Something wrong with taskbar

[SpagettiNinja]

I suddenly have something weird with my taskbar. It is not really a big deal, but it did worry me, and it is kind of annoying to see. Besides, it is not supposed to be like that. Basically, the problem is best explained through a picture. http://oi57.tinypic.com/jutqa8.jpg

 

Now, the problem is that the Chrome and Skype icons show as if they are running (or if the cursor is held over them), but they are not, and to the right you can see the little flag, windows update icon and the up arrow kind of as a shadow behind the real icons, except they dont line up. This suddenly appeared like this when i started my PC 2 days ago. The computer has been restarted several times between then and now, nothing has changed, and i am wondering what caused this and what i could do to make it go away. I am running Windows 8.1.

 

As i said, not really a big deal, but i dont like it.

This looks like you have literally a printscreened wallpaper with the taskbar overlapping your real transparent taskbar

 

Try changing your wallpaper for something different

Maybe try restarting Windows Explorer?

 

Task Manager > end task "windows explorer" >

and then

File > Start New Task > explorer.exe

 

EDIT: @1Scotty1 might be right... Hahah

Yeah, well.. that is awkward. I cant even explain how this happened, but yes, my background is an actual screenshot of my desktop as it was. I think i know how, anyways, now. I by accident changed my background a few days ago or so, and had to get my normal picture back, so i went into my folder and found it. I guess it turns out i found a screenshot of my desktop instead. And i couldnt figure it out.. heh.

 

I feel stupid now.
