You have a FAQ on retrieving Windows properties, did you explore the possibilty to change them?

Regarding shortcut menu appearance: try to search by Hiten (don't remember his last name), he had a long thread regarding Shortcut menus...

>Exactly as I was afraid about. I did used that for shortcut menus and seems that worked. System menu, indeed, is completely another story. I guess it could be changed using some Windows API functions and Windows events, however, this is completely another story.

>>I've tried to change the appearance of menu settings, but have been unsuccessfull. It seems that the font, color, etc. commands have been ignored since windows 3.1.

>>excerpt from Hackers Guide:

>>The FONT and STYLE clauses at each level were added in VFP 3. These clauses let you decide what font to use when you're not working with the system menu. The system menu picks up its font settings from the Registry and ignores any fonts you specify.

>>>Take a look to the help on DEFINE BAR and DEFINE PAD commands. They have some formatting keywords. However, I'm not sure it will work for the main window menu because it is depended on the Windows settings (Control Panel, Display, Appearance tab).
