TMlSkinMenu

Notes

• Every form that needs skinned menus must carry one. It takes over the drawing of all TMainMenu and TPopupMenu components on that form — leave it out and the menus stay grey system menus.
• Menu_bk is the menu background, Menu_hilight the highlight bar, and separate properties supply the check mark, radio mark and submenu arrow.
• GlyphBarWidth is the width of the icon column on the left, while BorderWidth and BorderOffset adjust the menu border.

Example

  Font.Style = []
  HotFont.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
  HotFont.Color = clWhite
  HotFont.Height = -11
  HotFont.Name = 'Tahoma'
