You need too enabled compositor for this

I'm not sure about the compositor you're talking about, do you mean the compositor for the whole desktop ? I did enable it already, as you can see on the picture.

Yes, you need compositor, what you have enabled, and set transparency background as describe the guideline in links you can hide the menu too.
