Hi all
I am new to ClassicShell and I just installed it on a fresh new Windows 7
The taskbar looses its transparency and now its fully opaque and black (no matter which color I've choose)
I can't find anything about it so I'm posting here..
Already tried to change transparency in settings, in windows personalize and in visual effects

Open Classic Start Menu Settings and in the search box at the top of the Settings window, type: Taskbar. Uncheck the setting "Disable taskbar transparency".

Right-click on the start button and select "Exit". Does that fix the taskbar?

Yes it does. but as soon as I relaunch it, it goes back to black opaque.

Save your settings to XML using the Backup button in the Settings window and upload/attach it here.

Thanks for the help
I've attached it
One thing I didn't try is to reinstall Classic Shell or clear the settings and reassign them....
I'll give it a try today or tomorrow

Did you happen to load settings from a Windows 10 machine? The XML file contains a setting "CustomTaskbar", which is only available for Windows 10. Delete that line from the file and then load it back. That should fix the problem.

Oh yes I forgot to mention I did load a backup from Windows 10!
Removing that line fixed the issue!
