Menu - Background and foreground coloring

What is the simplest way to change the color of a
standard menu's foreground (text) and background
color?

Also, does Windows like it when I do this? Does it
require subclassing?

Owner Drawn menus courtesy of The Hand. And yes, it is subclassing.

I don't see nothing about changing the text color. Is that possible you reckon?

Try looking in the Private Sub useCustomFonts(aBoolean As Boolean) sub.

Further, you can change this line to another rgb color of your choice.

Code:

gMenuFontColor = RGB(118, 107, 209)

I will post a newer version sometime soon that works with multiple forms, MDI forms, and toolbars.

Its on my list of to-dos as part of the Forum Client articles.
