71 Here a new version of the patch for current cvs/snapshot.
72 This patch add a new options to Colorset: Translucent/NoTranslucent.
73 These options has effects only with (non tear-off) menu.
74 Also menu animation is "handled".
78 Colorset 5 fg yellow, bg blue, HGradient 200 lightblue darkblue, \
80 Style * MenuColorset 5, PopupOffset 0 100, AnimationOff
82 you get translucent menus (with a 60% blue tint) and if you tear-off
83 a menu the menu use the gradient.
