    Ooh.. nice find!



    It sounds a little generic though.. I wonder if it won't affect things other than the menubar, for instance in apps that use transparency.



    Is it reversed by putting in a 0 instead of the 1?

    haha.. i like the



    WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss

    or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your

    typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.



    that pops up.. if my computer breaks, i'm blaming it on you.



    doesn't seem to work for me. can you post a screen of what its supposed to be like?



    oh wait, it turns the menubar, not the dropdown menus a solid color. wahh, i want it to turn back. and replacing it with a 0 isn't helping..



    to undo it, you have to put sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables' -dict 'CI_BACKGROUND_IMAGE' 1 then restart
