<p class="">Hi Eric,</p>
<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>
<p class="">Is there a way to make the menu background
nontransparent? <br class="">
</p>
<p class="">Thanks for your time and help. <br class="">
</p>
<p class="">Eric<br class="">

Hi Eric,
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>This
is a current limitation of the Tk windowing toolkit
that Chimera uses. Perhaps future versions of the
toolkit will fix this, but for now that's the way it
is. Your two options are:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>1) Don't
use dark mode when using Chimera. That might be a

<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>2) Use

<div class="">Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
Chimera is great. However in the
latest download for the Mac, I can
no longer see the menus when in Dark
Mode on my Macbook Pro using Mojave.<br
class="">
<br class="">
In the attached file you can see the
the transparent background of the
menu drop down list makes it even
harder.<br class="">
<br class="">
Is there a solution to adjust the
menu text and background color and
making the menu background opaque?<br
class="">
<br class="">
Thank you for your help.<br class="">
<br class="">
Eric<br class="">
