I Hate Transperency

I hate transparency. Only recently, though. I used to love it.
And Mac OS X is littered with it. It’s everywhere - in the Dock, in Terminal, in Dashboard, etc.
At one point, you could see about 5 layers of transparency at once on my screen, like this:
An example of multiple layers of transparency on my desktop.
Yup, pretty ridiculous.
But recently, I’ve decided that I hate transparency.
Sure it’s pretty, but I realized that transperency is the difference between easy-to-read and hard-to-read; the difference between strain on my eyes and beautiful text. So I turned off transparency in every place I could, and I encourage you to do it to.
