Make the taskbar transparent in Windows 10

If a monochrome Windows taskbar is too boring for you, you can make it transparent. To do this, you only need to activate a single option:

• First click on the Windows symbol at the bottom left and select the entry “Settings”. Alternatively, use the key combination [Windows] + [I].
• There you decide on the category “Personalisation” and select the entry “Colours” in the left menu.

• Scroll down a little and activate the option “Make the ‘Start’ menu, taskbar and info centre transparent”.

• The changes will be applied immediately. If this is not the case, restart your computer to apply the settings.
