Go to Personalize, then go to Windows Color, and drag the Color Intensity to the left (see pic below). You also need to check the box saying 'Enable Transparency'.
It cant get more transparent without applying a custom theme (Which requires UxTheme Patcher)

If you feel like giving that a go, you might want to check this dude's work on DA. alkhan on deviantART

Well, because you keep making new threads on the same subject. Making duplicate threads on the same subject just confuses and wastes people time in trying to help. If you don't want your threads to be deleted or merged together, please stop doing it.

Try to run the installer for the patching instead of doing it manually.

You may need to take ownership of the files to be overwritten. You can install the take ownership registry entry that will add take ownership to your right click context menu. You can download it here: RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

Then you just need to right click on the files to be overwritten, click on Take Ownership, and then try rerunning the UxTheme Patch.

Edit: or you can try Sergio's method above.

start menu and taskbar transparent bar..
can it be done manually?
without 3rd person software..
i mean with using registry..can anyone tell me how?

If you have transparency enabled, your windows should be somewhat transparent already.

I know you can make the windows seem more or less transparent by tweaking the hue and saturation sliders under the Color Mixer menu.

Hi, Bongo,

I declared some ten hours ago that I would post how to run the Simplified Chinese program which would enable the clean transparent start menu.

There was too much addive device to install that program as well as after being installed. For this reason, I deleted my original reply.

After some research, I found that it should be very simple for us to have that effect:
1. Extract the transparent theme from:
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
2. Remove the additive device in the .theme file, then save it.

I will try it with a "Clean Windows 7", if it works, I will upload the theme as soon as possible.

The following is my way to apply the totally transparent start menu:

1. Adjust "for best performance" of the Visual Effects in the Performance Option.

2. Disable UAC in the Control Panel.

3. Take ownership of the C:\Windows\Resources.

4. Run the UniversalThemePatcher as sergiogarcia9's tutorial "Theme - How to Apply Custom Themes" , then restart the computer.

5. Download the "start menu transparent theme.rar" from my SkyDrive. (I hope the link works....:shock

6. Extract the rar file, and copy the AaeroA file folder and the AaeroA.theme into the file folder of C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

7. Go back to the Performance Option to set the Visual Effects back to "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer",

8. Go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes, and click the "AaeroA.theme ". OK, the transparent startmenu will appear right away, and we can customize our theme now.

For example:


And with some modfication, we can have better effect, certainly:



Hope it works for you, too.
