Check that those resources have transparency enabled in their layout.

DearJimmy

If you not use clause COLOR or STYLE 2007, 2010, 2013, 2015, Fivewin use Windows menus

hi,

to "modify" IMAGE to have COLOR_MENU is "just" a Workaround
i can get COLOR of Windows Theme COLOR_MENU "on-fly" ... what about STYLE 2007, 2010, 2013, 2015 how to "get" Color :?: ,

as you see i have try different IMAGE, also from Fivewin \BITMAP, but none of them work with "transparency"
so i guess transparency for MENU IMAGE is not include under Fivewin or what did i wrong :?:

FWH uses the pixel color at zero, zero to apply transparency and that may be the reason

Now, from Resources.

Use this rc file:
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
INDEX  BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\index.bmp"
OPEN2  BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\open.bmp"
SAVE   BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\save2.bmp"
CLOSE3 BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\close2.bmp"
EXIT   BITMAP "\fwh\bitmaps\16x16\exit2.bmp"
Modify the MyMenu() function in the above sample program like this:
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
function MyMenu()

   local oMenu

   MENU oMenu 2007
      MENUITEM "File"      RESOURCE "INDEX"
      MENU
         MENUITEM "Open"   RESOURCE "OPEN2"
         MENUITEM "Save"   RESOURCE "SAVE"
         MENUITEM "Close"  RESOURCE "CLOSE3"
         SEPARATOR
         MENUITEM "Exit"   RESOURCE "EXIT"
      ENDMENU
   ENDMENU

return oMenu
Result is exactly same as the above image in my last post.

Sometime back, Mr. Jimmy sent me some "no_dpi" bitmaps.
I tried with those bmp files in RC file:

This is the rc file:
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
ABOUTJ    10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\about.bmp"
CLEAN32   10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\clean32.bmp"
CLEANUP   10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\cleanup.bmp"
CLIPBOARD 10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\clipboard.bmp"
CLOUD     10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\cloud.bmp"
COLORS    10 "c:\jimmy\bitmaps\no_dpi\colors.bmp"
Revised MyMenu() function:
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
function MyMenu()

   local oMenu

   MENU oMenu 2007
      MENUITEM "File"      RESOURCE "INDEX"
      MENU
         MENUITEM "About"   RESOURCE "ABOUTJ"
         MENUITEM "Clean32" RESOURCE "CLEAN32"
         MENUITEM "CleanUp" RESOURCE "CLEANUP"
         MENUITEM "ClpBrd"  RESOURCE "CLIPBOARD"
         MENUITEM "Cloud"   RESOURCE "CLOUD"
         MENUITEM "Colors"  RESOURCE "COLORS"
      ENDMENU
   ENDMENU

return oMenu
I find no problem with transparency



Can you please send the bitmaps, with which you have problem of transparency?

hi,

thx for your work and Sample

as i can "see" you use a "Trick" to change Style to 2007, than it look much better

but how should a Newbie "know" this while Help File does not say it
without "Trick" it look like i say



so my Question : how to use this Technique when want "Dark-Mode" :?:

p.s. which Style can be used with MENU :?:
Help File does not say it

Jimmy

Thanks.

I used style 2007, because I always used that style, because I like it. In most samples I post here also you can find that style.

It is our duty to provide full support honestly and not to play tricks. I do my job with utmost sincerity.

After reading your post, I did find some issues with classical menu with no-style. I will fully study and come out with all the issues. FWH will fix wherever necessary.

i have look at those Office Style : NICE :!:

Question : is there a Way to "detect" OS Style and use it as Menu Style :?:
