Thanks for trying. :)

The panel tint color is in the Appearance -> Advanced dialog and is related to the transparency settings.

Background images may be used in the panel.

None of these settings are related to the menu color. The best I can tell, the menu color is controlled in Appearance & Themes -> Colors -> Widget Color -> Window Background. The caveat is this option seems to be a sledge hammer all-or-nothing kitchen sink approach.

Obtaining a dark panel is straight forward using different methods but not the menu color. I don't want any dark themes because that affects the window background color in everything. I only want a dark panel and dark menu like I configured in KDE. Possibly the configuration in the newer KDE and older TDE are similar but the different dialog layouts are confusing me. Possibly what I want is not configurable in TDE.

Yep, we tried.

This may be worth a feature-request. For somebody who knows how the desktop painting code works, it shouldn't be hard to hook the menu display and provide a separate foreground/background color selection option. I've always had difficulty tracing where the separate elements get drawn through the code.

I agree with you, that the menu background is likely just the normal desktop appearance background color. The guesses I had were from looking though the config files at where the various menu elements were set. There is very little that distinguishes the kicker taskbar/panel settings from kmenu itself.

  If you find anything in a stroke of brilliance, let us know.
