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 Erik!

I noticed the content of your Menu is about record manipulations. Is your menu a menu strip or just plain vfp menu? If the latter is the case, do you have different menu for every form or module? Thanks.

For the record: I like your Menu. :-)
