I have a menu bar in a top level window as follows menuBar = Menu(rootWin) menuBar.add_command( label='Quit', command=rootWin.quit)
configMenu = Menu(menuBar, tearoff=0) configMenu.add_command(label='Left Device Raw', command=setLeftRaw) configMenu.add_command(label='Right Device Raw', command=setRightRaw) etc menuBar.add_cascade(label='Config', menu=configMenu) rootWin.config(menu=menuBar) Q1 Cannot find a way of changing the menu bars background colour. When colour options are accepted they seem to be ignored. Is this a native look and feel characteristic of write once run anywhere, not yet implemented or possibly a bug. Q2 Some of the menu options in the config menu will not always be available depending on program state. How can individual items in such a menu be turned to faint gey to indicate their unavailability. Also a tick mark against an item would be useful to show the currently selected option. Is this possible? Regards, John Pote System: Win XP, Python 2.3.4 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
