I've just started using DisplayFusion and have a question about the SystemTray icon menu. It looks like it is not using the standard Windows menu colours from my theme, and is instead using the Window Background colour for the menu background, the Menu Text colour for the menu text, and some unknown colour for the menu highlight.
Is there anyway to make it use the standard menu colours?
A few other programs do similar things on their menus, which, with my current setup, makes all the menu text invisible until I highlight it.
Which version of Windows are you using, and what customizations have you done? I'd like to try and replicate your setup here. Are you using any customization software, like WindowBlinds, or is it just custom colours in the control panel?

Hi
This is Windows XP. I'm running ObjectDock 2.0 Plus, but that doesn't affect the menus (I have turned it off just to verify this!). No other customisation stuff is running.
All I have done is Control Panel/Display/Appearance and changed the menu background colour, the selected items foreground and background colours.
On the previous stage (Control Panel/Display) I have Windows and Buttons as Windows Classic Style (again, changing this to Windows XP Style has not made DisplayFusion use the menu colour), and Color Scheme as Windows Standard.
Cheers

Brilliant. That works a treat. Thanks a lot.

Me again!
Beta 6 has sort of undone this change. It now displays using the same colours as in my first screenshot above, except using a sensible text colour for non-selected items, whereas Beta 3 displayed a menu more like the second screenshot above (which I would consider more correct, since those are the colours I have selected for my menus)

OK, thanks, but no worries. This version is at least legible, as the text colour is correct for whatever scheme it is using.
