[Wordpress issuses] nataliagill on "menu bar and submenus transparent"

This should do it for you although submenu items may well become unreadable when they extend down over page/post titles or text.

#access {
background: none
}

#access li:hover > a, #access a:focus {
background: none;
}

#access ul ul {
box-shadow: none;
}

#access ul ul a {
background: none;
border-bottom: none;
}

You will also have to change the non-hover menu text color.

#access a {
color: #EEEEEE;
}
