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

Looks like all applications of the era use those same menu API as VFP. See the image below. If you want those 3d Disabled menu icons like Office 2003, then you have to create "OwnerDrawn Menus" - basically DIY.
