That's wierd man, I was playing around with the objects and found it very confusing. I had two taskbars, one of them had a light colored background, the other dark. The light-colored taskbar had the same transparent effect thing you describe. The DARK colored taskbar had a normal text with the colors I picked in the properties screen. It gets wierder though, if I made the dark one 100 pixels in height or more, the text was solid, if it was 99 pixels or less, the text became transparent. The light one didn't do the same thing, I couldn't get the text solid, I tried everything. Very strange, needless to say it didn't work right for me too...
Sorry, not much of a help, am i?
I did take a screenshot of it though...
