Also various resolutions and while 16 colours does seem to be okay, anything else for disabled images shows up as blotchy/fuzzy greyish lumps. I did try using 16 colours images and it just looked bad compared to the 'True Color' iamges used throughout the rest of the application.

Hi Steve,
I'm guess you did not miss something. FWIW you may want to check www.codeplex.com/vfpx for several releases dealing with menus.

here is how my menu (disable items) looks like:

this uses BMP/MSK files which were converted from high-res PNG files.
