As has already been noted by someone, FullWrite does not use color menus
even if you set them up on your Mac II with the Kolor CDEV. The reason
for this is twofold: First, they supply their own mctb resource. An
applications own mctb resource will override (rightly so) the global mctb
put in the System file by Kolor (same with all other color resources).
Thus, you might think removing this resource from FullWrite will give you
color menus. It does, sort of. You will get your menubar colored and the
items in the Apple menu. However, the items in the other menus will remain
B&W. This is due to the non-standard MDEF the use to handle their menus.
Their MDEF (as also already noted by someone) does not follow the Apple
interface guidelines by putting triangle arrows at the top and bottom of
long scrolling menus (such as the Font menu). One thing in their favor
though, their menus do scroll much faster than Apple's.
