Windows 10: Windows 10 1809 Taskbar Color

I recently updated to version 1809 from 1709 and I am having trouble adjusting the taskbar color. If I set the transparency to off, then the taskbar is black, but windows are also black, but if I set transparency to off, windows are transparent, but the taskbar is dark blue. I was wondering if there is a way to set the windows to be transparent, but at the same time have a black taskbar, like in 1709. Thanks!
