One thing I don't like is over-using translucent.
So this is what people mentioned here and there and what I can image:
1. Menu bar: no translucent.
The screenshot of Leopard's menu bar is pretty bad.
Black menu text and icon with translucent menu bar don't mix well
with dark desktop background.
2. Dock (Tabbed shelf in future): background translucent, foreground opaque.
This requires GNUstep to support 32-bit window.
3. Active (focused) window: opaque.
4. Inactive (unfocused) window: 90% opaque.
How about floating panel of active application ?
5. Busy window: 60% (?) opaque.
I personally don't like translucent window title bar as Window Vista.
It looks messy.
