Seriously, I can't fathom why translucency is still being pushed -- for the menu bar and window sidebars.

It was a fad when Windows Vista introduced it. It's not useful at all. It should have disappeared when flat design was introduced, but inexplicably Apple still likes it?

There is no reason for my menu bar to be light blue or light pink or whatever other random color happens to be at the top of my wallpaper, especially when my windows cover up the wallpaper anyways.

It looks nice to me, I love the transparent sidebars especially.

Though I did also like the vista look when it come out.

I love transparency, it looked pretty trash in the vista aero theme because of all the gloss but now I feel like its realizing its true beauty.

I like it. And in general, I like skeumorphism in design.
