That blurry glassy effect on the taskbar will be there no way to get rid of it the best you can do is transparent images there. Are you editing a custom theme them 2 numbers 971 is not in the default aero, 900 is not for the taskbar in the default aero?

I'm editing a copy of the original aero.msstyles that i found in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. I found 971 in the stream and I managed to remove the shiny/glossy look (I think that's the thing I want removed, not the blurry glass effect) on the taskbar by replacing the image #900 with a transparent one, the only problem I've encountered so far is that I couldn't change the taskbar effect to anything but transparent, I tried replacing #900 back to the original image but it's still transparent even after I restarted my PC.
I forgot about that steam image 971 and that is the correct place to edit the stripes out that's what's nice about Windows Style Builder it breaks down that steam image into individual parts.
Anyway that 900 image is an overlay for the header in libraries folder, I have colorized it and posted a screenshot so you can see what it does.
As a test colorize #845 #1028 for the bottom taskbar and see what happens.
Let me know if I can be of more help.

Your complete theme looks really good, is it up for download?
Here is what I started with and I have tweak it, I cannot share what I have done but I can tell you what I did.
