taskbar not transparent

i have just downloaded windows blinds and have applied my first theme for windows xp. i have enabled the transparency look for all menus, taskbars.... it looks great but i have noticed that my taskbar (it is on the auto-hide setting) does not do the glass effect look, it just seems to use the potion of my desktop wallpaper.

if you look at my desktop wallpaper with the taskbar up it looks transparent but when you open a application window and call up the taskbar you can see that it is not transparent and just uses the botton part of the desktop wallpaper

i would like (if possible) that the taskbar be transparent.

has anyone got a solution to my problem? help much appreciated

This is a cracked version, todays date on this file shows this. Uninstall it and download trial or purchase full version from Stardock.

As for the taskbar, on XP the trans is fake and only uses the bottom of desktop wall, for live trans you need to be using Vista.
