Now we're all just waiting for the follow-up hint on how to turn the menu bar opaque.

I hope it's coming, but so far, the best I've been able to do is to make the top 22 (I think that's the number) pixels of your desktop images solid white.

Lame, but it works.

The hint I'm *really* digging to find is the one to set the menus' opacity -- not the menu bar, but the menus themselves. So far, no luck, though I continue to scan strings output for various binaries.

Anybody know of any screenshots of the new menus? Or are they the same as in the last developer seed?

My copy of Leopard hasn't arrived yet, but this should work anyway:

It's a small app I whipped up, that places a borderless white window directly below the menu bar. No UI whatsoever. To get rid of it you will have to kill it using Activity Monitor or the command line.

No, it won't work (and I just tested it to be sure). This is what Peter Maurer's Non-Transparent Menu Bar did, too, but it too no longer works in the final version.

Too bad. I really hope, someone will find a working hack. (And maybe we should file a bug since the menu bar is supposed to be translucent, but apparently isn't ...)

Hi!
What does this script o and how can I revert? As noted, it doesn't tranlucency - but it adds a fat white line to the top of vm's full screen mode, making it inaccesible!
Please help!

how about a wallpaper with a 22px white strip at the top?
