Go to the Appearance section in the control panel and chose an Aero theme.

Ok, search for Aero in the control panel and click "Find and fix problems with transparency and other visual effects".

Maybe this helps.

That's normal when you have the basic theme enabled, you can't change the color of it.

This happens to me when I'm playing a game that changes the desktop. Sometimes the changes will stick if the game crashes or some such. For instance, some games will make my taskbar not transparent and it'll stay like that.

A reboot should fix it, also make sure the game isn't still running via task manager.
