How to change highlight color for menus?

What controls the highlight color used for Firefox menus? ... like Find, Print and About ... the main menus.

I used the Stratiform Plug-in to change my font color to blue and now it's exactly the same as the highlight color ... so highlighting makes the entry's text invisible.

I want my highlight color to be YELLOW only, regardless of any theme I might use.

You probably need to set that in the Windows settings in the Control Panel.

Good idea ... but (in XP) the color for Selected Items only affects Windows menu entries. It looks like some other setting affects the Firefox ones. I've attached a couple of captures to show what I'm seeing.

Thanks for trying.

Are you using a custom theme?

Yes, I did have a custom theme enabled. But now I've enabled the Default them, with no change in the appearance of the Firefox menu highlighting.

Any other suggestions?
