Hi boys and girls, I've a little but disturbing problem.
My MacBookPro late 2016, when I turn it back on, has the dock no longer transparent. So I reset it clicking on the "reduce transparency" function box in the accessibility preferences of the monitor, but when I turn the Mac off and on again... puff! the dock is again not transparent.
How can I do to avoid this?
Many thanks to who will answer me.

This could be a corrupt preferences file.
Click once on your Desktop, click Go in the menubar and select Go To Folder.
Enter this text,
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist
press Go.
A new Finder window will open with the file highlighted.
Move it to the Trash.
Restart your mac, the file will be regenerated.
Open System Preferences> Accessibility> Display and make sure Reduce transparency is unchecked.
Restart the mac and see if the change has now been remembered.
Whilst looking in the ~/Library/Preferences folder have a look for any files that have a group
of alphanumeric characters after the .plist extension. If you find any these are most likely corrupt files
and should be moved to the Trash, empty the Trash, then restart your mac.

Uncheck the Reduce Transparency box and your Dock will be transparent.
Of course I unckecked that box, but the problem is that when I turn the Mac off and on again I find it checked again
OK done. Restarted the mac, it now seems to be working fine. Thanks so much!
