Is there no way to not have this ugly issue? It ruins about 90% of the skins out there for XP when you have an auto hide taskbar

I found out myself that the NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager that comes with their drivers has a option to make the taskbar transparent.. problem solved, for me anyway..

This is normal on Windows XP.
The taskbar is transparent to your wallpaper, not to any windows placed under it.
When on Vista the taskbar is transparent to windows under it too.
