✅ How to Use TranslucentTB

🔹 Step 1: Download & Install

🔹 Step 2: Run the Program

• Once launched, it adds an icon to your system tray (bottom-right corner).

🔹 Step 3: Customize Taskbar Appearance

Right-click on the TranslucentTB icon in the system tray to access options:

🟢 Regular States:

For each state, you can set:

🔹 Step 5: Advanced Customization (Optional)

You can edit a config.json file for more control:

1. Create a file named config.json in the same folder as TranslucentTB.exe.
2. Use settings like this:

{
  "maximized": "opaque",
