Anyone know how to do this? I already know how to set the background color.

Here is code for a partially colored window and menu. But I want the borders and back ground and stuff to change, too:

Code: Select all

#MIM_BACKGROUND = 2               ; applies to menubar background
#MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS = $80000000  ; applies to submenu items

Structure myMENUINFO
  cbSize.l
  fMask.l
  dwStyle.l
  cyMax.l
  hbrBack.l
  dwContextHelpID.l
  dwMenuData.l
EndStructure

hwnd=OpenWindow(0, 200, 200, 400, 300, #PB_Window_SystemMenu+#PB_Window_Sizegadget, "Menu Image Background")

brus=CreateSolidBrush_(RGB(64,64,64))

SetClassLong_(WindowID(),#GCL_HBRBACKGROUND,brus)

hMenu = CreateMenu(0, WindowID())
MenuTitle("Title 1")
MenuItem(1, "Item Number 1" + Chr(9) + "Ctrl+1")
MenuItem(2, "Item Number 2" + Chr(9) + "Ctrl+2")
MenuItem(3, "Item Number 3" + Chr(9) + "Ctrl+3")
MenuItem(4, "Item Number 4" + Chr(9) + "Ctrl+4")
MenuTitle("Title 2")
MenuItem(5, "Item Number 5" + Chr(9) + "Ctrl+5")
MenuItem(6, "Item Number 6" + Chr(9) + "Ctrl+6")
MenuItem(7, "Item Number 7" + Chr(9) + "Ctrl+7")
MenuItem(8, "Item Number 8" + Chr(9) + "Ctrl+8")

rect.rect
rect\left=0
rect\top=0
rect\right=200
rect\bottom=200

myMenu.myMENUINFO
myMenu\cbSize=SizeOf(myMENUINFO)
myMenu\fMask=#MIM_BACKGROUND+#MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS
myMenu\hbrBack=brus

SetMenuInfo_(hMenu, myMenu)
SetMenu_(WindowID(),hMenu)

Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow

I didn't ask how to change the system colors, I asked how to change the colors for ONE window.
