I don't know whether this is a Start8 or Display Fusion problem. I am using Windows 8 and Start8 and the transparencies of the taskbars is different. The left monitor is transparent and I can make it 0% transparent in Start8 custommization. The right monitor ONLY is controlled by Display Fusion. Can I make them the same? I like the Aero effect of Display Fusion on the right monitor. I could live with 1% transparency on the right, but the start button also disappears until I hover over it.

In Start8 Configurancy, on the Desktop tab, checking or unchecking "Disable Taskbar Translucency" controls this feature. This makes the taskbar a solid color, blue in my case or, actually, transparent.

OK! Here it is. It might be more evident with no wallpaper. If this doesn't work. I'll try that.

I am not running anything that would change the taskbar except Start8 and DF. I'm new to Windows 8, but I think you are referring to the Control Panel > Personalization screen. If correct, I seem to be running "Synced Theme" under My Themes. I don't know where it cam from, but it must be from DF or Start8.

When I change to one of the Windows Default Themes, both taskbars are translucent gray and the wallpaper is something from Windows. Loading the next image from the DF wallpaper settings makes both a translucent solid. That seems to solve the problem. I guess that I should save the "Unsaved Theme" that shows up and use it. Changing the checkmark in Start8 settings does affect this new theme,making the left taskbar either solid or translucent, but clicking on the Synced Theme goes back to transparent.

I kind of like the transparent, if I could get it on both screens. I've attached the Synced Theme file if you want to look at it.

Thanks for your help.

No clue. I have no file anywhere like that in C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming. I didn't install it manually, it was just there after I installed Start8 and Display Fusion. I think I installed Start8 first, but can't be sure.

My C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\DisplayFusion folder contains 5 files. DebugInfo.html, DebugInfo.txt, Wallpaper_2 (no extention - 10,336 KB File), Wallpaper_2.jpg (one of my wallpaper photos), and WallpaperHistory.db. Don't know what else to offer.

I'll walk through my experience and see if there is any light to be gleaned from it. I installed Windows 8 in a clean partition (dual boot with Windows 7) and installed a few programs on it. One of these was Display Fusion, standard installation, no special stuff. I also, later, installed the trial version of Start8, but I don't remember anything about the task bars. It was when I decided to uninstall Start8 that my troubles began. I could not reboot into either Windows 7 or Windows 8 after that uninstall and eventually had to restore my W 7 installation from an Acronis backup. I was never able to repair either of my Windows installations. I formatted the partition that I had W 8 installed on and reinstalled it on a completely different drive and partition, leading to the present situation.

While in my first installation, I also installed uxStyle and the Aero8Rounded-Default.theme, as well as Winaeroglass, so there may be some culpability there. Considering all the problems that I had, I ain't going there again, but that might explain the anomaly that I experienced.
