The Windows taskbar has always been considered a great feature as it helps users pin the most important or used programs, display the search bar, display the date/time, and so on. By default, the Taskbar on Windows 10 is colorless. While Windows 10’s Settings panel comes with few options and some Registry tweaks that allow you to change the Taskbar color, it’s pretty hard to make the Taskbar opaque or transparent. But there is a simple tool called TranslucentTB, which can help you with this.
Make the Taskbar transparent or dim in Windows
Regarding the features of TranslucentTB for Windows, this is designed to perform a specific task. For example, it makes the Taskbar completely crisp or blurry. It doesn’t matter what setting you are using on your Windows computer; It will overwrite it as soon as you turn it on. Besides, it supports multiple monitors. This means that the job can be done even if you have numerous monitoring settings. Alternatively, you can run this program from the command line too. Moreover, it is also possible to change the appearance right from the Taskbar.
To get started with this tool, download and unzip the zipped folder. After that, you will get a file named TranslucentTB.exe. Double click it to run. Then you will find a change like in the image below. I’m using a black background, so the effect might not be pronounced – but look at the Start button, and you’ll see what I mean.
First, it makes the toolbar “Clear”, according to the language of the tool. In simple words, it makes your Taskbar crisp. However, if you don’t want the Taskbar to be transparent but instead want the toolbar to be dimmed, you can click the TranslucentTB icon in the system tray and choose Blur.
