how to make menu bar fully transparent

[correctious]

Hi,

I wanted to make the menu bar on top of my Mac fully transparent, but unfortunately I can't seem to find the option for it. Is there any way to be able to do this? Thanks

I believe the answer is no. If it were yes, you would need to be very selective in suitable wallpaper - the icons would be liable to disappear into the wallpaper.

That would be the Holy Grail option for me. I've hunted pretty much everywhere for a possibility of making the menubar fully transparent. No luck. Now I just make sure that any wallpaper I use fades to black at the top so it effectively hides the menubar.

It's so disappointing that Apple refuses to allow for actual, full UI customization. For a brand that was originally so focused on being THE operating system for creatives, they sure don't like people being creative and making their computer their own.
