I think you are right.

That is really a terrible effect to have the menu sitting at the top like that.

Not sure if there is a solution for that. Anyone?

What I can think up is to use an Activex Menu created in .Net (on my blog) instead of the native VFP menu or use an owner drawn class like Herman Tan's (ut downloads) or the Tab menu style found at VFPX.

I would prefer no menu with a skinned form anyway.
