The Menta theme comes with 3 different panel.rc files in
gtk-2.0/widgets folder.

-- panel.rc for light grey  panel background (default)
-- panel-dark-grey.rc for a dark grey panel background
-- panel-black.rc for a black panel background

You simply edit the gtk-2.0/gtkrc file to choose your
favorite background.
Example for choose a black panel background.
Edit those lines:

### EXTERNAL FILES ###
# This includes the file that handles the panels with a light grey background.
include "widgets/panel.rc"
# This includes the file that handles the panels with a dark grey background.
#include "widgets/panel-dark-grey.rc"
# This includes the file that handles the panels with a black background.
#include "widgets/panel-black.rc"

# Disable (comment out) for normal panel backgrounds or to get a transparancy panel.
#	bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "/Panel/panel-bg.png"
