I use the programming below to move from a "main menu" into various files in my application.  (The programming was originally supplied by Bill Halpern when I first got into Sesame)

It works fine, but I was wondering if I can change the appearance of the menu that appears.  Right now, the title of the menu has a dark green background with black lettering.  This makes it difficult to read the title.  Also, is there any way to increase the size of the font of the displayed info?





var vButton as string
var vMenu as INT



     PopupSelectPosition(4, @XPos(ThisElement)+80, @YPos(ThisElement))
     vButton = @PopupMenu("1. Search\\Update;2. Add", "MODE FOR CUSTOMER INFO")

     If vButton = "1. Search\Update"
     {
           vMenu = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Search/Update!Customer!Customer")
     }
     Else
     If vButton = "2. Add"
     {
           vMenu = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Add Data!Customer!Customer")
     }

I'm using version 2.5.2.

The contents of the .ini file are below.

Hello

I am not sure why given the entries in your ini file that you are getting black text on dark green for the header. Do you have another computer that you could try the program on and see if it gives you the same colors?

To make the font larger replace your sesame.ini file with the one below.

// SESAME.INI FILE. ONLY LINES THAT START ON THE LEFT MARGIN, WITHOUT //, ARE ACTIVE.
