Probably a very easy problem to solve, but: I am struggling to set the theme of a custom menu. I tried like this:
var mainMenu = new WatchUi.CustomMenu(75, Graphics.COLOR_WHITE, {
:focusItemHeight=>75,
:focus=>0,
:title=>new $.MainMenuTitle(),
:footerItemHeight=>80,
:theme=>1 // This is theme
});
But this always fails to compile. Could anyone please help?
I tried setting a custom menu theme in the SDK Menu2Sample, for a simulated 965.
MenuSampleBasicCustom.mc:
//! Create the Basic Drawables custom menu
function pushBasicCustom() as Void {
var customMenu…
I am experiencing similar flaws. Probably it makes sense to avoid custom menus and use Menu2 instead.
I feel like it's working (somewhat) as intended, but the documentation is incorrect.…

var customMenu = new WatchUi.CustomMenu(

Graphics.COLOR_GREEN, // 👈 modified arg

:focusItemHeight=>45,
:foreground=>new $.Rez.Drawables.MenuForeground(),
:title=>new $.DrawableMenuTitle(),
:footer=>new $.DrawableMenuFooter(),
:theme=>WatchUi.MENU_THEME_ORANGE // 👈 new option
}
);
Changing the theme actually seems to change the appearance of the UI element (*) which highlights the focused item, contrary to the implication in the docs (**). Also contrary to what the docs explicitly say, the background color (2nd arg) is still respected. At least that's what I see in the sim.
(*) This element only seems to be present for touchscreen devices. As the docs point out, focusItemHeight is ignored for non-touchscreen devices, which suggests that the focused item is distinguished by its height on those devices.
EDIT: Looks like the highlighter element is only present on newer watches, like Forerunner 265 and 965 (in order to match the new look of native menus).
The background color will not be used if themes are supported and the theme is non-null.
^ This is obviously not true.
This is what MENU_THEME_ORANGE (with a green background) looks like.
For contrast, MENU_THEME_BLUE:
