  • Color of Cascading Menu Indicator

    From Mole Cool@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 13 04:20:20 2023
    Hello, if you create a cascading menu entry, the indicator is black and if you hoover it will be white. For a dark Interface this is not perfect, I tested a lot, but is there a way to change this color, or bitmap?

    Sorry, but a lot of background information is needed here:

    - Platform
    - ttk ?
    - ttk theme ?

    You may also consider to look to present dark themes:
    - awdark
    https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/awthemes
    - rdbene
    https://github.com/rdbende

    Take care,
    Harald

    I use 8.6.9, and looked at the themed demos as well. You see always the cascading arrow in black/white. For every theme.
    I checked the c code as well, here something like activeBorder : bgBorder.
    But what is the active border for a menu? There is no border color for a menu, isn’t it?

    Thank you for responding!
    I look at this for a long period of time, but now I thought, this group has an idea.

    Thank you, Mole. What is your platform? Menus (at least toplevel menus)
    might be native on Windows/MacOS. There, you can not do anything.

    Menus are generally not themed.
    Using AWDark, you have a command to set the menu colors.
    Please look on:
    https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/awthemes
    and the command
    ::ttk::theme::awdark::setMenuColors

    Take care,
    Harald
