Windows 10: How do I extend app window borders to the bottom and below of the taskbar?

I have downloaded an app which makes the taskbar on the bottom transparent, and it look beautiful on desktop mode. But when I open a program eg. a browser, it looks weird as it is still transparent but shows a part of the desktop background. Instead, I want to be able to extend app window borders to the bottom of the taskbar, such that it is still transparent, but instead a part of the program eg browser is shown, instead of the desktop background image. How can I achieve this?

Independent taskbar and window border colours?


One of the things I find most annoying about Windows 7, being a long-time XP user, is the lack of independent colour settings for the various GUI elements, for example, the taskbar, active window title bar and active window border colours are not separately settable. I see no reason whatsoever why this has to be so - XP offered far, far more flexibility in this respect.

As far as I can see, we still have the same situation with Windows 10. It appears to be impossible to have the taskbar a different colour to the active window title bar and border. It is even impossible to get the taskbar to be a solid colour - it is always transparent. There is not even a Windows 7-like opacity control. A massive step backwards in user personalisation control.

And why doe the window border have to be so thin? I can hardly see it at all.

Taskbar Scroll Bar Removal

Hi Nick,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Follow the below mentioned steps and check if it helps.

• Right-click on an empty area of the Windows taskbar. Click to clear the checkmark from the "Lock the Taskbar" option if needed.
• Then right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then select "Properties."
• Click to place a check in the "Group Similar Taskbar Buttons" box. Click "Apply" followed by "OK" to confirm the changes. This option combines multiple instances of the same application into a single taskbar button. If this does not remove the scroll arrows,
  continue to the next step.
• Hover your mouse cursor over the border between the Windows taskbar and the desktop until a double-arrow icon replaces the standard pointer.
• Click the taskbar border and drag it upward to double the height of the taskbar. Any icons on the second row will be displayed, and the scroll arrows will vanish.
