Guest Ramm Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 That's not a hack. All it does is place a window behind the menubar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questionmark Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I've tried this program, doesn't want to work with spaces, you change to a new desktop and the window ends up being placed beneath the transparent menu bar instead of behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAddYE Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 It place a window under the menu bar? It only do that? It's strange, if is a windows trasparent will be always visible, u see my screen shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanson Britania Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The easiest thing to do is put a white bar along the top of your desktop background image (22px high - assuming the image size is a match of your resolution). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 That's not a hack. All it does is place a window behind the menubar. thats exactly what a hack is... a cheap solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 It doesn't "hack" the menubar (change it's construction). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 It doesn't "hack" the menubar (change it's construction). it doesnt matter what it changes, the end result is we get a solid looking menu bar, therefore its a (cheap) hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Not true. This is a fix. Ramm smells a vocabulary war emerging... At any rate, I think we should find a real alternative... however there are no GUI hacking tools for Leopard, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turpentine Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 i just had an idea. create a script that takes a picture of the dekstop background, opens it in an editor, adds the 22 (or 23) px background to the top, saves it to the desktop and sets it as the background.

Guest Ramm Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 It's 23 pixels. And I already did that, just using Photoshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazkid Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Mine is 22 px. I've been experimenting with different colored backgrounds, and I've found grey (actually, the color should be black, though it appears as a medium grey) works really well.

Guest Ramm Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 It's 23px counting the small white line directly underneath the menubar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazkid Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hmmm... I don't see that line, even when zoomed in all the way. I've tried 22px,23px, and plain, but I don't see it. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter. But the black does look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 It's 23px counting the small white line directly underneath the menubar. its 22px. guess you're wrong again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yes, it appears you're right. That "white line" i was referring to was just a strange illusion, from when a window is pressed right against the menubar. | And SG, you act as though it's a big deal. Yes, I was wrong, your point is? And technically, I wasn't wrong "again" because the first time, we were both right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
