Menu color issue

Not really a bug, probably something related to the dark theme I'm using on windows .

I have white gradient menu, both program menus and tray menu are "affected". See attached pics.

It doesn't happen on the OS menus, so I guess it can be fixed.
Does it depends on what colors are picked by HDS to draw the menu?

[OS is windows 7 x64, HDS is v4.60]

Thanks for the images.
Yes, it seems that the dark theme is causing that some of the menu items are not too easy to read. Excuse me for that.
I'll check the possibilities, verify how the menu can be modified to also follow the settings and colors of the current dark theme, to make it better.

Thanks.
In case you need it, I attached how the right click menu looks, which is how menus are supposed to appear system wise.
Here's the link to the theme in case it's needed: http://solmiler.deviantart.com/art/Plac ... -188414149
FYI, those themes are not signed, so you can't load them on a vanilla OS asthey require some fiddling.

Thanks, I found a darker theme in clean Win7, where I can see similar issue, so I'm checking with that first ;)
Thanks for your attention !
Will let you know any updated version for testing when it'll be available.

If you have some time, please check this updated version:

This should have better, more readable menu items / backgrounds and also some other UI color fixes for the dark theme(s) used in general.

It is indedde much better than before, the only annoyance are the highlits/selections.

Here's an example of how a menu looks now:

A menu in Notepad++ appears like this:

Anyway, even if it's not perfect, it's stil la lot better than before, at least one can now read the whole menu items.
