10.5: Fix the transparent menu bar toggle in 10.5.2
Authored by: sbieniek on Feb 12, '08 10:01:10AM

17" PB G4, 1 GHz, 2GB of RAM

I don't see a toggle box in system preferences to disable menu transparency. I don't know if this is a situation where my machine simply won't support the feature in the first place, or what, but I just don't see the box.

Looking at the Macworld article discussing the ability to turn off transparency, I certainly never had a menu bar that was as transparent as the screen shot. However, I do have a slight transparent effect in the drop down menus themselves.

Thoughts?

10.5: Fix the transparent menu bar toggle in 10.5.2

Being one of three people in the world who loved transparent menus, the closest to the "old" Leopard that I got is by completely removing "EnvironmentVariables" key from this hint.
sudo defaults delete /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables'
It's not like original Leopard, but it's closer than what I had with upgrade to 10.5.2 (that is none). If anyone has an idea how to make menu bar as transparent as it was in 10.5.1, help us three out ;-).

I have a PB 12" 1.5 1.25GB of RAM, and I've also never had a transparent menu bar. I have a MacBook C2D and my menu bar is indeed transparent. Is the transparent menu bar for Intels only (possibly G5's as well)?

The option for controlling the transparent menu bar is located in the ScreenSaver/DeskTop Preference pane (in the desktop pane).
