Hi!

Is it possible to change the MenuTitle-Font and the MenuItems-Font?

Thanks, for the Help!

I'm afraid you're in for heavy lifting ahead if you really want to accomplish this, afaik there just isn't an easy way. If you'd like to take a kick at the cat, here's the relevant MSDN doc:

Here's a poor-mans version of changing menu fonts. You can do some optimizing by creating brushes for use during the various drawing stages. I was too lazy to that for you.

Also, take a look at the _PureBasic CodeArchiv website_ for code by Andreas.
