Yesterday Rich posted an article on how nVidia users can make their taskbar transparent. Well, if you are not an nVidia user and want to apply this effect, give a look at the appropriately named program: Transparent Taskbar.

As you would expect, the program description is pretty simple:

Transparent TaskBar is a free tool that lets you to easily adjust the transparency of your taskbar. Transparent TaskBar can even be set to remember your transparency settings, and reapply them automatically every time you startup your PC.

I just gave it a quick try and it worked without a hitch. Take note of the instructions in the installation program though: this program is designed to work with Windows XP, so it is possible the program my behave erratically with other versions of Windows.
