Probably because you are using commands like Menu, MenuItem, etc. These are old
style (OS1.3) menus and AFAIK are hard-coded in Blitz to use Topaz. Perhaps you
could change that, but the menus will still look ugly. You are better to use
GTMenus (the menu functions provided by gadtools.library from OS2+).
> I have seen code with GTMenuItem commands. Where are these from??
These are in the GTMenuLib by RI/RWE. There is two versions I know of - one is
in the archive for a GadToolBox-like program on Aminet. The other was only ever
available as part of BSS and some of the functions have additional parameters
(basically the mutual exclude and user data parameters).
If you want the non-BSS version, its on B2k (http://www.blitz-
2000.redhotant.com) in the Archives->Libraries(Blitz) section, under
RIBlitzLibs.
PS I have asked Steve (Matty I think) if I could put the FreeBlitz stuff (which
includes the BSS libraries) on the B2k site, but didn't get an answer. I'll
email him again. I also haven't had an answer from Guildhall about the Blitz2
main program.
