Alternatively, is there a theme anyone knows of that will accomplish

The panel is transparent by default. Since true transparency is used,
you need composite enabled ("Desktop Effects" in System Settings.)

Exactly where is that setting? I've gone to System Settings> Desktop> Desktop
Effects and see four tabs General, Screen Edges, All Effects and Advanced. In All
Effects there is a translucency but there is nothing mentioned about composite
enabled.

If dektop effects is enabled, then the panel is transparent unless you
selected a plasma theme that isn't. You can test by moving a window
behind the panel (note that with "panel" I assume you mean the taskbar).
You should be able to still see it behind the panel.

If it's not transparent enough, I don't know of a way to increase the
transparency level.
