anybody know or found out how to get rid of the grey strip totally? Or set to completely transparent (not just translucent, but zero-visibility) and at the same time invert the icons and text to white?

The icons are images, so there really is no easy way to invert them short of replacing the source files.

No easy to use software allows you to do that. Sorry.

These are the only menubar hacks I know of, sorry:

Solid White Menu Bar

Code:

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables' -dict 'CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE' 1

Grayish Menu Bar

Code:

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables' -dict 'CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE' 0

Translucent Menu Bar

Code:

sudo defaults delete /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables'
