To be honest, I prefer the first screenshot you posted [1], though I still
think a menubar with an opaque background rather than Aero glass would be
best.

Could you at least make the glow behind the menubar items more transparent
and wider?
Also, would it be possible to spread out the menubar items more, such as in
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0f/PaintDotNet-3.5-Screenshot.png
?
Lastly, compared to MS Office [2], the area of the titlebar and menubar
combined seems to be quite large. Would it be possible to decrease the
height of the menubar a bit?

The only limitation for the gradient is that it currently cannot be over the
