apPopupGen Index - 2. Additional Settings

purpose:

On this tab (number 2) you can set some text and color features used for the menu.

options:

Menu Colors

Here one can set colors for:

• Button background - Normal state
• Button background - Mouseover state
• Button Text - Normal state
• Button Text - Mouseover state

Colors are represented in hexadecimal values, of the format RRGGBB. The first two byte (RR) represent the red value. The same goes for GG (green) and BB (blue).
I found it cumbersome to calculate and figure out these values so, next to these values you will find a button to select colors form a colorselction-dialog.

Menu headertext preview

Will give you an idea what color combinations you have choosen. Click on this button to see the mouseover effect.

Font

Here you can select your favorite font to be used in the menubuttons. You can set font name, size and style (regular, bold, italic and bold-italic). When Checking the "Use systemfonts for menuitems", apPopupMenu will use the default menu-font as used by your system. If this is not checked, it will try to display the font you selected.

Tip: Do not use weird fonts, stick to common fonts like Helvetica, Arial, Veranda and Courier. Exotic fonts are not supported on some systems!

Statusbar-string

When a user moves over a button, this text will be displayed in the statusbar of the navigator.
You can also set here if, when moving over menu-items, the text (as seen in the menu) or the link should be displayed in the statusbar.
