I see that on Windows 10 classic shell has opacity adjustment for taskbar but no such feature for 8.1. Win8.1 taskbar is very transparent and hard to read white text on it. my request is to add taskbar opacity adjustment on 8.1 also. startisback does it but i like using cs more.

I know but Alt-1, 2 is not as simple as F1, F2 as it is two key combination. I enable all 20 recently launched programs so for top 10 I would like F1, F2..F10 and bottom 10 Alt-1, 2..Alt-10. If less than 10 programs enabled it can be simple F1, F2.
