    Choose a default Windows Aero Theme first. Then you can change the taskbar colour and transparency.

    Windows may disable Aero Theme's if your graphics processing unit (GPU) isnt up to the task. Excuse the pun.

    Users without a Aero Theme selected wont be able to change the colour of the taskbar. Users with a "Windows Basic" theme selected dont have this option. 

    So your answer is unhelpful to some users.

    For the users that dont have that option available, they need to select an Aero Theme first. Then they can change the windows taskbar colour.
