how to change opacity of netbook remix?

[mrgedman11]

Just installed ubuntu EEE, and i would like to make the menus more opaque to see more of the pretty background. I found what i think are the image files for the skin on usr, but there are a lot of instances of these ume-launcher skins. do i just make the immages more opaque? should i be using compiz? am relatively new, but have searched considerably for this...
