==== Menus ====

Menus are backed with a slightly translucent solid gray, and when menu items are highlighted they appear blue. In [[Application software|application]] menus, which run in a single bar across the top of the [[Computer monitor|screen]], keyboard shortcuts appear to the right-hand side of the menu whilst the actual menu item is on the left. In Yosemite, the menus are much more translucent and have a blur effect.

Drop down menus for use in windows themselves are also available in several varieties. The standard "pop up" menu is white with a blue end cap with opposing arrows, whilst 'pull down' menus only have one downward facing arrow in the end cap. 'Pull down' menus are available in four different Aqua varieties, most of which have fallen into disuse in later macOS releases.
