Greg not sure how you made the graphic. I make the flat part of the TB graphic on one layer and set adjusted the transparency where I wanted it. Then I added another layer the size you want (smaller) and put in the gradient. It should wiork if you do it on one layer. Make sure the color used is in your case Black and then add the Gradient. I'm well aware you are good at making graphics but just though I would throw this out. Strange things can happen at times and once I spent an hour trying to do this and realized I keep changing the fill and not the transparency. I believe you use paint shop pro but if you did this in PS I would love to see the psd.

haven't had the time to put those programs on yet, this might the incentive???

the graphic is made correctly, double checked to be sure. I'm having a sneaky suspision that I might be getting this because the tray section, start button and pinned app graphics are solid color from top to bottom while the taskbar button are not?? thought it good to see if anyone encountered this before.

It's probably caused by the taskbar blurring the background. Tune off the background effect method from

Blur to semi transparent in the taskbar extra settings tab, on SkinStudio.
