Hi DigitalKitty,

Background does change the background of the menu drop-downs, but you have to use it to configure the buttons you wish to change.

$file_mb->command(-label=>'Exit',
      -background => 'purple',
      -activebackground =>'magenta',
      -command=>sub{$main->destroy});

This doesn't change either the tear-off widget or the separator widget, and I have not ever had luck getting these to look the way I like.

Maybe one of the other monks can provide a better answer for you - I'd be interested to know as well. I probably need to spend some quality time with Tk/Menubutton.pm to see what is actually happening, this is something I'd like to be able to customize as well.

Good luck,

P.S. For just learning Perl/Tk this code looks good - keep it up!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
