Hi Eric, This a Mac setting, not a Chimera setting per se. Open System Preferences and go to the Accessibility category. In the Display section (and under the "Display" tab), turn on "Reduce transparency".

Hi Eric,
Thank you for the info. You have great software. You are right I can see the menu with the in-window version. However, because the menu background it somewhat transparent it makes it more difficult to read. Granted I am a bit visually impaired.
Is there a way to make the menu background nontransparent?
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi Eric, This is a current limitation of the Tk windowing toolkit that Chimera uses. Perhaps future versions of the toolkit will fix this, but for now that's the way it is. Your two options are:
1) Don't use dark mode when using Chimera. That might be a pain. 2) Use the in-window version of the menus rather than the ones at the top of the screen. The in-window menus don't suffer from this problem.
There is also sort of a third option: use our new program ChimeraX. It doesn't suffer from this problem.

Hi,
Chimera is great. However in the latest download for the Mac, I can no longer see the menus when in Dark Mode on my Macbook Pro using Mojave.
In the attached file you can see the the transparent background of the menu drop down list makes it even harder.
Is there a solution to adjust the menu text and background color and making the menu background opaque?
Thank you for your help.
Eric
