Xbase++ have a Ownerdraw Menu Sample
c:\ALASKA\XPPW32\Source\samples\basics\OWNERDRW\

Jim,
The Ownerdraw does not affect the main menu-bar items, it is only good
for the sub-menu-items.

Hi Jim. Good morning.
Can you posting here how did you made this?

Jim,
Can we change the font of the menu-bar {above the shortcut-images)?

hi,

i have to say sorry about last Picture as i use harbour / HMG***, not 
Xbase++, for it
***https://www.hmgforum.com/app.php/download

  SetMenuBkGradient(hWnd, lSubMenu, RGB1, RGB2, nDirection, Wide, Height)
HB_FUNC( SETMENUBKGRADIENT )
{
   HMENU      iMenu ;
   MENUINFO   iMenuInfo ;
   HBRUSH     hBrush ;

   HWND  hWnd     = (HWND) HMG_parnl (1);
   BOOL  lSubMenu = (BOOL) hb_parl   (2);
   INT   nWide    = (INT)  hb_parnl  (6);
   INT   nHeight  = (INT)  hb_parnl  (7);

   hBrush = CreateSolidBrush( RGB( hb_parvni( 3, 1 ), hb_parvni( 3, 2 ), 
hb_parvni( 3, 3 ) ) );
   iMenu = GetMenu ( hWnd );
   GetMenuInfo(iMenu, &iMenuInfo);
   iMenuInfo.cbSize   = sizeof(MENUINFO);
   if (lSubMenu)
      iMenuInfo.fMask    = MIM_BACKGROUND | MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS;
   else
      iMenuInfo.fMask    = MIM_BACKGROUND;

   iMenuInfo.hbrBack = hBrush ;
   SetMenuInfo(iMenu, &iMenuInfo);
   DrawMenuBar( (HWND) HMG_parnl (1) );
}

what you can do is set
   oDlg:titleBar := .F.
and add a XbpStatic to "simulate" Titlebar

The XbpMenuBar owner-draw does affect the main menu-bar items. You can set the
width of items, font of items and colors for normal, selected and disabled
items. You can also display caption and image for each item.
