This patch add a new options to Colorset: Translucent/NoTranslucent. These options has effects only with (non tear-off) menu. Also menu animation is "handled". For example with: Colorset 5 fg yellow, bg blue, HGradient 200 lightblue darkblue, \ Translucent blue 60 Style * MenuColorset 5, PopupOffset 0 100, AnimationOff you get translucent menus (with a 60% blue tint) and if you tear-off a menu the menu use the gradient.
