Assuming you on a Mac OS, the translucency is controlled by the operating system.

See here: Monterey (Mac OS) change transparency 'My Computer My Way' (https://mcmw.abilitynet.org.uk/how-to-reduce-transparency-effects-in-macos-12-monterey?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Dynamic-Search-MCMW&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-Mun6bODgAMVf4lQBh3omQerEAAYASAAEgKpMvD_BwE)

I finally managed to locate the method,,,after a few hours searching about in the dark..

I just this month upgraded from a 2013 computer to a 2021 M1  iMac.. 

its been great for most things....the few inconveniences like being utterly distracted by those inane menu DECORATIONS... I could have done without.

Thank you.

Yes, there is a way to disable translucent drop-down menus in Photoshop. To do this, follow these steps:

Open Photoshop.
Go to Edit > Preferences > Interface.
In the Interface preferences, uncheck the Use Legacy Drop-Down Menus checkbox.
Click OK to save your changes.

Once you have disabled translucent drop-down menus, they will no longer be acceptable. They will instead be opaque, which may make them easier to see and use.

I got through that one more or less in tact...and then the  Head Mmovement  Aware CURSOR.....nearly drove me nuts ''there" for a few minutes
