Ignore the fact that the module is named CMS, it is in fact for my menu system but I mutilated *cough* I mean edited this class into a module for you.
Please note, this is only going to affect scenes which are children of SDK::Scene_Base, which if you have latest SDK and you're using it correctly then all default scenes are children of SDK::Scene_Base
To have the Map show in the background of all menus, go to the bottom of the CMS class *cough* err module I mean, and change Show_Map.default = true
(NOTE: It'll still show black background if the scene isn't associated with SDK::Scene_Base and/or if there was a problem creating Spriteset_Map. If the alternative, no error will pop because I wrapped it in a begin/rescue clause.)
To have all windows transparent enough to show the map, again go to the bottom of the CMS module and set Opacity.default to 160 or whatever looks good.
(NOTE: This will only apply when windows are initialized, so if the opacity 'n stuff are changed later then it won't be what you set in this setting anymore.)

Alternatively, if you don't use SDK then somebody will really have to slave their ass off for you to edit all the default scenes for you
PS: Since I didn't test the edits of my system, then you can PM me if you have any troubles, but I'm hypothesizing it should work fine. Lastly, if you decide to share this with anybody later, then you need to change the code and unassociate the module as the "CMS" module, name it something else.
Enjoy!
