Problem

Solutions: Enhancement:
A user requested that WordPerfect 5.1 include the capability to change the display colors for the Menu Bar and Pull-Down Menus in WordPerfect 5.1.

Answer:
Users can do this in WordPerfect 5.1 with the Menu Setup feature (Alt-F1, D, M). The Menu Bar is displayed at the top of the screen when Alt-= is pressed. The pull-down menus are displayed when users choose a Menu Bar option. The display settings for both are divided into two parts: Letter Display and Text. The Letter Display setting is for the single letter that users press to choose the menu option. The Text setting affects the other characters.

The Menu Bar and pull-down menus use the same display colors as the size and attribute selections (Shift-F1, D, C, S). Users must be familiar with the size and attribute display colors to choose the colors for menus. The screen colors for a size or attribute consist of two parts: Foreground and Background. The Foreground color is the color of the actual characters, while the Background color is the color that surrounds the characters.

To change the display for the Menu Bar or pull-down menus, users can select a new size or attribute at the Menu Options Setup screen (Alt-F1, D, M). A size or attribute must be selected for both the Letter Display and Text lines. Users would probably want the Letter Display to be in a contrasting color. If there is not a current selection of colors that users are comfortable with, they may change a color of a certain size or attribute by modifying the Colors/Fonts/Attributes selection in Setup (Shift-F1, D, C, S).
