You should be able to adjust the taskbar transprency in the Transparency and Blur menu in the WB config. Just move the slider to the right.

I tried that, and after applying the setting it didn't change

If the author of the skin used transparency for the taskbar (ie, the taskbar image itself is transparent), there is nothing you can really do to get rid of the transparency, other than making a new image for the taskbar that is not transparent...

You can open the skin in SKS 5....then on the left in the tree view.....click on taskbar....then the plus to open it then choose horizontal. The at the top where you see "Analyze"..."code"..."Template"..."Preview"....choose code and you'll see "BackgroundEffect = ?...if it's set at 1 change it to 10 and it should get rid of the tranparency.

Please note though that if the skin was initially created or finalized using SKS 6 and a New Programs highlight image on the All Programs menu was created, saving it back in SKS 5 will lose the image as SKS 5 does not support it. This does not apply to Windows Vista though.

Needs to be set to = 0


Can also be fixed with SKS6, the taskbar is not trans but the resize bar is, setting task to no trans will also make resize bar not trans.

For SKS6

LOL! I have never had a desire to remove transparency from an image....so, how to remove transparency was a non-issue for me!  :d

Personal taste, I think Azenis 2 looks great with trans and blur; this is my own edit of skin.
