Customize your taskbar with transparency effect and reveal striking beauty of Windows desktop!
Actual Transparent Window lets you apply a transparency effect to any window in Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/7/8/10. The transparency effect allows you making any window semi-transparent, with any transparency level being easily adjusted fr om 0% (not transparent, or opaque) to 100% (fully transparent, or invisible). It looks very impressive and can be highly useful with such windows as the Windows taskbar, Winamp, the Start menu, drop-down menus and lists, any instant messenger and even application windows.
If you have a decorative wallpaper, or attractive desktop colors, Actual Transparent Window lets them through to keep your desktop workarea beautiful! All you need is to make your taskbar transparent.
