You are in the wrong section. You need to go here, and read all about it.

Don't just jump in at the end of a thread. This takes some study.

I ran aero glass on Windows 8 prior to WindowBlinds 8 being released, and due to the GUI glitches that occurred then, and probably still occur now, I personally recommend you wait a few months for WindowBlinds 10 to be released.  Anyone looking for transparency cares about how their GUI looks, and WindowBlinds does that and so much more without having GUI glitches.  AeroGlass works, don't get me wrong, but it's quick and dirty instead of the right, and extremely complex, way it should be done.  DWM has extremely deep hooks within Windows and is not the easiest to bypass, which is the main reason it takes several months following a new Windows release for a compatible version of WindowBlinds to be released.

 

Without AeroGlass you can get a fully transparent taskbar with Start10 from Stardock (who also makes WindowBlinds).  This may be possible natively on Win 10, however I can't remember.
