making transparent is really easy: just right click on tbe taskbar and select properties. Then on the background tab u can choose solid color and set transparency.

I'm not sure what do you mean effects clicking applications, places and system. What kin of effects? Or maybe just a different organization of the menus? For this you can try Sled or Gimmie (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=783575)

oh i see now

for that I believe you have to use compiz and enable desktop effects. If you haven't done it already install compiconfig-settings-manager from synaptic and adjust the opacity settings in system-preferences-compizconfig settings. It is in the general options -- opacity settings tab
