  1. Enable transparency effect ONLY for taskbar - Win11


    Currently the "Transparency effects" in Personalization applies to both windows and the taskbar. I want to enable transparency ONLY for the taskbar and leave the windows opaque.The app TranslucentTB only works when Transparency effect is turned on, but I don't want the windows to be transparent.Is there some way to solve this?Cheers

    Transparency effects for taskbar only?

    Hi, this has been bothering me for a long time.

    I like my accent color dark grey:


    Enable transparency effect ONLY for taskbar - Win11 294444d1598356519t-transparency-effects-taskbar-only-capture.jpg


    But this leads to the taskbar highlighting of the currently active window to be almost not visible.
    The same goes for the "quick action" pane, in which I cannot really see which fields are active or not.

    I found out that one way around this is to set "Transparency effects" to "on"
    and uncheck the "Show the accent color on the Start, tastkbar and action center" box,
    which results in this agreeable result:

    Unfortunately, I find the transparency effects on app windows (e.g. the Calculator) extremely irritating.
    So I am wondering, if there is a way to disable the transparency for windows but leave it enabled for the taskbar and qucik action pane?

    (currently on Version 19041.450)

  3. Transparency Effect

    Hello,

    I've just installed a windows 10 and when selecting the option of Transparency Effect in the Personalization settings my taskbar became totally invisible and transparent, which is a very pretty looking thing. However, after restarting my laptop, it just became
    normal, I tried to switch the Transparency Effect on and off but still, nothing changes. Any solution for this?
