I am sure that the above code did not work. Menus use a standard style and color which is determined by reading the user preferred colors during Fl::args(argc, argv) or Fl_Window->show(argc, argv). There is no interface to change these. There is one exception though: if the menu is part of a Menu_Button or Choice, the new menu will inherit the button color and box style (except FLAT_BOX). I don't know why it is done that way, but the code says so: Fl_Menu.cxx:276 etc. Matthias PS: it's no secret that I am very unhappy with the FLTK1 menu code... _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
