what happens if you set the item title to an NSAttributedString? You
can set the foreground and background colors of one, and that might

You can't do that, unfortunately, it seems the title has to be an
NSString.
And NSMenuItems don't have NSMenuItemCells either, so you can't set it
there either.
At first I was also flush with this possibility ... but then I read the
documentation and (more or less) came to the same conclusions. Since I
don't yet trust my understanding of Cocoa enough to judge, it is good to
have this confirmed by others on this list.
Summary: You can't set the string, but you can set an icon for each
item...
I have actually begun thinking along similar lines ... that if I can't
change the text color, at least I can associate an icon with each item
and -then- I can use whatever color I like.
Thank you all for your help!
