Hi there!
As you may know, the font setting for menus was moved from the Menu preference panel to
the Fonts panel.
Now, I was wondering what's so special about the menu font, that it's the only one
settable from the Fonts panel besides the general plain, bold, fixed?
If this setting wasn't removed altogether (I wouldn't mind at all), it would fit better
into the Appearance panel. After all every color setting for a "... text" object could
also have its font+size set.
Personally, I'd never use the Color tab of the Appearance panel. Besides being satisfied
with Haiku's default looks, I hate looking through lists of objects, trying to figure out
what's what. How about having the Apearance panel show a representation of a window with
all available widgets. Below this window-dummy it states the name of the clicked on
object, and you have all the other stuff like font/size/text-color/background-color. All
changing (at least in the windows-dummy) in realtime.
Regards,
Humdinger
