One of the Chief complaints in the latest version of Apple’s famed Operating System, Leopard has been the 3D Dock and the Translucent Menu Bar . There have been hacks flying left and right and this is the latest one that gives you a Menu Bar similar to the one we saw in Tiger. Follow the instructions carefully or you could end up messing your Leopard install. Backup before you proceed..
Edit the following file:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer.plist

<string>0.62</string>
</dict>
Save the file and restart your Mac and you should now be seeing the kind of Menu Bar that you have grown used to. The original tip from Steve Miner suggests a setting of ’1′; this results in an old-school pure white menu bar, incase you set it as “0″ you get a dark gray Menu Bar. All values in between “0″ and “1″ give you varying shades of gray.
