Hey afishe2000
well I made another small edit and added the Exec=
to see the code used to launch the desktop with
*I added an icon this time and desktop so it could be packaged
for another version (I use a TXZ format)
the reason I hacked out this part of the code is because it can be re used
for other apps the way you set up the reading of the comments is very clever

See the first post for more details...
pmenu-3.0.0.pet
The pet for 3.0.0 REQUIRES /usr/bin/switch2 from gtk-theme-switch-i386.pet.

jemimah,
Ah, found the issue - seems to happen to the right click menus.
Looking to see if zigbert's code causes the same problem?
Just wondering if it's a gtk-theme-switch problem or if I implemented his technique incorrectly.
Thanks,
Jeff

Ok,
After further research I cannot recreate the problem.
I'm switching between the Brushed and Clearlooks themes using CHThemes.
Brushed looks perfect.
Clearlooks has white highlight text and is hard to read when you use the right click menus. (That is what I thought the problem was.)
This is a problem on my machine with the theme straight out of the box un-modified.
Maybe you can post a screenshot of the problem.
Unless you are talking about "Atom", "Barbee", "Celeron"... themes.

Here are two screen shots.
Is this what we are talking about?

Ok,
Finally able to duplicate the problem, and it's a weird one.
I'm using a fresh full install of Puppeee 4.4 beta 2.
Change your theme to Brushed.
Open Chrome and Geany and test the menus work normally.
Open pmenu and select a program from either list so the icon shows.
While pmenu is still open test the menus on Chrome and Greany. (Should function normally)
Close pmenu and check the menus again. (No highlighting for the menu system)
Close and reopen Chrome and Greany and check the menus again. (Should function normally)
You can also fix the problem by re-applying the theme.
Doesn't seem to effect Firefox, still checking other programs.
May take some research to figure this one out....

Sorry,newbie question. After I've downloaded the pmenu-3.0.0.pet which is actually a pupzip tar.gz file ,and the required gtk...pet, what do I do? Pls bear with me,usually I just click the pet and it would auto install.
I am keen to use this tool in puppy 431, Wary 511 and 522, 214X-TOP9 and Lighthouse . Thanks in advance.

'That simply works,thanks so much;instead of hunting high and low for the latest pmenu.pet to update the original/default pmenu editor,greedy me .
Btw,before you came to my rescue,I've carelessly or accidentally deleted the opera icon on the desktop in the usr/share/applications folder and it became a triangle with exclamation mark inside but not linked to anything,how do I restore or remove this "hanging" icon?
Edit: It's OK,I've figured out how to remove or edit the menu item or put one on the desktop.
