    How to make start bar totally transparent?


    Hi all fellow forum-ers

    First of all would love to say I love this site, Im constantly learning new things and tweaks to make my windows that much more shexier. Currently I'm using star dock on auto-hide and I have relocated my windows start menu bar to the left side of the screen and auto-hide also, and use fences to hide all of my desktop icons (treating my 37 lcd tv as a sort of art/photo frame). What I would like to know is if there is a way to totally make the start menu bar transparent. I know there is a feature within Star dock that lets me hide the menu bar and use star dock as my sole menu bar but I find that I still feel more comfy navigating thru stuff on the windows menu bar. Its not really noticeable when I have a lite background but when the background switches to a darker theme the outline of the menu bar even when its hidden is really noticeable. So to make a long question short, how would I go about eliminating this issue??

    Cheers

    well to be more precise Im not too sure if transparent is the right word...It just does a sloppy job of auto-hiding the taskbar....when it goes into hiding i can still see the very edge of the taskbar..just wanna make it so that it goes completely into hiding unless I hover over it..Does that many any sense to anyone??...maybe a picture of whats going on would be more revealing...

    Try this and see if it helps:Prisoner7's Gallery

    I use it to hide the thing myself, but you have to use a keyboard hotkey to unhide it. I might make an update eventually to let you touch the bottom of the screen with the mouse to un-hide it...
