10.5: Get rid of the translucent menu bar
Authored by: kyngchaos on Thu, Nov 15 2007 at 3:23PM PST

I believe the menus always had a slight transparency on them. But, yes, they are more transparent in Leopard, and now have the blur effect (which I quite like).

What would be really nice would be to change the transparency amount, on both the menubar and the menus. (I like the menubar transparency also, except that it's too much)

Yes, 10.4 menus are slightly translucent

Black and white background (defined in my monitor's color space) creates a menu background of (230/241 or 227/237, the menus are slightly pin-striped) as expressed in sRGB.
