Semi-Transparent Taskbar

So I was browsing the 07 desktops and saw this:

That taskbar looks neat, anyone know what program allows you to get it clear, or if its just a specific skin? I searched the forums but didnt find anything, just a bunch of programs that make the entire bar transparent. Looks to me like only part of that bar is transparent...Thanks in advance!

Here's the link: Click Me!

You will need WindowBlinds to install this theme.

the link that iiswiis provided is a type of clear theme

but if you want the Exact one in that screenshot

it is called

Ecliz by JJ Yang. and its a windowblinds theme. I dont have a link but just do a deviantart search

those are both very nice. in the past ive used the uxtheme.dll patch and just gone with msstyles (ive been using GUI.Air from b0se for a while now).

currently running this, i see a more or less transparent taskbar. this is good.

however, my windows arent skinned well. firefox doesnt have the transparent and vista-esque look on top and around the borders. any ideas? im relatively new to windowblinds, and i have a trial version until i decide if i like it or not. thanks!

Has anyone ever had this problem with windowblinds?

Update: I asked over at the stardock support forums and they told me:

on the trial version, per pixel only works on the skins provide with the program - doesn't work on downloaded skins

This is kinda lame, basically I can't really TRIAL their product. I guess it's just one more reason to stick with msstyles. Spending money to try something I might not like isnt my cup of tea.

Trust me man, it's worth every penny of the 20.00 you pay. Buy it...the advantages over .msstyles are astounding.

Like what? I'm the type of user where extra flashy stuff doesnt impress me but rather gets in the way. I've heard about the hyperpaint stuff (negative system footprint) and I'm not sure I buy it. Regardless, if I cant demo the skins I would actually use, I cant even say if I would like it or not :(

instead of faking it like Windowblinds does....how about programs that actually make the taskbar transparent? Like Transparent Taskbar from http://www.dofsoft.com/products.htm

Yea, I guess its nice, but I like the look of the transparent bar but solid window buttons. Just thought it looked snazzy, its not a big deal.
