The Menu Color Information Table Resource

NOT RECOMMENDED WITH THE APPEARANCE MANAGER

When the Appearance Manager is available and you are using standard menus, only the menu title color (RGB1) and menu item text color (RGB2) fields of the menu color information table ('mctb') resource are used. If you specify 0 in the mctID and mctItem fields in the menu color entries of the menu bar in the table, the other colors will be used for the menus and menu bars.

If you are creating your own custom menu definition function, all entries in the menu color information table can be used.
