Another absent Translucent Menu Bar option
I read a few of the last threads regarding the inability to turn on or off the translucent menu bar option afforded by the 10.5.2 update... sort of.
I still am not comprehending the graphic specifications that either allow or disallow the ability to select or deselect the option. I liked the translucency of the menu bar. On my G5 iMac, the option is not here after installing the operating system and graphic updates, nor is the short-lived translucent menu bar.
Some people are noting that the checkbox isn't present but that after downloading and installing the combo update, that it appears. Worth a try if you don't mind another reboot.

-KGThe latest Leopard update, Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update , fixes that and you can now toggle between opaque and translucent in the System Preference/Desktop pane.

Translucent menu bar option gone from Preferences?
Finally upgraded to Leopard. Much to love so far. Was curious about the translucent menu bar so I went to Desktop preferences to check (uncheck?) that option but it wasn't there. Am I missing something? I thought this was an option in 10.5.2.

Yeah, probably one of the few people who want to see what a translucent menu bar looks like. . . .
Yeah, I took a look at it for a couple of minutes before I decided that anything other than a solid color background caused more distraction and made it harder for these eyes to see the text in the menu's. The busier the background, the worse it is for me. I went looking for hacks but they didn't work well with dual monitors, so I waited before installing Leopard to my other machines. Vista's tranparency is even worse and a real pain to turn off (and it uses over 30mb of ram), unless they fixed it with SP1 recently (waited over a year for SP1).
Apple fixed the problem for me with the option to turn it off in just 4 months
The family pack got used as soon as 10.5.2 came out. -
Where's Translucent Menu Bar Option?
Hey guys,
I have Leopard 10.5.4, and I have been told that, to turn off translucent menus (including the menu bar) you must go into Desktop and Screensaver in System Prefs to turn it on or off. Problem is, the option isn't even there! These transparent menus are bothersome, and I can't install certain haxies on my machine while the transparent menus are running.
Any help would be much appreciated.
benHi(Bonjour)!
I do not have transparent option in pref panel, but when I use this command in terminal, log-out and log in, I get the opaque menu bar. To revert to a transparent one, type 1 .
defaults write -g AppleEnableMenuBarTransparency 0

My mac has turned the menus white, safari see through, and my menu bar permanently translucent. What do i do?
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, then quit and relaunch Safari to test. -
Translucent Menu Bar still can't be disabled after 10.5.2 update
I was please that an option to turn off the translucent menu bar was included in the recent update. After updating my MacBook Pro I was able to uncheck the 'Translucent Menu Bar' option under 'Desktop & Screensaver'.
After updating my Mac Pro desktop to 10.5.2, this option is NOT available and my menu bar remains translucent. Is there really no way to turn off translucency on the Mac Pro?Pleased to see I'm not alone. The option to disable the translucent menu bar isn't available on my G4 iBook either. Everything is working well after the latest updates. I like my translucent menu bar so no worries.
No hacks, no changes, just not available. -
With the OS 10.5.5 update my menu bar has gone back to being transparent on my iMac PPC G5. On my MacBookPro I have an option under Preferences>Desktop to check (or uncheck) "Translucent Menu Bar". Not so with the iMac.
Is there a Terminal command for me to get rid of the translucent bar?Hi(Bonjour)!

This is an annoying interface glitch. The desktop & screen Saver system preference has the option "Translucent menu bar". I've got this option switched off, so the menu bar is now opaque. When I switch applications the menu bar sometimes flicks back to translucent for the duration of the switchover to the selected application. It's as if the system always defaults to translucent when it's rebuilding the target application's menu bar. If there's any delay in fetching the data it needs then I'll be treated to 2 or 3 seconds of translucent menu bar while it gets its act together.
I didn't delete Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver,plist.
I've just rebooted and the problem seems, so far, to have disappeared. It's a very clean/new install of Lion I've got so I'm surprised that it's playing up already.
Thanks again. Kevin. -
I have an iBook G4 1.33 which has a translucent menu bar but the option to en/disable it in my desktop system preferences is still missing after the 10.5.4 update.
I had a translucent menu bar before, and with the 10.5.4 update I still have a translucent menu bar, but NO option to turn it off under System Pref->Desktop.
Any info yet to fix this "known issue" for iBook?Was a combo large size update file used to go from
the previous 10.5 step, to the one you are at now?
If not, boot in SafeBoot, then repair disk permissions
and then download the Combo 10.5.x large file to get
you where the computer says you have it now, and
reinstall the last Combo file; right over the top.
And repair disk permissions again. That may do.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Changing the wallpaper upon waking from sleep glitches the translucent menu bar.
Hi.
This is a minor bug, but it's one that I'd still like to see fixed simply because I'm that picky
The problem, as the title states, is that I have my desktop background settings set to randomly change to another one of my wallpapers every hour and (I don't believe it does it when it changes while the computer is awake) when I wake my computer from sleep, during which time an hour has passed, the background changes to a different wallpaper, but the translucent menu bar still shows the top of the wallpaper that was just up.
My machine is a 2011 iMac. Thanks!If it's an encrypted network one thing that can work, try this, please ignore the exact symptoms and connection and Hardware types, it's worked for many others than the stated...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482
Otherwise you might use one of these two lines in Terminal to try to re-establish the connection after sleep...
sudo ipconfig set en1 BOOTP;sudo ipconfig set en1 DHCP
sudo ifconfig en1 down;sudo ifconfig en1 up -
Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Cindi B
PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here. -

Smart View menu bar option not showing in Word
Hello,
Recently had Smart View (11.1.2) installed on my PC. I can see the Smart View menu bar option in all office products except Word (2003). Any suggestions as to how to get this to show?
Thanks in advance.You need to ensure the COM add-in is enabled. File > Options > Add-in.
If it's not shown, you will need to manually add the add-in referencing the HsAddin.dll from the Smartview\bin directory. -
Changing Translucent Menu Bar Checkmark?
I'm relatively new to Applescript and Automator. I know enough Applescript to simplify some shell scripts I run occasionally, among other things. I know it's possible to change System Preference preferences, so how would I be able to toggle Menu Bar transparency via Applescript using the System Preferences checkbox in Desktop & Screensaver > Desktop ?
Any help is greatly appreciated!You must use [GUI Scripting|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html], since the System Preferences do not have AppleScript support. The script below should toggle the menu bar transparency.
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "View"
delay 0.5
tell menu 1
click menu item "Desktop & Screen Saver"
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell window "Desktop & Screen Saver"
tell tab group 1
tell group 1
click checkbox "Translucent Menu Bar"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
delay 0.5
keystroke "w" using command down
end tell
If you experiment any problem with the script, first try changing the delays from 0.5 to 1 second.
