Controling the Highlight color of BarItems

[Shay]

I want to chaneg the color of the highlight box of BarItem instances in XPMenu.Bar bars (statusbar, menubar, toolbar) when the mouse is hovering over them.

(when changing BarItemSelectFlashColor, only a section of the highlight rectangle changed its color).
Is there any way to chaneg the appearance of the highlighting without overriding OnPaint?

Hi Shay,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

You can change the MenuColors with the Static properties in the MenuColors class as follows,

MenuColors.SelColor = Color.FromArgb(179, 71, 59);
MenuColors.SelTextColor  = Color.White;
MenuColors.SelBorderColor = Color.FromArgb(183, 214, 242);
MenuColors.MenuBGColor  = Color.White;
MenuColors.MenuLeftStripColor = Color.White;
MenuColors.DropDownBorderColor = Color.FromArgb(166, 205, 226);
MenuColors.PressedSelColor = Color.FromArgb(166, 201, 232);
MenuColors.CheckedSelColor = Color.FromArgb(215, 236, 255);
MenuColors.FloatingCommandBarCaptionColor = Color.FromArgb(183, 214, 242);
