Menu newbie confusion

[Jerry Jensen]

In all my time with LC, I've never used menus - until now. I'm having some trouble getting the hang of it. I'm using LC Community 6.1.0 on OSX 10.8.4 .

I'm simply trying to add a menu of my own to the mac menu bar with a disabled item. I have made one with the Menu Builder in a new empty stack. When I tick the "Disabled" box of an item using the Menu Builder, I'd like to see it "grayed-out" in the menu when its pulled down. Instead, its simply empty white space.

I have tried setting the text colors of the button that is the menu, using the Project Browser but it doesn't seem to change anything.

What am I missing? Pointers to documentation gratefully accepted.

Cheer,
Jerry
