Popup menus Inherit their background colours but not their
foreground colours from their parent. This can lead to some
unreadable colour combinations.
They should either ignore the parents colours like ordinary
menus appear to do or inherit both foreground and background.
The following example shows this porblem
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test extends Frame
{
  PopupMenu popup;
  Canvas c;
  public Test () {
    c = new Canvas();
    c.setForeground(Color.blue);
    c.setBackground(Color.white);
    add(c);
    String[] names = new String[] {"item1", "item2", "item3"};
    popup = new PopupMenu("title");
    for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++){
        MenuItem mi = new MenuItem (names[i]);
        popup.add(mi);
    }
    c.add(popup);
    c.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
          popup.show(c, e.getX(), e.getY());
          Graphics g = c.getGraphics();
          g.drawLine(5,5,100,100);
      }
    });
    setSize(200, 100);
    show();
  }
  public static void main (String args[])
  {
    Test t = new Test ();
  }
}
