How do I make the menubar 100% transparant

I have been googleing this question for some hours, and have not gotten anny consistant awnser. What i whould like is to make the menubar look like the one on the loginscreen as you go to sleep. if there is a folderpath for the soilidgray colour to make tranclusent or something along these lines.

I do not want to hide the menubar or make it black. just remove the bacground behind it. it must be posible since it is like that during login?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Even if you can turn on Translucent menu bar, it's a fixed amount. You can't control how transparent it is. Depending on how old your Mac is, that option may not be there at all. Older Macs with certain graphics cards weren't able to support that option, so no check box even appears for it.

That is just what clutters google searches regarding this question. My question is this: the code for the romoval of the menubar background is there - hence the loginscreen reference. tranclucent is okay, but not what I want.
