Disabled icons

[Terry Foster]

How can I make my BarItem icons look MORE disabled when disabled. When compared to disabled icons in VS.Net, the difference is huge. In fact, it is really hard to tell when some of my icons are disabled.

Thanks,
Terry

Thanks for your feedback. We will look into this and post an update shortly.

Hi Terry,

1.To modify the current implementation, changes need to be made in the DrawingUtils.DrawShadow method call in Tools\Src\Framework Components\XPMenus\Renderers\Renderers.cs (line 3696).

2. We are also contemplating on providing a DisabledImageList property to our BarManagers where users can provide a completely different image for disabled state drawing, if necessary. But this feature will be looked at only after the release of the 2.0 version of Essential Suite and may be a while before it will be available if we decide to do so.

Regards
Arun

Thanks for the reply. This all sounds good. How about also a DisabledImageFactor static property or something similar in the MenuColors class?

Thanks,
Terry
