I found a way to change color to fully transparent, by researching structure of DesktopWindowXamlSource of Taskbar (Shell_TrayWnd).photo_5217612656314278088_w (1)

I'm curious is it possible to somehow change BackgroundFill in DesktopWindowXamlSource to Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Brush with value of transparent by writing some C# Code.

    It can be done with InitializeXamlDiagnosticsEx and a DLL, like with UWPSpy

    For example RainbowTaskbar does it in C#, but it is very complex...
