Ive had this problem but its more annoying than any thing else and ive search google and seemed to have found info on it but still cant get to correct it.
Several months ago my bottom task bar became kind of see though, as in the picture below.
click to enlarge.

As you can see you can see my desktop wall paper through the bottom task bar.
I'm using windows 8 but cannot think what ive done for it to go see through.
I dont supose anyone can help me get my task bar back to a non see through one please.

All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

Install Classic Shell then change task bar to opaque.

It's called aero or glass effect. Your computer has suddenly decided that it has a good enough graphics card to give you some eye candy, but you don't like it. Google the above to see how to remove it...0

I don't know about Windows 8, but this doesn't work on Windows 8.1.
There's a suggested solution/work-around posted on http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-desktop/windows-8-and-81-taskbar-transparency/2aabf8d7-2087-47c7-89cb-e6bea7d8fb1e (see the third reply).0 -
