[quote]Do you have active desktop enabled? An easy way to tell is if your desktop icons text has a blurred shadow under it. If not then you are in active desktop mode. WindowBlinds on XP requires that the desktop is in normal non active desktop mode for taskbar transparency to work. The display properties desktop tab has a customize button. If you click that and then click the web tab you should be able to see if any HTML items are enabled. I notice you seem to have a calenda

Thanks guys. It was enabled, have disabled it. Then I rebooted windows, and restarted windowBlinds and the tranparency is still not working. What stranger is that when I click the START button, the blur & semi-transparency work fine, it is only the 'Taskbar' which appears not to be displaying correctly. Any advice please?
