I also have this problem. Where menus overlap they seem to invert the color and the rest of the menu is blue or green depending on who knows what. Whatever it is doing is very ugly. I normally use the Plastik style but Keramik also exhibits the same problem. Non-translucent menus are fine.
Selecting KControl->Style->Effects and setting the translucency type to XRender Blend instead of Software Blend or Software Tint makes the colors work right but then there seems to be some "ghosting" of the menus on my system when sliding across a menu bar with the mouse. The preview in KControl->Style shows the same defects as the actual menus (except for the "ghosting"). I'm running an S3 Savage in an IBM Thinkpad T22. OS is Sid last updated on 2004.06.10. The problem seems to have started with that update but I didn't make a list of what was updated (didn't notice the problem right away). -- -| Bob Hauck -| To Whom You Are Speaking -| http://www.haucks.org/
