Check that those resources have transparency enabled in their layout.

DearJimmy
If you not use clause COLOR or STYLE 2007, 2010, 2013, 2015, Fivewin use Windows menus

hi,
to "modify" IMAGE to have COLOR_MENU is "just" a Workaround
i can get COLOR of Windows Theme COLOR_MENU "on-fly" ... what about STYLE 2007, 2010, 2013, 2015 how to "get" Color ,
as you see i have try different IMAGE, also from Fivewin \BITMAP, but none of them work with "transparency"
so i guess transparency for MENU IMAGE is not include under Fivewin or what did i wrong

FWH uses the pixel color at zero, zero to apply transparency and that may be the reason

Sometime back, Mr. Jimmy sent me some "no_dpi" bitmaps.
I tried with those bmp files in RC file:
This is the rc file:
Revised MyMenu() function:

Can you please send the bitmaps, with which you have problem of transparency?

hi,
thx for your work and Sample
as i can "see" you use a "Trick" to change Style to 2007, than it look much better
but how should a Newbie "know" this while Help File does not say it
without "Trick" it look like i say
so my Question : how to use this Technique when want "Dark-Mode"
p.s. which Style can be used with MENU
Help File does not say it

Thanks.
I used style 2007, because I always used that style, because I like it. In most samples I post here also you can find that style.
It is our duty to provide full support honestly and not to play tricks. I do my job with utmost sincerity.
After reading your post, I did find some issues with classical menu with no-style. I will fully study and come out with all the issues. FWH will fix wherever necessary.

hi,
i have look at those Office Style : NICE
Question : is there a Way to "detect" OS Style and use it as Menu Style
those Office Style are identical with OS Style when they have released
Offtopic : does those Office Style also work on other Fivewin Control
