crazy.

    Hello

    Unfortunately you can not disable the transparency of the taskbar in Windows 8. The only option to avoid transparency is to change the intensity of color to customize.

    1. Right-click on the desktop
    2. Select Customize
    3. Select the color
    4. Use the color intensity slider to adjust the intensity. You can also use the color mixer (just below the cursor) to adjust brightness.
    5. Select save changes

  • Re: Taskbar at the bottom of the screen

    Hi hope someone can help me.  For some reason any while on facebook, the taskbar at the bottom of my screen hides the chat window.  I can't seem to reach it and do not know how to move the taskbar.  Can someone inform them of what has past.  It was beautiful and it disappeared behind the taskbar.

    bar at the bottom of my screen hides the chat window.

    The taskbar is, put in place to hide?  Is transparent?  If so, you can actually use the chat window looking through the taskbar.  In this case, it may be an idea to make the taskbar is higher so there are fewer icons taskbar, obscuring transparency.  Otherwise, you can always switch the taskbar, for example to the top of the screen.  Or what would you say to turn off hide and resizing of the window which shows the Facebook in?  Many possible solutions when you know that the eccentric feature in Windows.

    Good luck

    Have HP Pavilion a1737c PC running Windows Vista, 32-bit. Was going out of town for the weekend then shut down the PC.

  • I can't customize my window color and appearance to change the transparency and color of the window.

    Tuesday night I had to re-charge/reinstall Windows Vista because I had some problems with the worms and Trojans. After that I have re-installed Windows, I was able to customize my resolution and my window color and appearance. Once I installed all the 106 updates of Windows, I was finally able to change my resolution but I still not able to change my window color and appearance. Before I reloaded Windows I could change the transparency of the windows and taskbar and the tone of the colors, etc., but now all I can choose themes default and such of older versions of Windows. I was told that after I downloaded and installed all the updates, I'd be able to do, but I'm still not able to do. Is there a reason why and is there a any solution for this? Drivers? Material? Thank you. :) I hope this has been detailed enough.

    Hi Nicole,.

    In the services dialog box, double-click the themes service. On the Recovery tab, set the first and second failure of the drop-down lists "restart the service".

  • Color of taskbar of Windows 7 (no Aero)

    How can I change the color of the taskbar when the don't use no Aero? I have a powerful enough computer, but I like to pinch every bit of speed I can get to it and which includes the use only no Aero. Currently the task bar are blue but I want a simple configuration of black.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Did you know that Aero lets your computer work better than basic/classic?  In fact, to get the most speed: just disable transparency but allow Aero on.

    Aero uses your video card to store the image of all running applications.  In this way, when you move a window (or maximize a), your CPU and the application itself never even know!  In the old days (GDI Office treatment, which is used in basic/classic mode), the operating system will have to request the application of "re-draw itself every time,"that is why dragging a window around without Aero on the causes of lag and these weird trails when under heavy load.

    If you have a powerful computer with a decent graphics card, Aero will give you much better performance.  Try it, you will not be disappointed.

    (Used XP GDI, it is why turn off the themes you gave the best performance.  "It is not true more.)

    Now, please, can someone give me a solution to this problem?

    I'm not going to tell you, I have THE solution, but this is the place that you can check: your video driver.  See if it has been updated recently?  If so, you can restore it.

    1. Device Manager
    2. Click on graphics cards
    3. Right click on your map and choose Properties
    4. Click on the driver tab
    5. Click on Roll back driver
    6. Restart

    Or, the driver may need an update.  WARNING: do not use one of these driver update sites that you find on the net.  Use only your OEM or the manufacturer of the video card for drivers.  Sometimes Windows Update will offer driver updates.  Sometimes fine, sometimes not work.
