defaults write com.apple.dock style 2D
defaults write com.apple.menu opacity 100%

If they ever exist, we've got the winners already

Man.. open your mind a bit... Give 3Dock and Opaqubar a chance.

Besides, I'm sure there will be 3rd party add ons. Having a consistent user interface is an asset, especially when growing market share. Using 3rd parties to alter it is a perfect compromise.

"Having a consistent user interface is an asset"

Which is exactly why the dock should be 2D and the menu bar should be opaque (though, I actually don't mind the transparency in later builds). They're both <em>inconsistent</em> with the rest of the UI. Apple did a great job with the unified window look, so overall Leopard is an improvement, but the Dock is just ridiculously out of place.
