So a UI question. I saw someone using CATIA and thier version of the model toolbar was transparent, just had the text not the white background. I was using it and it was incredibly smooth looking and less distracting than having the model toolbar intruding in.
Can I change this in Inventor to only display the text and not the background?

Dockable, Floating, Stackable - yes. Transparency, no.
Since there appears to be a drive to make all Autodesk products "look" the same (like the effort going into the Home Screen for over a year and it's still not right) it might be on the agenda, but don't hold your breath. (Note that AutoCAD "Palettes" have had a transparency for at least a decade, and Fusion's has only ever been transparent, standardisation suggests Inventor should follow suit.)

As a personal preference, I'd rather Autodesk did not spend any development effort on a transparent model browser. I'd hate to loose the high visual contrast between the current browser and the modeling area. Of course, I use 4k screens for all my CAD work, so I may have a different experience than others.
I'd rather see improvements to Model States, IPN files, or VDS and Inventor interactions and documentation.
