I don't think there is an easy fix for this (though hopefully others will know better!) but you might be able to make it so... The method that actually draws the menu items, Fl_Menu_Item::draw(...), is defined in Fl_Menu.cxx, so I guess it might be possible to derive your own Fl_Menu class (and maybe also Fl_Menu_Bar class and Fl_Menu_Item struct...) and then add in the ability to set the menu item background... Note that Fl_Menu_Item::draw(...) actually can cope with drawing different boxtypes and colours and so forth, but there's no way to "ask" for those features for regular menu items, it is meant for menu buttons and so forth... Though maybe you can do something with selection_color(); I wonder if that would work...? Um, probably not... Anyway; best bet is probably to hope that Sanel or someone knows a workaround for this!
