Hi outthere here is my script-stuff to create ownerdrawn menuitems with icons and colors. It uses GUIRegisterMsg() and WM_DRAWITEM / WM_MEASUREITEM - messages proceeding. Holger Update 06.05.2008: !!! Warning: Script breaking !!! Please change the following commands to: _TrayCreateItem(Text, ...) _TrayCreateMenu(Text , ...) - Fixed: some old values (thanks to aGorilla) - Fixed: ..SetText() functions (thanks to MrCreatoR) - Added the following commands: _SetMenuIconBkGrdColor(Color) ; set icon background gradient color _SetTrayIconBkGrdColor(Color) ; set icon background gradient color New sidebar menu commands: _CreateSideMenu(MenuID) ; returns a SideMenuID/index _DeleteSideMenu(SideMenuID) ; delete a menu sidebar _SetSideMenuText(SideMenuID, Text) ; set a text for the sidebar _SetSideMenuColor(SideMenuID, Color) ; set text color _SetSideMenuBkColor(SideMenuID, Color) ; set text background color _SetSideMenuBkGradColor(SideMenuID, Color) ; set text background gradient color _SetSideMenuImage(SideMenuID, Bitmapfile [, Resourcename/number [, Expand/Compress Bitmap]]) Just take a look into the samples how to use them! At the moment there are some known issues: - missing 64bit compatibility (already in progress, to fully work with "AutoIt3_x64.exe") - moving the mouse cursor on the sidebar menu image/text also changes the current menu item selection - for sidebar menu image only bitmaps are supported at the moment (min.8bpp) Update 23.03.2008: !!!
