[IMG alt="run"]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/regedit.png[/IMG] Next, navigate to the following path: [I]HKEY_CURRENT _USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize[/I] [IMG]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Personalize-path.png[/IMG] From there, double click on [B]EnableTransparency[/B] and change its value from 1 to 0 and click OK. [IMG alt="registry"]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Enable-Transparency.png[/IMG] No restart is required. In fact, after changing the value to zero hit the Windows Key and you’ll see the difference. If you’re not a fan of the look just change the EnableTransparency key back to a value of one. Here is what the default transparency looks like: [IMG]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Before-regedit.png[/IMG] And here it is after changing the registry value — much more transparent: [IMG]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/after-regedit.png[/IMG] [SIZE=5][B]Increase the Transparency of the Windows 10 Taskbar[/B][/SIZE] If you want to change the transparency of the Taskbar, head to the following path in the Registry: [I]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced[/I] [IMG]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/1-2.png[/IMG] Now you need to create a new DWORD 32-bit value and name it [B]UseOLEDTaskbarTransparency [/B]and give it a value of 1. [IMG]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/3.png[/IMG] To force the change, go to[I] Settings > Personalization > Colors[/I] and toggle the Make Start, taskbar and action center transparent switch off and back on again. [IMG alt="Settings"]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/2.png[/IMG] Here’s what it looks like by default: [IMG]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/sshot-1-5.png[/IMG] And here is what to expect after making the changes to the Registry: [IMG]https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/sshot-2-6.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
