Start Menu and Task Bar transparency
 

Anybody know of a good way to add this without a lot of hasstle?

I have tried AlphaXP which causes problems with the start menu (it goes black) and also Xp Visual tools which was good - BUT - didnt make the All Programs bit of the start menu transparent as well (bug?).

Any ideas?

I believe styleXP http://www.tgtsoft.com/ offers this functionality amoungst others.

Try it see how you get on.

(It isnt freeeware but a trial is available)

Why would you want them transparent?

Dump windows :)

Alterntively you could dump windows explorer and use geoshell.

Why not? :D

Geoshell - Hmmmm - i will try StyleXP but im not looking to bloat - i would rather have an app that just does the transparency.

Hmmm. Tweakers though - usually tweak until either they break it, they can't find anything or their PC is running too slow to be usuable. Hey tweaker - leave that interface alone :p: :D

If I find something small and not too bloaty i will use it - but not at the expense of speed.

Linux has had this for years. :rofl:

Geoshell slims rather than bloats.

Which is all very well if the only thing you want to run is an internet client and a couple of Microsoft knock-off's but if you dont want to be spending ages getting to grips with a notoriously unfriendly OS and getting your sentence case correct i think there are better ways of achieving menu transparency than changing out your entire OS.

Just my :2cents:
