Post subject:  Disabling taskbar tranparency in Windows 8.1?

Hello,

how does Classic Start Menu achieve disabling the taskbar transparency in Windows 8.1?

Is there any way to disable it without Classic Start Menu (i.e. with built-in tools like the registry editor or an open source third party tool or something like that)?

Regards

The start menu uses the function DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow to enable the blur for the taskbar, which effectively makes it opaque.

Hello,

thanks for the fast response.

After your answer, I was able to find an open source tool which does just that, see:
