The way it works with colors is that the first three elements of the code are the color defined by mixing RRR,GGG,BBB (Red, Green, Blue) and the last is "alpha" or "transparency" from 0 (completely invisible) to 255 (completely solid). So to get something like your taskbar in the image you posted, you would probably use 34,86,157,190. The 34,86,157 gives you that blue http://rainmeter.net/color/, and the 190 is a "somewhat transparent" alpha value. You can play with that 190 to get the exact amount of transparency that pleases you.
