Yes. When Emacs is compiled with GTK, the menu bar and the tool bar have the light color of the header line and the mode line of a non-selected window. When Emacs is compiled with LessTif, the menu bar and the tool bar have the dark color of the mode line of a selected window. I didn't check the Athena toolkit, but if memory serves me, it behaves like LessTif in this respect. > That is somewhat undesirable, I'd say. Maybe we should make the > default colors of the header line depend on the toolkit in use. I think it's better to make the colors of the menu bar and tool bar the same for all toolkits. Lute.
