sub menu arrows

Tuesday, June 15, 2004 by SelfExiled | Discussion: Skinning

Does anyone know how to change the color of the small sub menu arrows in the menu's or start menu? Mine is always black. Thanks.

I think you're referring to the "Pull Down Item Extras" located under Controls, Menus in SkinStudio. Check a skin like Cyrix or my Ascension for a closer look.

Just in case anyone else is looking for Ascension, it's at the GUIOlympics. Nice WBSkin BTW

Yeah, I thought it was the pull down extra items, but those aren't available in v4.2. Thanks for your help.

I don't remember how far back, skinning the pull down extras became available, I only wish there was a default image included in SKS, along with one for the Minimized Window Caption so that I could see what it was I was trying to skin.

Hmm, those work for the pull down menus, but they don't work for the start menu. I don't mind the look of those arrows, but are we stuck with black? (The arrows in the all programs menu's) Thanks in advance.

I am working on a darker theme now and I plan a even darker one next. The black arrows makes it nearly impossible to know where a sub menu exists in the start menu. I notice that the text below internet and email are black too. I guess the black submenu arrows and the black text in the start menu share the same color attributes. But, is there a setting to change them?
