Hello Scott,

I've tried those entries on several computers and the Save bar is grayed out successfully. Could you send me your complete INI file so that I can see what you are seeing?

Good work Scott.

Can you provide some examples of how you used RelabelTreeItems to make that happen?
I did not provide a screen shot with my sample code.  Your samples with your image would be great.

How about changing topic from "Some design questions" to "Menu Tree Colors?" to make it easier to find on forum in the future?

While the thread discussion was going on, I did a Google search and found a copy of the FLTK color table, showing all 256 colors (http://fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/functions.html#fl_show_colormap).  I spotted a color I liked for Green (100) and Blue (176) by counting across and down the chart.  Those looked nice, but after Ray posted his numbers I decided I liked the Green with his number (8257536) better.

I then adapted the code that Erika taught me a few days ago to contract the command tree items, throwing the relabel commands into the loop.  As so:
Code
Select All
var vList as String
var vCount as Int
var vLoop as Int
var vApp as String
var vDB as String
var vTemp as Int
Var vColor as Int

// Contracts and colors the Command Tree mode items
vApp = @Application
vList = @ListDatabases()
vCount = @CountStringArray(vList)
For vLoop = 1 to vCount
	vDB = @AccessStringArray(vList, vLoop)
	vTemp = @ContractTreeItem(vApp + "!Forms!Add Data!" + vDB)
	vColor = @RelabelTreeItem(vApp + "!Forms!Add Data!" + vDB, "@C8257536" + vDB)
	vTemp = @ContractTreeItem(vApp + "!Forms!Search/Update!" + vDB)
	vColor = @RelabelTreeItem(vApp + "!Forms!Search/Update!" + vDB, "@C176" + vDB)
Next
vTemp = @ContractTreeItem(vApp + "!Forms!Add Data!")
vTemp = @ContractTreeItem(vApp + "!Forms!Search/Update!")

This page: http://fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/functions.html#fl_show_colormap shows the FLTK color map (bottom of page).  There are 8 colors across and 32 down, for a total of 256 (black is zero).  Find a color you like, count across and down, do a bit of math and you have the number of the color for the @C attribute.

Hello Scott,

I may be wrong about this, and I'm sure Mark or Erika will chime in if I am, but I believe that we change the color table, so 176 in a different Sesame Application may not always be the blue that it is on your system.

We do indeed. We don't mess much with the colors below 256, but there are exceptions.

OK, good to know, I'll use the number Ray gave me for Blue.  Thanks.

Yup Scott figured that out and I'm looking at the source of Sesame to get it fixed.
