Clear Taskbar?

[maarch]

I dont really know the ext version but it's the latest one, someone show it to me

I already know the programe before, but like you I didnt seen that option anywhee, but in this option, there's some more very interesting options like this one

[Hekx]

The only version I thought was still in development was TClockLight.

On WinT's site, I think TClock2 was made by someone other than the author of the original.

[nody]

which parts of the vs did you modify?  just the taskbar?  what color did you choose?

what version?  at least in the version i was familiar with, tclock2 only did a glassy transparency, not a complete transparency.

also, this tool does not run in memory, unlike tclock2.

what did you use for the command?

DON'T do this (if you did)

taskbartransparent.exe a=0 c=02FE14

or (i forgot which)

taskbartransparent.exe a=255 c=02FE14

one of the above sets the whole thing transparent... you just want this:

DO THIS:

taskbartransparent.exe c=02FE14

either that will work or nothing will happen (in my case), then you might have switched the values around.. so try this:

taskbartransparent.exe c=14FE02

Let us know how that works!

Update for me, I finally got what I wanted it to look like... and then i realized i missed the bar (go figure)... now i'm back to the normal taskbar hehe.

I have done a .BAT file and put it into the StartMenu > Start-up

Simple

CD %The Path of TaskBarTransparent.exe%
TaskBarTransparent.exe a=200 c=000000 s=200

And my setting is for a Black Background.

If you don't have StyleBuilder (not free)

Get ResHack, open your .MsStyle with it. Then go in the Bitmap folder.

And replace with a black version the Bitmap: [Name Of Color Scheme]_TASKBARBACKGROUND_BMP

And [Name Of Color Scheme]_TASKBARBACKGROUNDVERTICAL_BMP

It should work.

Hope it help.

Thank all of you guys, that has done the trick, nows workin fine, like all mine was a simple error :blush: i had 0 instead of 255, how dumb can a guy be??? ;)

[NienorGT]

An error is human ;)

Happy that you find it :)

[russellc]

[DigitalE]

Is there a way to get the background PARTIALLY transparent?

read the readme. you have to set it yourself to whatever percentage you want.

[Daniel Tablas]

I can't get the transparency off, in the readme it says to just the exe again, but the taskbar goes back to normal and then the start menu goes transparent, if i click it again it goest the opposite and so on...help:(

eh....nvm I figured it out.

Taskbar: no.

Start menu: yes. (but rather buggy with some skins, sometimes the 'captured' background doesn't redraw properly)

[futb0l]

Ooo.. That's cool :D I don't use taskbars anymore though (using objectbar now).

[Deziban]

Could someone tell me why it looks like this:

The ugly black thing on the MSN icon and the MSPaint one is only there when not selected.

are they transparent icons?

[DigitalE]

When I set it to partially transparent, the whole thing goes transparent.... I need JUST the background transparent, not the buttons or the start button

[freedom77]

i downloaded a great little program from these forums once, it was just an exe you opened it and there was a slider and you could easily choose how transperant you wanted it, much easier than entering numbers all the time.

i'll try see if i can find it now.

what are your settings? i gave instructions on how to set it so that the taskbar disappears (as in kmd's screenshot).

Hi all

This is my first post here and I'm trying to do the same (create a transparent taskbar background). Could someone please let me know how to edit the background colour using ResHacker, I can't seem to find it anywhere :cry:

Thanks in advance

[NienorGT]

Save the BMP

Just open the BMP in Paint and put the color in Black...

Replace the BMP

Thanks for the reply, but I can't seem to find the BMP in the explorer.exe, do you know which folder number it is in? I'm using Windows XP Pro.

Thanks

[Oxalic]

I tried changing the BMP in folder number 145. Is that the correct one?

[dreamz Veteran]

no, the bitmap is not in explorer.exe, but in the appropriate msstyles file (.msstyles). it works with visual styles.
