[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Color of command-sequence in menuitems

nsw@cord.UUCP (Neil Weinstock) (03/27/89)

This should be a really easy one to solve, but I'm having no luck with it.

How can I control the color the command-key sequence gets rendered in a
menuitem?  No matter what I do, it always seems to be coming out in colors
1 and 0; the slanted "A" is in 1, while the background is in 0.  This means
that there are also four dots at the corners of the box, and the dots come
out in color 1, like the "A".  I am using a 2 bitplane custom screen.

Since color 0 is my background color for the menus (and changing this will
only be a last resort, for various reasons), I need to have the "A" come out
in color 0, so the four corner dots are invisible against the background.
What combination of BlockPen and DetailPen (for the screen) and/or FrontPen 
and BackPen (IntuiText) can let me alter the command sequence rendering?

Thanks in advance...
