TheTaskbaris one of the elements that computers with the operating system Windows have had available almost since the beginning of time, and yet, that does not take away that some users sometimes would like to get rid of it. Indeed, we also know that many applications are designed to modify different aspects of this environment, which is why today we will talk about TransBar, one of them.

Precisely, in the case of this application, we are referring to a completely free platform, which consumes almost no system resources, and that will allow you to set the level of transparency you want for your Windows Taskbar . Just as you hear it, it has a primary function, which is related to allowing us, if we wish to, to make completely transparent theTaskbarof our computer.

The attraction of the case is that, unlike similar apps, TransBar offers us two powerful functions, which would be to make the bar completely transparent or show it in the usual format but also select the right point of transparency we are looking for. This is an advantage because according to the precise moment in which we will establish transparency, we will obtain the result we are looking for.

Interestingly, TransBar has a small image that is updated in real-time as we remove or add transparency; thanks to this, we can observe a preview of how our Taskbar will look. We have found this to be good because you don't have to accept the transparency repeatedly until you are sure that a level has appealed to you.

Anyway, you will see inside the main window of this software that the Auto applies function is available, in principle active, which produces the changes on the Taskbarautomatically while we move the transparency bar. That is to say; with the Auto apply active, you will have a kind of two previews, the one that the application offers and the same Taskbar of your computer that will become transparent in real-time.

On the other hand, this utility offers some additional options that allow you to take advantage of it a little better, such as a set to start its operation together with the operating system, so you will never see the Taskbar , for example. If your preference is to take the transparency of the Taskbar to the maximum and you determine that the service starts with Windows, then next time, you will not see it from the beginning.

We also didn't want to fail to point out another issue that sometimes doesn't make itself present when we use these applications that try to modify on their own the Windows environment: TransBar results are stable all the time, no matter what we do. Since we put this service to work, the Taskbar will remain transparent no matter what programs we open, avoiding forced closures or screen freezes common in this software.

TransBar is compatible with practically all versions of the Windows operating system, considering that we have successfully tested it in Windows 10. However, we know of other users who have done the same in previous versions and have not had any problems either. Other similar applications do not work on Windows 10, so keep this detail in mind.

As for the program interface itself, we have to say that it is practically non-existent, as it is barely a medium-sized gray window that lets us set a couple of configurations. However, that is only part of the application. If we had to qualify, it would be mainly from the transparency effect it achieves on our Taskbar , and in that sense, we can say that it is very well executed.

If we had to highlight some of the main strong points of this simple but fulfilling application, we could point out in the first instance that it allows us to establish the right end of transparency we are looking for. In the second instance, it stands out because it is possible to determine that it starts with our Windows operating system so that we never again have to put up with that annoying Taskbar .

Of course, from this, we can also distinguish some aspects that have to do with the negative of this platform, which there are also. The first is that it only lets you modify the Taskbar when it could also take care of the Desktop icons or other elements that remain in view. Another issue that unfortunately is not present has to do with applying opacity to the Taskbar , something that similar programs do offer.

In summary, If you want an application that allows you to make your Taskbar of Windows transparent, free, fast, and simple way without hardly consuming system resources, TransBar is your best option . Of course, we have already mentioned that it offers little more than that, but it delivers flawlessly what it promises in the first instance, which we should highlight.
