This patch does not seem right to me. I base this on my observations
of the behavior of the grafmenu, a smaple program of the Petzold 95.
This program creates a menu containing black and white bitmaps and here
is what it looks like:
* in Win95
- the normal display is black text on the regular gray background
- when an item is selected its background becomes white, the text
stays black
- except for the checkboxes which become white on the regular gray
background
* in win98
- same as Win95 when the window is active and the mouse is not over
the menu bar
- if the window is inactive then the black parts become dark gray,
i.e. it looks the same as if we had a regular menu
- when the mouse is over a menu bar item, there's a raised border
drawn around the bitmap (even if the window is inactive)
- when a menubar item is selected, there is a sunken border drwan
around it and, unlike in Win95, the background remains grey
- when a menu item is selected, it is highlighted like any other,
i.e. we have the dark blue background. But the bitmap is indeed
displayed kind of inverted. I get dark blue on white. And I also note
that the size of the menu item is calculated so that there is a 1 pixel
dark blue border above and below the bitmap.
This is pretty complex and differs from what we get in Wine (with or
without your patch).
I believe one of the problems in Wine lies in the calculation of the
item size: the sunken/raised border is overwritten by the bitmap so that
we don't see it. Then there's all the color and Win95 vs. Win98 aspects.
You can have a look at the URL below, it contains a screenshot of
grafmenu in Win95. I'll try to add other screenshots for Win98.
