No. I want to disable translucency.

Try looking in the personalization settings, and wherever you choose your colors, get a custom color with full "intensity" or whatever it's called.

[Shell]

I tried that. It's still pretty translucent.

You could try getting an alternate W8 theme from DA or something.

Make the bottom of your desktop (where the taskbar is) white.  That's the super cheap way to do it. (though it doesn't really matter.)

C:\Users\<you>\AppData(HiddenFolder)\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

Find your theme and edit it with notepad
In the [VisualStyles] section find Path=Blah blah blah\Aero\Aero.msstyles
Change Aero.msstyles to AeroLite.msstyles

Save the file and then doubleclick on your .theme file to apply it.
Beware, this will change some other aspects of the theme.
