    Navigate to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/LeopardUI.bundle/Contents/Recipes/menubar.xml

    1. Open menubar.xml in PropertyList Viewer
    2. Open Root>subnodes>

    Look at all the different settings! Can someone try changing these and see what happens? I'm at work running Tiger, so I can't try it but, I figured the sooner I get this info out there, the sooner people can start modifying stuff. Lemme know what happens. I wanna try this out!

    I spent about five hours last night changing every opacity setting in that list to 1.00000, and nothing worked.

    I have a thread further down (might be on page 2 now) about this. So far, none of the changes I made in those files were reflected when I restarted. I think the real meat of the UI is in the SArtFile.bin and ArtFile.bin files in the CoreUI.framework resources directory.

    I think I know which one you're talking about, and I actually tried once on Tiger. It's a cheap knock-off that doesn't mimic the true Leopard menu bar.
