How do i make my taskbar looked disappear, but only show icon?

[andywang]

Hi,
I had dreamed to have my taskbar to only show icon,
and make the taskbar (i mean the bar only) looked disappear..
it would be great if anyone can give me a tutorial to make it disappear
and only show the icon and start button.

On the first pic, you just need to click on an empty space (like the one mentioned in the pic). This will remove the borders from the Task Manager (like in the 2nd pic).

By editing the taskbar images you can almost get what you want but not completely transparent it will still have a slight blur have a look at these three screenshots, I edited the taskbar images so they are completely transparent as you can see depending on what kind of background you have the blur they show more or less.

Oops! Sorry. I thought you were talking about Task manager.

It might be easier to use what I have created, that way you did not corrupt the original aero.msstyles, it becomes a third-party custom theme and either way if I do it for you or you do for yourself you will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.

If you just use the taskbar at the bottom I could post it here in a couple of minutes because I have that one ready already but if you move your taskbar around it will take me a few extra minutes to do those also.

Let me know

Here you go.
Download the .zip folder and extract it to your desktop, put both 1 andywang folder and 1 andywang.theme file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes



It will show up in Personalization under Installed Themes as andywang click on it.


Click on Window Color and move the slider to the left and Save changes.
