[support] Using <front> for Path in a menu link

[Jamie Holly]

The color of links are all done in CSS. Using your browsers developer 
tools, inspect that element and see where it's getting the color from. 
Most likely it's from a :active or .active CSS rule.

The base Drupal menu rendering function does add class names to each 
item, based on their menu item id, so you can add a rule to just target 
that menu item (ie: menu-230 or whatever the ID is). That depends in a 
large part on your theme.

Basically this is just simple CSS/themeing. Not really sure what you 
mean by a "transparent view". You may be able to do something in views 
to change this, just like a surgeon could use a chainsaw to make an 
incision. It could work, but absolutely the wrong tool/technology for 
the job.
