### Transparency
The transparency of the underlay, or the actual taskbar, can be altered. You can also toggle blur on the taskbar.

Supported transparency effects are:
- Taskbar - change taskbar alpha
- RnbTsk - change underlay alpha
- Both - change taskbar and underlay alpha
- Blur - toggle taskbar blur

### Bitmaps
Bitmap (.bmp) images can be added on RainbowTaskbar. They can also blend with other color effects by altering the transparency.
If your bitmap doesn't work, try opening it in Paint and saving it again.

### Delays
Delays can be used to sleep for an amount of time. They can be used along with bitmaps, to replicate animated images.
