	Feb 9 2008	DR MUDD Very useful! Leopard look much better without the messy, transparant menu bar (Version 2.1)		+1

	Dec 2 2007	SANTAB I don't know if this is related to Leopaque but sometimes but Spotlight bar is now underneath the menubar. You still see the lower end of it and if you open/close a couple of times it eventuallyreturns to the foreground. I don't really care but I got me a little confused when I saw it the first time happen. (Version 2.1)		+1

	Dec 1 2007	BOZO CLOWN Nice mini app which does what it says. Developer is very responsive to feedback. No more stars in my menubars! Yay! (Version 2.1)		+1

	Nov 19 2007	TDOMINEY Thank God! The "textured" look should be the default menu bar style in 10.5, IMO. Looks so much better. (Version 2.0.1)		+1

	Nov 18 2007	SANTAB thanks, that 2.0 looks like what I was hoping for. I was still with an earlier version so I might have missed that feature. Greetings from the macnemo forum :-) (Version 2.0b)		+1

CHRISB1 Gruss zurück - das mit dem Slider kann man evtl. noch optimieren, aber erst kommt noch eine zweite Beta, die einen kleinen Fehler ausmerzt.

Gruss aus Luzern ;-)

CHRISB1 We've not (yet) seen a possibility to do so by just manipulating an original system file.

AETNARIA You purchase and install the OS upgrade, Leopard. It's an OS thing, not an Intel thing.

I've old GeForce, and Tranlucid bar in previous Beta worked nice, and i cannot re-activate it ?

DOC RENAUD Grey like the top of windows, with exactly the same gradient. Beautiful !
(Version 1.2.1)

CHRISB1 RTFM SCNR ;-)
(Version 1.2.1)

	Nov 17 2007	SANTAB @ChrisB: Is this the macosxhints plist thing? A wrapper? If yes, you should enable 1 and 0 which supposedly offers the Tiger menu bar. (Version 1.2.1)		0

CHRISB1 Both options are available in Leopaque.

0 = Opacity Textured

1 = Opacity White
(Version 1.2.1)

Nov 17 2007

CHRISB1 By the way:

The Tiger menu bar is about 0.62 ;-)

We may implement this (a slider) in v2.0.
(Version 1.2.1)

Nov 17 2007

GANNET Eh? The Tiger menu bar is quite different, with a glossy finish rather than a grey gradient.
(Version 1.2.1)

	Nov 17 2007	DOC RENAUD A big thank you ! (Version 1.2)		+1

	Nov 16 2007	NORAA Works as advertised! Still debating whether I like the translucent menubar or not - but at least I now have the option to go back to the ol' tried and true solid white one! (Version 1.1)		0

	Nov 16 2007	STONEVIL I love my Leopard translucency menubar. so I never use this app! :) (Version 1.1)		0

	Nov 16 2007	GANNET Can you make the value adjustable with a slider or something? Also, since you have to restart with every change, could you show a pic or two of what the opaque menu bar looks like? (Version 1.1)		0

CHRISB1 We may implement a slider in v2.0 (later this year).

A previev is now avialable in the ReadMe file in v1.2.1.
(Version 1.2.1)

	Nov 16 2007	ERICOB Now, if someone could just figure a way to kill the transparency of drop-down and pop-up menus! (or clue me in to the trick, if there is one). I just hate the way whatever at the moment is behind a menu subtly bleeds through and degrades both the readability and the integrity of the menu. Yuck. (Version 1.0)		0

ARROYODORADO Exactly! Well said! That's why I switched back to Tiger again. Well, one of many. Too much eye-candy, not much real news. At least IMHO.
(Version 1.2)

	Nov 16 2007	CARLOS85 The Restore option did not work on my MacBook with 10.5.1. The menu bar returns to its grayish color, but is no longer translucent. (Version 1.0)		0
