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.
