Hi Brian,

You're welcome.
I have uploaded the latest version (1.1.1) of my Appearance Override.Incl file
which allows pop-up menus and cicns to be used at the same time in bevel
buttons:
BUTTON 3 ,resID ,"" ,(346,143)-(375,165),_bevelButton
You must give the same resID to your menu and your cicn.

I don't recommend however to use the Appearance Override.Incl file in your
real projects for many reasons:

- It has not been tested.
- you could fall short on various things because not all control variants have
been included.
- you could have problems with refreshing if you mix regular Edit Fields with
Edit Text controls
- you could discover strange behaviors difficult to fix
- a lot of work still remains even if, as the demo files show, all the
Appearance controls can be displayed and partially handled.
- you cannot share your snippets of code

Finally, I remind you that it was first an experiment to prove a certain point
(this first draft was not really designed, I just decided when I started the
job not to add any extra FN to the include file, which is not a great idea I
guess) Although I think it shows that something is possible I'm still hoping
that good programmers will have a mind if not to start over the job at least
to enhance it.

Cheers

Alain
