W2K menus are buttons

Wednesday, June 27, 2001 by Teilo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I'm sure this has been asked about before.
But is there any way to make W2K menus in Explore, IE, and other apps appear as menus instead of as buttons in WindowBlinds? Some apps look right. Others do not. I find it irritating.

I don't believe there is, it's just the way Microsoft chose to use the control on those particular apps. If it's any consolation, I imagine it will be more standard affair to do it that way in the future.

Question for Neil:
Would it not be possible for WB to detect whether it it is drawing a "button" on the menu toolbar in the major MS products, namely: IE. I noticed that Office seems to use a different class of menubutton altogether, (just an observation of the fact that office menubuttons are never skinned).

Just a shot in the dark.
