Black tray menu
« on: October 14, 2015, 11:59 AM »
Hi mouser,

The tray menu here has been black for a long time. Years, probably. It seems like I'm the only one (?), but I wonder why. Driver issues, maybe, but on my computer, FARR is the only application with a problematic tray menu.

When I hover over the menu, the various entries appear/disappear.
The menu is still usable.

FARR is the only application with a problematic tray menu.

If it's only FARR with this problem, maybe the skin you have set for farr or custom colors?
check the "Advanced Visuals" option in far and uncheck any custom stuff.

Thanks, I'll try that and report.

That was it, mouser. It had to do with the skin option.

Actually, the "use fancy skinned display" option was checked, but somewhere along the way, the skin in the drop down got unselected (it was empty).

When I reselected a skin (slenderFarr), the tray menu appeared normally again.  :up:
