    System Preferences lets you turn off transparency of the Menu Bar, but if you want it to be slightly less transparent or more, unfortunately that's not available through System Preferences.

    There are third party free customizations for the dock, I unfortunately don't remember where it is :p.

    macthemes is great place for GUI customization.

    there is a new app coming out soon called Facade that should really make gui customization interesting.
