Joe, if you're using Leopard, the menu bar (the bar at the top of the screen
with the apple, File, Edit, etc..menus on it) is translucent. Just change
your desktop background to see the effect.

Perhaps there are some settings you have changed for your desktop to help
you with your vision which may have made it solid. If you did make changes,
and your menu bar is solid, do you remember what they were?

Stephen, no, not font smoothing. Try this. Open up a Finder window and place
it directly under a menu item in the menu bar. Then click on the menu item
and the subsequent drop down menu is somewhat transparent and blurred with
the Finder window below. I just wanted to be able to turn this effect off.
