Transparency problem when displaying tab icons in main menu

[Lefteous]

When icons are displayed in Show/Custom view modes there is a transparency problem when highlithing the menu item. In this case there is no color defined for the view mode.

It's displayed correctly in the right click menu of tabs though.

Unfortunately that's something I cannot fix: I'm not using owner-drawing here, so I add the icons directly to the menu as checkmark icons (same for checked and unchecked). Windows does NOT support transparency in these icons when they are colored (only black+white), and does not support separate icons for line with cursor and line without.

The main menu uses owner-drawn menus and therefore doesn't have this problem. Switching the context menu to owner-drawn would cause all kinds of problems, someting I don't have the time to do, sorry.

Would it be easier to recreate the icons for use in the main menu?

[ghisler(Author)]

I could, but why should I do that?

[Lefteous]

In order to solve the mentioned transparency problem.

That wouldn't save the transparency problem, it would just show up in both places then.

I guess I just don't understand the technical implications. Maybe fix it when the context menu becomes owner-drawn as a long-term fix?
