Yosemite includes a new “reduce transparency” option in its Accessibility preference pane, aimed at addressing possible usability problems created by the OS’s new look.
I don’t have a disability, but I encountered those “possible" usability problems from the word go.
Enabling this option removes transparency nearly everywhere. The Dock, menu bar, toolbars, sidebars, context menus, sheets, Notification Center—all completely opaque.

Opaque Yosemite doesn’t look bad at all. It’s a little boring, perhaps, especially the Dock, but I can imagine almost anyone using it and being satisfied.

I’m gonna try it . . .

I think I like the “reduce transparency” effect.
