with default shell, win98 don't have transperency, while win 2000 and win xp has...... also the software should support transperency.

Transparency would work with XP and 2000 only, not 98. There are many tools out there thru which you can change the transparency settings of the Taskbar. Here are a few:

And here's a really cool software:
