Customising the Menu Bar

[jimriley]

I've managed to get a 65 page Menu Bar working really nicely - took a few hours, but it is really worth it!

Thinking out aloud here, but is it possible to customise the Menu Bar? For example add some icons, enlarge the font, change the background colour?

You can show icons in your menu using image lists. See Project > Menu Bar... > Image List.
I am not sure about changing the colors and font used in the menu, though.

Make certain you have the current version of AMS 7.1.1007.0

There were a couple of bug fixes on the menu icon - that may be your issue.

[Imagine Programming]

ahhah, that could be the problem... before the update i couldn't make icon menu's either

[Esfahan]

I have AMS 7.1.1000.0 it is Trail version
But I have AMS 6 registered

How do you make the icons image list file - I can't seem to find this in apms help file, I have adobe photoshop and lots of icons to use to make the bmp - but what are the icon specs and how does the apms know where one icon starts and another begins for that bmp file.

The Menu Bar is well explained in the help file. All it takes is to press F1 on the Project > Menu Bar dialog...
