argonlazer Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 As stated in the question When I tried the Red Apple theme everything changes apart from the menu bar That just stays the same colour. I was just wondering if this was related?

mercurysquad Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yeah, afaik you need hardware accelerated graphics for the menu bar to be translucent.

splits Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Try LeoColorBar. Lets you change the color of the menu bar to anything you want, but makes it solid (ie not translucent) google for it, easy to find.

argonlazer Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 When I open the app it says the menu bar colour is black, yet it isn't.

splits Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 very strange, worked for me :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/129065-do-i-need-qe-ci-to-change-the-colour-of-the-menu-bar/#findComment-916553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonlazer Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 When I log-out and the menu bar disappears I can see the colour embedded into the wallpaper. Must be to do with my lack of QE CI?

scj312 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Try LeoColorBar. Lets you change the color of the menu bar to anything you want, but makes it solid (ie not translucent) google for it, easy to find. This app adds a strip to the wallpaper which will obviously only work if you have a transparent menubar with QE and CI.

argonlazer Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 I thought as much. But then you'd think that if the Transparent menu bar wasn't enabled then the theme would work! aaargh. It spoils my red and black theme Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/129065-do-i-need-qe-ci-to-change-the-colour-of-the-menu-bar/#findComment-917002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
splits Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 My menu bar is not transparent at all, maybe this program just makes it appear that way. I apologize if I gave some misinformation Then again, I don't know very much about the GUI side of mac.

digitallysick Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 finally got mine working, it seems when i "replace" the files it wouldnt work, so i backed them up, deleted the originals, and then put the new files in place and it worked, but i do have QE and CI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/129065-do-i-need-qe-ci-to-change-the-colour-of-the-menu-bar/#findComment-937339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
