I have a menu bar in a top level window as follows
menuBar = Menu(rootWin)
menuBar.add_command( label='Quit', command=rootWin.quit)
configMenu = Menu(menuBar, tearoff=0)
configMenu.add_command(label='Left Device Raw', command=setLeftRaw)
configMenu.add_command(label='Right Device Raw', command=setRightRaw)
etc
menuBar.add_cascade(label='Config', menu=configMenu)
rootWin.config(menu=menuBar)
Q1 Cannot find a way of changing the menu bars background colour. When
colour options are accepted they seem to be ignored. Is this a native look
and feel characteristic of write once run anywhere, not yet implemented or
possibly a bug.
Q2 Some of the menu options in the config menu will not always be available
depending on program state. How can individual items in such a menu be
turned to faint gey to indicate their unavailability. Also a tick mark
against an item would be useful to show the currently selected option. Is
this possible?
