Jean Thanks. I tried setting shadow type of menu bar...
Actually I used GtkItemFactory widget so *that* is my menu bar: gtk_menu_bar_set_shadow_type(GTK_MENU_BAR(MenuBar::itemFactory), GTK_SHADOW_OUT); gtk_handle_box_set_shadow_type(GTK_HANDLE_BOX(MenuBar::handleBox), GTK_SHADOW_OUT); This did not make a difference in shadow of menu even when I tried replacing itemFactory with gtk_item_factory_get_widget(MenuBar::itemFactory, "< >"). Any other ideas? ... I *did* find a solution although it is not perhaps the most elegant one..... I am able to successfully change the shadow type of a *frame*. Therefore, if I add menu_bar/itemfactory to a handle box and then add handle box to a frame and then change shadow of /frame/ it works!!!! Messy but it works. I dunno why I cannot just do gtk_menu_bar_set_shadow_type and be done with it and/or gtk_handle_box_set_shadow_type.
