Since Windows does not allow by default to modify the transparency level of the taskbar from the settings, we will have to rely on an external application to do the job. There are a lot of these applications but TranslucentTB is the best according to our experience for various reasons, the most important of which is that it is free, its size is light, it is fully compatible with Windows 11, in addition to being open source, it allows many modifications to make the taskbar visually better. It allows setting the taskbar to be completely transparent, or with a blurry background, or even color it any color you want beyond the default colors in the system settings.


In addition to the above, this application helps you to make the taskbar more dynamic with use, so that you can make the taskbar look different in some cases, such as being transparent when opening any window, a certain color when opening the Start menu, and a blurry design when opening the search bar... etc. All in all, it will make the taskbar in Windows 11 much better than it is now.
