2. There you choose the "Personalization" category and select the "Colors" entry in the left menu.
3. Scroll down a little and activate the option "Make menu 'Start', taskbar and info center transparent".
4. The changes are applied immediately. If this is not the case, restart your computer to apply the settings.
