Ahhh, I think I see the difference now, looking at your screenshows. It looks like with your hardware, it's not only translucent, but it blurs what's behind it, too, which must use Core Image. I didn't know they used Core Image for that on supported hardware. I guess they do that for the menu bar, too, otherwise they would've made it translucent on all hardware.

Seems to me like Microsoft and Apple keep copying each other's worst ideas.
