                <p class="">Thank you for the info. You have great
                  software.  You are right I can see the menu with the
                  in-window version. However, because the menu
                  background it somewhat transparent it makes it more
                  difficult to read. Granted I am a bit visually
                  impaired. <br class="">

                <p class="">Is there a way to make the menu background

                  Hi Eric,

                    is a current limitation of the Tk windowing toolkit
