Respects your PC
Collects no data
No accounts, no advertising, no tracking. Its only trip online is the Microsoft Store licence check.
Honest about changes
Before it starts, Noir Bar tells you what it changes. While it runs, it hides the Windows taskbar and turns on its auto-hide. Quit Noir Bar, or uninstall it, and the Windows taskbar comes back as it was.
Light on your PC
Every move is drawn by your graphics card at your screen’s full frame rate, and it rests quietly when idle.

Questions
Which Windows do I need?
Windows 10 version 2004 or later, or Windows 11. The glass needs “Transparency effects” turned on in Windows Settings.
How does the free trial work?
Try it free for 7 days with nothing locked. Then buy it once, with no subscription. The Microsoft Store handles the trial and the payment. The price is US$4.99; the Store shows it in your own currency.
Does it collect my data?
No. Noir Bar has no accounts, no advertising and no tracking. It only goes online through the Microsoft Store, to check your licence. Read the privacy policy.
Why does the glass sometimes turn solid?
While Windows Energy Saver is on, Windows turns blur off for every app. The glass comes back when Energy Saver goes off.
How do I remove it?
Uninstall it from Start like any Store app. The Windows taskbar comes back, and Noir Bar’s settings go with it.
