+Here a new version of the patch for current cvs/snapshot.
+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.
+
+Regards, Olivier
