It depends on the SYS. If it's 6.5 or 6.5.x, you can just edit a png file. The png file to edit is dependent upon the tsk you choose, so I can't be anymore specific without more information.

It is 6.5.x. It is the original tsk that comes with the rom. When I change to a new one, the same backround is still there! I am not sure if that is the info that will help!

Actually, it looks like NRG hex-edited the taskbar to be transparent. If you just want a black taskbar back, copy the attached .png to \windows, and edit your registry accordingly as shown below:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\TaskBar]
"TaskBarThemeImage"="\Windows\black_taskbar.png"

You can change the black_taskbar.png to any color/image you want. If you re-name it, just make sure the name matches in your registry.

I use Max TF3D Thememaker v4.1 to make both the top and bottom bars transparent (not just the curtains). It does the job pretty well, but gives you the power to royally screw up Manila, so be careful and back up your configuration before starting.
