As general rule of thumb I would say any app that displays your accent colour as a tile background on your app list will be transparent. Here are the apps I found to have transparent tiles. (I know some of these have been listed already :p)
Alarms (os app)
All in 1 Converter
Allpay (logo covers most of the tile)
Appfolder
Appsocial
Avirall Timesuite
Buses Due (somewhat transparent rectangle on small tile only)
Camera (OS apps)
Calendar (OS apps)
Calculator (OS apps)
Compass Delux
Cortana
Counter+
Crop n Resize
Device Shot

Flashlight X (Top corner - picture / logo takes up 90% of tile)
Flux Beta
FM Radio (os app)
Email hubs (linked or unlinked)

There is a separate app listing called "Maps" on my app list. Furthermore it has a different icon than "Here Maps", I'm presuming everyone has it and if not it perhaps it is just for Lumia devices only. Since I don't have an Ativ S or a HTC 8S / 8X I can't check.

Facebook doesn't have a transparent tile. Or the deactivating live tile deal didn't work for me.
