When I look at the empty area at the top of the browser window I can see whatever is behind the window but it is blurry.

Is there a way to make this area transparent.  I can't do this making any changes to the desktop in "personalization" in control panel.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately there is no other way other than enabling tranperancy.We cannot view desktop items directly on the menubar of Internet Explorer.

    Right click your desktop and select personalize,

    Click on the Windows color link on the bottom,

    Check the box, enable transparency, save changes.

    Thanks,

    I had done that quite a while ago including reducing the color intensity as low as it would go.  It looks like enabling the transparency results in opaque rather than transparent.

    Is it possible this was done deliberately so the items on menu bar would be visible against what ever is on the desktop?

    If the partial screen shot showed up in my question that is the result of these changes.
