1: the itunes bug only affected me back in the RC1. now Im pretty certain theyve fixed it. i have had no problems with Itunes so far.

2: The taskbar doesnt go transparent. it alters slightly with Aero enabled but alas, it is not completely transparent. However, when you change the color of the Aero theme, the taskbar 'appears' to be more transparent.

Right so far Ive seen one which make it totally transparent. if you visit the Vista Customization forum there is something which apparently makes it more transparent, but I cant notice any difference. your best bet is to change the color.

When you change your desktop and color to orange then it gets more transparent like this;

The only other option is to keep your windows restored and drag them to fit your screen. then the start bar is a bit more transparent. Like this;

Otherwise, your stuck with the boring black.

I cant attach the other picture...somethings wrong with the site, im gonna contact an admin or something, but basically just restore the window, drag it by the corners so it fits the whole screen, and then the traskbar is also slightly more transparent... voila!

Medking

so your windows are not maximied? also go into personalize in control panel, go to windows color and adjust the transparency slider. when i have my laptop pluged in it switches to high performance which allows transparency, but with battery on battery mode it switches it off, check that in power options.

Hmm i see, Did you download the vista transparency thing from the other forum. Cus I havent done that, and when you restore windows so that you have none maximized, the taskbar appears slightly more transparent. (See attachment)

By the way, even after you change the trasnparency slider, it doesnt make the taskbar completely see through.

compare the two:

No I haven't downloaded any "vista transparency thing" from other forum...

Will that make it transparent ?

1: No its not the fact that its extended upwards, I thought the same thing at first. Check the attachment...

2: we are runnning Vista, not using style or Blinds etc.

3: sorry bout the vista transparency thing from other forum, thought you had downloaded it cus I didnt recognize the firefox icon.

*4: Try uninstalling mozilla firefox. I believe this could be the problem. Firefox does cancel the taskbar transparency from time to time. Otherwise check for a patch.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
