Q: Mavericks translucent menu bar problem

I was running Mavericks on my Retina MacBook Pro 15" mid 2012 with lots of different issues, from weird behaviour in some programs to total system crashes. So I decided to reinstall Mavericks from scratch, since I had upgraded over Mountain Lion. It was a good idea, most of my problemas are gone, but now I have a very annoying one: every time I boot up and logon, my menu bar looks bad. Dark gray and the Apple logo for the menu is missing.

So to fix this I was changing the resolution of my screen and then of course change it back to the one I want to use:

I use the 4th option so I change it to the last one (More Space) and the menu bar is fixed. I then chage it back and all looks good.

 

I found in a website someone saying tht I should delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and restart, but it didn't help. In that same website the guy said we should then untick the "Translucent Menu Bar" under "Desktops & Screensavers" and THAT solved the problem.

 

But that's is not really a solution since I want to use the "Translucent Menu Bar".

 

Any thoughts?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)
