   I have the same problem. Updated to 10.5.2 on my PPC G4 and I have no option in Desktop and Screensaver to enable the transparent menu bar. There is no checkbox whatsoever below Random Order. February 12th, 2008 at 7:23 pm

   Try out this: http://www.mactips.org/archives/2008/02/12/no-translucent-menu-bar-toggle/. However I doubt it will, I don't think older machines are able to the special effect at all. February 12th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
