NAME
menu_attributes - color and attribute control for menus SYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h> int set_menu_fore(MENU *menu, chtype attr); chtype menu_fore(const MENU *menu); int set_menu_back(MENU *menu, chtype attr); chtype menu_back(const MENU *menu); int set_menu_grey(MENU *menu, chtype attr); chtype menu_grey(const MENU *menu); int set_menu_pad(MENU *menu, int pad); int menu_pad(const MENU *menu); DESCRIPTION

The function set_menu_back sets the background attribute of menu. This is the highlight used for selectable (but not currently selected) menu items. The function menu_back returns the background attribute. The default is A_NORMAL. The function set_menu_grey sets the grey attribute of menu. This is the highlight used for un-selectable menu items in menus that permit more than one selection. The function menu_grey returns the grey attribute. The default is A_UNDERLINE. The function set_menu_pad sets the character used to fill the space between the name and description parts of a menu item. menu_pad returns the given menu's pad character. The default is a blank.

ncurses(3NCURSES) and related pages whose names begin "menu_" for detailed descriptions of the entry points. NOTES
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>. PORTABILITY
