Ignition Early Access

Ignition 8.0.2 - build 2109-05-20

we use in Ignition 7.9 Jmenu Item with no problem.
In Ignition 8,

menuitem = JMenuItem()…
menuitem.setBackground
menuitem.setForeground

The backgroud color of the Jmenu can’t be changed ?

@paul-griffith, @awalker do you have any ETA for the fix?

Bump
Hope the fix could be in the cut for the 8.0.3 final ?

It’s unlikely (8.0.3, that is), at this point. I haven’t done more than cursory research, but from what I remember when this was first reported, we’ll need to get a fix from the developers who did the new look and feel…which has a built in lead time that’s not insignificant.

Is there any progress about this subject after 5 years?

The linked issue was fixed, in 2021. Submenu background coloring doesn't work because we didn't think to check that at the time. You should contact support so they can create an official bug ticket for you for submenu background colors not working, and in the meantime I know justinedwards.jle has a post you saw with a workaround.
