"Everyone underrates this software"
Version: Transparent TaskBar 1
Pros
Minimalistic design. Easy to navigate UI. Remembers settings even upon exit of program. Bug free. Works flawless on XP or Vista.
Cons
None at all.
Summary
Just because an application isn't "feature rich" doesn't mean it isn't a great piece of software. The point of the application is NOT to make your taskbar entirely transparent, to add a dash of transparency just to please the eye. Every free transparency apps for taskbars that I have used dim everything, even Nvidia's software! Nvidia's software was buggy too and this isn't. Quit expecting so much for free people. This software is more than sufficient for what it does, and does not deserve to be trashed like you have trashed it. And if you want to hide the slider, right click on it and hit "exit." Since it tweaks explorer.exe, exiting the program will not lose your transparency settings. So quit complaining that their is no way to minimize or hide it... it doesn't need those features! In summary, this is a great piece of underrated freeware that does as advertised.

"Come on guys... you can do a better work."
Version: Transparent TaskBar 1
Pros
1- The instalation works fine.
2- It's free.Cons
1- It can't be minimized.
2- The systray icons and the textof the taskbar shouldn't be transparent.
3- Full transparency is useless, you can't see anyhing!! at least leave the text visible...Summary
It looks like if it isn't finished yet. I know it's free, I also know the goodwill of the creator but sometimes this is not enough. Keep working.

"Decent. Kinda pointless, though."
Version: Transparent TaskBar 1
Pros
Works great, No bugs that I've found.
Cons
It would help if the slider thingee could be minimized.
Summary
Works very well. There's no real need for it, though, unless you're rteally picky about the looks of your desktop. It's neat.

"Overall, not really worth it, even though it's free"
Version: Transparent TaskBar 1
Pros
It actually makes it transparent
Cons
Didn't really blend with the XP environment
Why not put the controller in the system tray?Summary
Overall, this program is lackluster in performance, dropping a transparent mask over all the elements in the taskbar instead of really getting creative and maybe recognizing things like WMP mini-mode and not masking them. Also, the fact that it always remains as that box prompted me to immediately uninstall; I highly value order and desktop real estate, to the point that I refuse to use sidebars, widgets, docks that don't hide well, etc.
