KNOWN ISSUES:

Once you install the Rainmeter, you'll be able to install this skin just by double click.

Works perfectly with my dual monitor setup, and the result is very stylish. Good skin!
Just an hint tho: It could be possible to add the option to turn the taskbar back to opaque after a program is opened in full size? (and back transparent when the desktop is shown or the size of the window reduced). Like the top bar in Android that change color based on the application that's open atm.
That would be really cool

Really awesome job, if a bit of black tint can be added or blur intensity option then it'll be great.

Go to your Rainmeter skins folder (By default it is in the documents folder), then find the folder for the translucent taskbar, and delete it.

This works perfectly on 2 monitors! Thank you so much!

It also seems to run into trouble when you have your desktop background set to change every minute - it wouldn't adjust to the change on my second monitor. It's good aside from that though!

Is it possible to make it transparent only on desktop? its a bit weird when im on other apps and would like it to be a solid color and not transparent, is it possible? (transparent on desktop, solid color while in other apps?)

This is absolutely great! Thank you.
One thing that still really bugs me is that anything that pops out of the taskbar still has the old coloring on it. I've looked into implementing something to do this myself, but due to little experience with the Windows API and Rainmeter plugins I can't seem to find anything (specifically handles for the start menu, action center, etc.). I was wondering if anyone here knows a little more on the subject and might be willing to shed some light on how to implement this.

I was looking for something like for years. Thank you!!!

is there a matching start menu?

Looks amazing on my main monitor but it looks like it isn't working properly on my other 2. Instead of the special effect is just straight up see-through with a small line at the top which I'm guessing is just the border. Thanks anyways though, I'm willing to help get it to work if you need me to test any changes for you

Hey, that's weird. I've heard numerous issues concerning the monitors that arent the main one but I'm afraid I cant really help. The effect is applied by the operating system and if it is having problem either it's very hard to track what's wrong, or I need a reproducible case which I can then work with. Is your GPU brand AMD? People who reported similar issues usually have AMD gpus.

It's working fine for me, and my GPU is made by AMD. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Works perfectly, wish it could add the same effect for start menu and notification panel in win 10.

Is there a way to adjust blur (not simply on/off?)
EDIT: Will there be...?

dumb question, how would i go about implementing this?

How would I make it so that the task bar would be slightly darkened as well? It's a little difficult to see white name when the background is light.

Hi! I've installed the skin but when I click the start button and then anywhere in the desktop, the taskbar blinks and shows for a millisecond the color without transparency
thanks for the skin
