You need StartIsBack++, which brings back Taskbar Skinning. Now use the Windows 7 Theme for Windows 10 to have the Windows 7 look back.
Starting with Version 2 of Startisback++, it brings the Windows 7 taskbar back. See the preview picture:
Download StartIsback++ 2 to try the new skinning feature.
- Added support for full taskbar skinning (TrayNotify::Clock, TrayNotify::Toolbar, ShowDesktop::Button, VerticalShowDesktop::Button, Taskband2Composited::TaskBand2, TaskbandExtendedUI)
Open the configuration tool

and inside appearance tab you can select the Windows 7 style to have Windows 7 Taskbar and Windows 7 startmenu look back.
Perhaps try Winaero Tweaker.It provides the ability to assign Windows 10 the Aero theme from Windows 7 etc. and customize the taskbar opacity.
Edit: Unfortunately after fiddling around with WinAero I cannot find an option to replicate the desired outcome. Apologies.However, I've noticed that you can assign colours to the taskbar in Personalize in Settings. Although this isn't a complete resolution, it makes the taskbar items that are open much more clear. Taskbar Screenshot
