Can the opacity of the task bar be changed?

There are so many things that look really bad on the iPad Mini but this is the worst.

Suggestions please.

Nope. You can't change that and you will likely never be able to.

Nope ... it changes based on the background. You can turn off all translucency in General -> Accessibility -> Increase Contrast - ON

Can the dock itself be made smaller? It looks huge on the Mini.

Nope, it cannot.

Nothing about the dock could be changed, except for the general background color that is based off of the wallpaper that is used on the home screen.

Apple would never allow such customization.

It doesn't matter what wallpaper I use, the dock is flat gray and nothing can be seen through it. Not sure what you mean about background color.

Open Settings --> General --> Accessibility --> Increased Contrast. Is it On (green) or off? If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on and then back off.

Your dock should change colors based on your background. If none of that works, restart your device. Use different colored wallpapers - blue, green, red, etc.. See if it changes.
