When the panel is set to transparent, the menus do lookout of place. But if these are transparent, then they would be hard to read if an application is open. You can set them to translucent through Ubuntu Tweak, and it doesn't look right.

Ideally, I would like the menus to pick up on the colour of the background behind the menu and make the background the same colour, rather than set them to transparent/translucent.

Unity introduces a new look, but Indicators Menus, which were there before the Dash, are not yet up to date in that respect.
Obviously, there is no alpha for indicator menus, no way to set transparency in CCSM for them.
I'd like to have control over that as a power user, power user being the bridge between designers, developers and plain users.

the main reason i see for having transparent indicator menus is visual consistency:
finally, we'd have one unified look for all of Unity, of which Indicator Menus imo are a part.
