I recently change my desktop background and i noticed that my task bar wasn't transparent anymore. I googled the problem and found this...

  • 1 Right-click on the desktop.
  • 2 Select "Personalize" from the right-click menu.
  • 3 Click on the "Window Color" icon.
  • 4 Click in the box next to "Enable Transparency."
  • 5 Click the "Save Settings" button. The changes will take effect immediately.

When i opened the "Window Color" thing there was no check box, or "enable transparency" :cry:

Did you apply a dark wallpaper?

Is this what you're missing?
