If you want to make your menu bar opaque just go to system preferences then desktop and at the botton turn it off! your guys are really dumb using those programs when there is a simpler way

OnyX will also change alot of stuff in your interface. Including the menubar transparency. And it’s free.

Tom, It’s because this article was written before that feature was added in the 10.5.2 update.

I’m not sure why you’d need to use OpaqueMenuBar when you can set it to non-translucent in Desktop & Screen Saver setting in your pref panel.

at least i know i can with Leopard.

The easiest way to fix that appearance issue with the apps stack is to right click on the stack and “Display as Folder”. Much cleaner, especially with a custom folder icon.

Did u realise that in leopard u can change the menu bar to opaque using system preferences?
Just open System Preferences, go into Desktop and Screensaver, and uncheck the box saying ‘Translucent Menu Bar’

DONE

If not, you’ll have to wait for a graphical client.

yea you can do lots more stuff to the dock… instead of changing the color, you can customize it by using a template, with designs and cool stuff. right now mine is the Matrix. http://www.leoparddocks.net lets you change it for free

I second HierarchicalDock. I like the QuickLook feature it has. And it seems a little more responsive – but that’s just my perception.

Opaque menu bar with an app? Now way. Do one of these, then reboot:

Gray Menu Bar

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

White Menu Bar

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

Translucent Menu Bar

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

Anthony: Displaperture doesn’t involve any hacking; it just shows a few pictures of corners that float above the menubar. They’re as harmless as contextual menus or Dashboard widgets.

I use HierarchicalDock instead of Quay. I had trouble getting Quay to work properly but HierarchicalDock just worked as expected, and it’s FREE!

I like the new dock and menu bar. I guess that I am in the minority? I do miss the rounded corners, but I am not hacking my system just to have rounded corners. I will be checking out Candy Bar though.
