It is very simple & looks elegant indeed.

Following are the steps on Zorin OS (I have tested on version 4 & 5, I hope it is correct for other versions)

1. Step 1
1. Right click on the panel at bottom & select 'Properties'
2. Click 'Background' tab
3. Select 'Solid color'
4. Change the style to select transparency as required
2. Step 2
1. Right click on the Desktop empty area & select 'Change Desktop Background'
2. Click 'Theme' tab
3. Click 'Customize'
4. Select 'Controls' tab
5. Click 'Zorin OS Mac'

Enjoy transparency :)
