Frankly, the red drop-down menu of the Combo-Box looked foul! I did try this out on a Mac (I work with Macintosh and Ubuntu Linux).
However, I would never use a fancified drop-down menu like that as it would only serve to confuse and/or turn-off end-users: http://www.useit.com/papers/heuristic/heuristic_list.html and, if you really want to wade through some aspects of user-interface design in Runtime Revolution you can download my MSc thesis on,largely, that subject, and its practical implementation at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RRRThesis/ (under FILES) I know that Apple have a set of 'Human Interface Guidelines', which they seem quite good at breaking. I would suppose that Microsoft go in for the same type of thing. I would also suppose that the reason why one cannot implement a fancy-coloured Combo BOx as per your search is because the good folk at RR Central realised that as it ran counter to almost all useability considerations it was hardly worth bothering about. Mind you, I don't know,so why don't you ask them directly. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
