Great app. Very reliable, and allows for a beautiful desktop.

I used to use TaskbarX, but had constant display and redrawing issues so looked around and discovered TranlucentTB and never had these types of problems anymore.

I love how reliable TranslucentTB is and how functional it is with so many options.

I especially appreciate TranslucentTB after Windows 10 20H2 update killed off the HighContrast extra transparency option, meaning aero blur is even weaker now and on one of my computers that used to have aero transparency stopped being able to do it entirely after getting 20H2. TranslucentTB fixed both issues.

I love the app and can't believe it's free (and opensource!).
