Warning

For the next command lines, you will be using sudo command that will affect the whole system. Next command lines will be harmless as long as they are correctly typed (but I suggested you to copy and paste them directly to your Terminal). If you want to play around with sudo command lines, do it for your own risk.

 

<H4 class=bigger>Menu Bar</H4>

Solid White Menu Bar

 

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables' -dict 'CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE' 1

Grayish Menu Bar

 

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables' -dict 'CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE' 0

Translucent Menu Bar

 

sudo defaults delete /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables'

<H4 class=bigger>Finder</H4>

Sidebar, Change Headings

 

cp /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/LocalizableCore.strings ~Open LocalizableCore.strings and search for SD5. Change the headings strings as you like; Don't forget to save. Then type into Terminal :

 

sudo cp ~/LocalizableCore.strings /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/killall Finder

Solid White Menu Bar

 

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables' -dict 'CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE' 1

Grayish Menu Bar

 

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables' -dict 'CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE' 0

In the above commands, try using a number between 0 and 1 like 0.62:

 

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables' -dict 'CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE' 0.62
