GUI drawing issues

The background of the pop-up menu labels are white and the grey border around the preview seems to be set a few pixels down and right.

Summary: GUI issue in Screenshot panel → GUI issue in Screenshot panel (easy)

Okay, my insight from looking at the screenshot is we've got two problems:

  1. BMenuField gets its background colour from its parent, but when it is added directly to a window, the parent view is inaccessible, so it must be done by the programmer.
  2. That border problem... not sure what that's about, maybe someone could do a bisect to find out when it appeared.

Anyway, I think this would make a good 'easy' ticket, so I'm setting it as such.

Edit: problem #1 occurs when the menu field is added directly to a window, not a view.

This issue has been around awhile. IIRC, it started after the layout changes in hrev43514.

Sorry, like others on irc, I thought there was already a ticket for this issue.

If you don't have bandwidth for this one, @yourpalal, I'm more than willing to work on this. I'd like to be more regularly involved with the easy fixes. :)

Hi composr, that would be great. I actually put it as an 'easy' ticket in hopes someone who wanted to get going with Haiku could pick it up, so that works well. I'll be here to help so please ask if you have any questions.

I've created a patch to fix these issues. To anyone applying the patch themselves: you'll want to copy the new Screenshot app to /boot/system/apps/ so that when the app relaunches itself to capture a screenshot, the patched version is launched.

Hi ahartford, thanks for you work :) Your patch looks good, once I have time I'll apply and commit it. (Assuming there are no problems)
