The palette menu is a kind of pop-up menu that allows you to organize
menu items in one or more N x M matrices (see Figure 1) or in a more complex layout.
Besides, there are several other options for Prof-UIS palette menus, with which you can
enrich the user interface of your application:
- A header that optionally precedes each group.
- The gradient background consistent with gradient themes like Office 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 (see Figure 2).
- Custom drawn palette menus (see Figure 3 and Figure 4).
Please note that the menu for selecting icons for menu commands in customizable applications is a palette menu.
This feature is available in Prof-UIS by default.
