For a tranparent taskbar:

Right click on the taskbar and choose:
"Configure panel" -> "Appearance" tab -> "Advanced Options" button

Change the "Tint amount" to the value that you want, "Min" for full transparency.

For a transparent tasks in the taskbar:

Download taskbar v2 (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=25615) , and install it using this command
sudo dpkg -i mtaskbar-0.7_0.7-1_i386.deb
After Installing taskbar v2, right click on the taskbar and choose:
Remove from panel -> Applet -> Taskbar

And then , right click on the taskbar again and choose:
Add to panel -> Applet -> Taskbar v2

To configure it right click on the black arrow "The applet handle" at the left of the taskbar and choose:
Taskbar v2 Menu -> "Advanced Options"

See the scrrenshot if you don't know where its.
