Implementing transparent menus

[jens-maus]

@samo79 created the issue:

For the time being would be nice to enhance the current MUI4 preferences (for the popup menus and so on) in order to support also some nice transparent effects.

In an ideal world this functionality should be completely configurable as any other part of the framework.

In general AmigaOS4 support trasparences menus (and in other parts) since beginning and it is already configurable in many part of the system, MUI is the only "part" where we can't configure any of that transparence effects, implement it also in MUI could make the system a bit more graphically consistent

@tboeckel commented:

I admit that this is a resonable request, but this requires lots more work to be implemented. It isn't sufficient to modify the window's transparency, because that will modify the transparency of all window contents including the items' texts. Intuition just makes the background transparent and the items' texts will be drawn fully opaque.

Scheduling this feature for a future release.

Are there any hope that this feature will be implemented in a relative near future? :-)
