I am at my wit's end.  THe MainMenu control is almost perfect, except for some reason the entire thing insists on being semi-transparent.  I have tried setting Opacity=1.0 on every single menu, mainmenuitem, mainmenu, menuitem, etc., and for some reason the whole thing still keeps coming out semi-transparent.  What am I doing wrong?  I would really like to use this menu control set, but if I can't read the menus, it's not going to work.

Thanks,

Nathan

Here's my XAML (partial)

<menu:MainMenu x:Name="menuMain" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"

                       ItemSelected="menuMain_ItemSelected">

            <menu:MainMenu.Items>

                <menu:MainMenuItem x:Name="mmiRuleEngine" ID="RuleEngine" Text="Rule engine">

                    <menu:Menu x:Name="mRuleEngine">

                        <menu:MenuItem ID="miSelectEngine" Text="Select rule engine">

                            <menu:Menu>

                                <menu:MenuItem ID="miLarpgEngine" Text="Larpg"/>

                                <menu:MenuItem ID="miD20Engine" Text="D20"/>

                            </menu:Menu>

                        </menu:MenuItem>

                    </menu:Menu>

                </menu:MainMenuItem>

                <menu:MainMenuItem ID="Ruleset" Text="Ruleset">

                    <menu:Menu>

                        <menu:MenuItem ID="miSelectRuleset" Text="Select ruleset">

                            <menu:Menu Name="mSelectRuleset">

                            </menu:Menu>

                        </menu:MenuItem>

                    </menu:Menu>

                </menu:MainMenuItem>

Okay, I found DisabledOpacity, which is statically set to 0.4, but my menu is enabled, so why would that be getting involved?

Hi,

Are you setting the IsEnabled property on the menu control?  The DisabledOpacity is only used whe you disable a menu item.  I also copied your provided XAML to a test project and it renders fine for me, is something else not setting the opacity?

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem.. :S

Have you found out the answer yet?

thanks

I found that it is caused by the busyindicator in the silverlight toolkit

but I have no idea how to fix it.. :s
