[I figured out how to remove the blur from the taskbar!]

but it does require .NET 4.0 or higher.

 

tbh this sucks

why don't you make normal win32 app ?

 

I believe Windows Visual Styles designers will love me for this. 

 

PS: No dirty wallpaper hacks or tricks are in use here, just pure transparency minus blur!

 

your app sounds great, would love to have it, but your download link is unavailable. Shows 509 error great job and contribution!
