Hi, what resources do I have to edit in ThemePark to change contextual/menu bar menus to, say, a transparent black color and change the highlighted look as in themes like SynMod, Eternal, or Synergy (preferably Synergy)?

Here's a screenshot of Synergy's menu:



I'd like to make my contextual menus EXACTLY like that, with that sort of grey box going around the highlighted item, and all of the same text colors/arrows. Where would I find these resources in the theme using ThemePark (and put them into my own GuiKit)? Thanks!

If you want to exactly copy those elements to your theme then just apply the theme that you want to merge elements from (synergy in this case), open your themepark file and highlight the following global elements/menubar and menus items (one at a time and go to theme/discard modified elements, hit continue. Then go to theme/merge with installed elements.)

- aqua menu divider caps
- aqua menu divider fill
- aqua menu item caps
- aqua menu item fill
- menu divider
- menu background
- menu hierarchial arrow
- menu scrolling up arrow
- menu scrolling down arrow
- item check mark
- item dash mark
- item diamond mark
- item bullet mark

I've actually tried that exact operation, and it only copies it partially... the text colors aren't saved, and the highlight is just a flat gray color.

Post a screen of the highlight problem....and (don't take this the wrong way) have you actually looked within Themepark for what elements there are that make up a theme? Your asking about text colors and there is a section called Text Colors.....
