Leopard Translucent Menu Bar - Bad Idea!
John
problem is that it limits one from using ssome desktops like those blue in
color. If one selects a blue background the bar also turns a light blue and
just looks ugly. Apple should have included an option for the classic in
preferences.

Boy, I totally didn't see this one coming. ;-)
No wonder they dumped the tradition of a new blue wallpaper with each
release! (Oh, and because Vista's using photos now.)

I am sure there is probably some terminal commands that can be used to bring
back the old bar but why not have put a simple entry in Preferences.

well, you can't do that because of the UI rule of "consistency". but
plenty of 3rd parties will allow you to do it within a few weeks. just
hang tight.

I'm sorry but you know the rules! Questions Jobs or Apple is heresy! You
are out of the Church of Jobs. Everything Apple is the BESTEST EVER!!!! You
will BURN in hell for this transgression MR!!!!

Have not seen it in person, but from screen shots it seems to add *nothing*
of value but does add problems.

Apple is clearly trying to play with their UI in Leopard... and they blew it
in some ways. Hopefully it gets fixed in 10.5.x.

For some backgrounds such as the default it looks nice. Overall I am
still happy with Leopard and am VERY glad I upgraded.
Snit
Oh, I still plan on upgrading. It, like any big update, will have some
warts where either Apple will post a fix or I will find a work-around or
change my computing habits if needed. This is true if any major tool change
- a couple years ago I went from a 15 year old car to a (then) new one.
Same type car, but with changes - of course. Most for the better - a few
not.

WTF, Oxtard? Apple can do whatever the hell it wants. They could
allow you to make the menu bar opaque if they wanted, just like you
can change Aqua to graphite and change the minimize animation.
"Consistency?" Please.
