({{, (RefLink[MenuStyle, paclet:ref/MenuStyle]) 
is an option for menu-generating constructs that specifies the style to use in displaying menu items. }})

OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

Any style specification used in (RefLink[Style, paclet:ref/Style]) can be used as a setting for (RefLink[MenuStyle, paclet:ref/MenuStyle]).

Typical forms of settings include:

Color directives such as (RefLink[Red, paclet:ref/Red]), as well as text specifications such as (RefLink[Bold, paclet:ref/Bold]) or (RefLink[Small, paclet:ref/Small]), can be given in place of options, just as in (RefLink[Style, paclet:ref/Style]).

Giving the option setting (RefLink[MenuStyle, paclet:ref/MenuStyle])->spec is effectively equivalent to replacing the menu elements of a formatting or related construct by (RefLink[Style, paclet:ref/Style])[label,spec].

Any outside styles not explicitly overridden by settings in (RefLink[MenuStyle, paclet:ref/MenuStyle]) will still be used.

(RefLink[MenuStyle, paclet:ref/MenuStyle]) is effectively applied after (RefLink[DefaultMenuStyle, paclet:ref/DefaultMenuStyle]).

OpenersPrimaryExamplesSection(Spacer1)Examples  (2)

Specify overall style of all the menu-like elements:

PopupMenu[1,Range[5],MenuStyle->{Orange}]

(RefLink[MenuStyle, paclet:ref/MenuStyle]) can be used to specify styles that should not be applied to the menu's base appearance:

PopupMenu[1, Range[5], Button["Choose value"],Button["Choose value"],MenuStyle->Orange]

OpenersExampleSection1(Spacer1)Scope  (1)

(RefLink[MenuStyle, paclet:ref/MenuStyle]) affects the appearance of menus, but does not change their actions:

ActionMenu["Print",{1:>Print[1],2:>Print[2]},MenuStyle->{24}]
