one tool that ive found useful that could be a help here...
the Theme Tester

its a little hidden in the prefs panel, i happened to stumble upon it accident when i was lost, exploring, under the hood one even whilst tweaking my colors.

its in...
Preferences > Colors and Fonts > Windows Colors > System Colors \ Introduction ... linked on the right side panel.

ive done a lot of UI color tweaking, and ive just noticed there not a option to color the current sorted column header...

i am already using a custom shade on the sorted column itself, a very faint change.

i guess if possible can the be a feature request? i like how i have it both set up in everything

There is no special font for the right click menu, all menu fonts are the same as the toolbar font.

30

my toolbar font doesn't act on this menu

31

That's strange, on both my computers only the font for the location bar doesn't change but for the toolbar and menu it works fine.

32

there's a "Preferences / Colors and Fonts / Fonts / Override fonts in Location bar toolbars", works fine for me, but not menus changes with toolbar font. @Leo ???

Ah, thanks for the info, I didn't realize it as I never changed the font in dopus.

Some menus are built by Opus, some by Windows. The Windows ones use the standard system-wide font.
