Taskbar not transparent in RC2

Upgraded from RC1 to RC2. Aero was working great! Now taskbar in my main user
account is opaque though all windows are glass. Switching over to simplistic
Admin login, the taskbar is glass there.

Is there a setting or could this be a bug in RC2?

Check your toolbars that are enabled. I had this happen when I installed
Itunes and it added the Itunes Toolbar to the taskbar. This stopped the
taskbar and menus frmo being transparent. Once I unselected that toolbar,
the transparency came back.

There are still lots of bugs in the Aero interface, including problems with
taskbar shadows and basic menu graphics. I've got a feeling the MS
programmers are working on it pretty hard right now, because it sure isn't
finished in RC2.

Justin, you're a stud! That is exactly it. iTunes toolbar did get turned on
about upgrade time and it is incompatible with aero.

Party on....
