Doca
Comparison · checked Nov 8, 2026
Doca vs TranslucentTB
TranslucentTB makes the taskbar transparent, and that's it. Doca is a different kind of app: a dock with apps, folders, widgets and environments. You can even use both.
Quick answer
Pick TranslucentTB if you like the Windows taskbar as it is and just want it transparent. Pick Doca if you want to change how you use the bar, not just how it looks.
