yoyo52 Nothing comes of nothing. Registered: 05/25/01 Posts: 30520 Loc: PA, USA	Got the new MBP and am loving it. However, I want to get rid of the translucent menu bar and I forget how to do it. Anyone remember? Also, while I'm asking--for some reason I can't get rid of the Documents and Applications icons from the Dock--any ideas? _________________________ MACTECH ubi dolor ibi digitus

System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop > Translucent Menu Bar (check box at bottom of window) That's in 10.5.8 Edited by drjohn (12/09/09 05:56 AM) Edit Reason: addition _________________________ Old farts, the hidden caulk of civilization.

I have worried and fretted about my old 20 inch iMac for many months because the menu bar looked 'muddied' with the blue of my desktop color! I just went in and turned off Translucent Menu Bar! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. It's the simple things in life . . . . _________________________
