April, I do not believe NSMenuItem's font color can be changed on Jaguar at all. May I point out that Shapeshifter is not supported or sanctioned by Apple... it is not really surprising that UI quirks would appear when you use it.


Thats kind of what I was thinking.

In short, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. If your app works on vanilla (Aqua) Mac OS X, you really don't need to worry, and there's not much you can do

Yeah works fine in Aqua, so it's not a huge issue, but anyway. What can I say though about using shapeshifter, I love the hard edges and sharp corners of NeXT, Afterstep etc...

anyway.

Actually I did want to mention this. I do not particularly care to change the color so much as to figure out why a programatically created menu item does not show up correctly.
What is happening is that I use Shapeshifter on my computer, and I run the NeXT Step theme for it. All menu items appear as white against the black menu bar except this one programatically created one. It's text remains black which makes it invisible. I know that this bug is a minor issue but I wonder if there is something I am missing that causes menu's to draw in hmm what is the correct method, XOR (fishing way back to my Orca pascal days)? Anyway, to draw in white on a dark menu bar and black on a light one.

How does one change the font color of an NSMenuItem. I need for this to be Jag and Panther compatible so I would imaging using attributed strings is out
