Thanks for sending that over, I was able to reproduce this issue as well, so I've added it to our list to look into.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-taskbar-2nd-monitor-clock-background-same-as-system-taskbar-color-despite-being-set-to-transparent-w11-df-beta7/?ID=74865026-8d26-475a-98ae-93534dedf934#3 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 18:53:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-taskbar-2nd-monitor-clock-background-same-as-system-taskbar-color-despite-being-set-to-transparent-w11-df-beta7/?ID=74865026-8d26-475a-98ae-93534dedf934#3 DisplayFusion Thanks Owen. Attached is the troubleshooting file you requested, and a screenshot of my second monitor with the DF taskbar, showing the system taskbar color as the clock background. I verified that it changes whenever I change the system taskbar color. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-taskbar-2nd-monitor-clock-background-same-as-system-taskbar-color-despite-being-set-to-transparent-w11-df-beta7/?ID=74865026-8d26-475a-98ae-93534dedf934#2 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 19:00:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-taskbar-2nd-monitor-clock-background-same-as-system-taskbar-color-despite-being-set-to-transparent-w11-df-beta7/?ID=74865026-8d26-475a-98ae-93534dedf934#2 DisplayFusion Hi Bob,

The background of the rest of the DF taskbar, including two icons that should not appear in the system tray (network & sound icons; reported separately) is transparent.
