I was kind of surprised to see that the MainMenu control doesn't change colour when you change the colour of your form. And there is no "color" property for the MainMenu, so you can't set it manually.
Has anyone found a way to put a little colour into the MainMenu? :confused:
Did you try changing to Owner Draw ? you can use that to colorize your menu items .Quote:

Could anyone point me in the right direction for some good Owner Draw tutorials?
What the heck is Owner Draw? :confused:
Cool stuff. I'm playing with it now, but i don't see any way to apply this to a MainMenu. Hopefully i can figure something out. Or if you have any tips, let me know.
here's one of many posts about menu owner draw :
I tried and tired to figure out a way to make the MainMenu into "OwnerDraw" so i could colour it, but nothing i tried worked. :(
So i downloaded the MagicMenu. It's pretty sweet, and it's got all the bells and whistles you could ask for. It's a bugger to get all set up though. And i'll have to deploy it with any project i make using it, but i guess that's the price you have to pay if you want the cool stuff. :)
Try using the XPMenuItem objec that I created. It has the look of the menuitems in Office XP and Visual Studio .NET.

it means the program creates the menu instead of asking windows toQuote:
