Hi guys! I've been using KDE 3.5 for about a year now and I think its great but one of the feature I really liked in KDE 4 was that you could get the taskbar transparent easily. I know it is possible but I don't know how. This is a picture I found on the web and I hope somebody could help me and maybe tell me what the Plasma theme, window deco & style is. Thanks.

I really would like the same desktop.

If you want the semi-transparent taskbar shown in the screenshot, you need to have compositing (desktop effects) enabled.
