Ubuntu 13.04 64bit Gnome 3.8.3
I have searched on google how to make the metacity theme transparent and everything I have tried has not worked. Is this even possible? If not, are there any alternatives to have transparent window bars?

I would like to make it about the same level of transparency as the bar at the top
Sorry for massive picture, I have no idea how to change the size.

Hello and Welcome

You may want to test this extension.

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/684/transparent-windows/

WARNING: Source:https://github.com/saysilence/transparentwindows

This extension may break anything else that changes opacity.
Having many transparent windows may and probably will kill your performance. You may expiriance lag while dragging windows around. It all depends on your hardware tho.
