I'm curious, does anybody really use the translucent menu bar feature in Leopard? I don't, and without it, the menu bar looks rather black and white (i.e. ugly). Is there anyway to patch Tiger's menu bar into Leopard? I miss the blue Apple and the two-tone effect.
Got a tip for us?

.I love my translucent menu bar! Doesn't cut off the background image anymore, and makes the whole desktop a lot more fluid and aesthetic. What's not to love?
Now if only the drop-down menus were translucent again... 🙁

I have to agree that translucent is the way to go. Computers need to start looking more futuristic. (Although I think it should be a full blown option because I know not everyone likes it)
I use translucent. I even did the hack that brings back the more translucent bar/menus from 10.5.0. It looks great and doesn't reduce legibility at all.

Translucent all the way. Leopard opaque is just ugly! Too bad for PowerPC owners - that's bad on Apple's part.

yep i used that hack but then then you cant get the 10.5.2 opaque menu bar but it doesnt bother me that much.
the hack is here (not for the faint hearted)
