White Menu Bar in Leopard
I’ve seen some complaints on various blogs about the new translucent menu bar in Mac OS 10.5. I’m not too crazy about it either, so I figured out a simple way to make the menu bar white again:
1. Open or create a desktop picture in Photoshop (or any other image editor) at the exact size of your desktop (my MacBook Pro is 1440 × 900).
2. Draw a solid white rectangle at the top of the image 22 pixels tall.
3. Save and install.
(P.S. Looking around the ‘net briefly after posting, I was not surprised to learn that I was not the first to think of doing something like this. Still, works great.)
