After hearing about the hideous menubar and how everyone hates it. I wasn’t looking forward to it, yet I would deal with. So I decided to do a clean install of leopard on my 12in powerbook G4, and to my surprise no transparent menubar.

Take a look at the pic below, and no I didn’t use that menubar hack, apparently the menubar changes based on your video card. So since I have an older Mac, my video card probably can’t handle the the transparent effects. Check out the Apple discussions for more info on this.
