Is there any way so that i can disable taskbar background but to leave start button and icons (quick launch, tray etc.) like on pictures? If there is any registry trick or somehow to enter into current theme resource and erase that taskbar background or is there any program that do that job?

Please help

i dont know about the desktop clock, but as for the taskbar not having a background, that is probably a custom visual style. i'll see if i can find one to fit what u want.

EDIT
i found a VS that u may like that has a transparent taskbar here: http://hirawan.deviantart.com/art/GlassGlow-RC1-63366544
and of course if u dont already know use this program to enable custom VS on vista: http://www.codegazer.com/vistaglazz/

I use Win XP and Vista theme, so I need programs/tricks for XP.

ok, well been a while since i've played with XP but im not sure transparency is fully supported in cases like this but i tried something and put together this http://www.mediafire.com/?yf8ml9mgm6o8czk

im not sure i changed the right resources in the VS, if i didnt just let me know. besides i am curious as to how this turns out

well i was afreaid of this but i dont believe XP supports transparency in its visual styles. vista and W7 accomplish this thru png images, but XP can't use them. wish i had better news =/

You may want to look into True Transparency.
I don't remember the exact capabilities, but it can at least make some things semi-transparent.
