Q: Is there a way to display color icons in menus?
A: Absolutely. Here are two ways:
If SetMenuItemIconHandle is available, use it. It affords
you a great deal of flexibility.
If not, then simply make a 'cicn' resource with the
proper ID for the relevant menu item, and the system will use the
'cicn' instead of a 1-bit icon ('ICON').
This trick works on any system with color QuickDraw. To support
systems both with and without color QuickDraw, simply provide both
1-bit ('ICON') and color ('cicn') icon
resources with the same ID.
