Coral Draw X6 on Windows 10 Pro

[Bill George]

OMG I thought I would never ask a question about Windows 10 Pro (x64) but I have Coral Draw X6 installed and working fine... except for the top Menu pull downs do not appear until I scroll my mouse over. I have both Paint and
Coral Draw in the Windows 7 mode.
Suggestions?

There is no fix for it and Corel won't patch a program so far past its lifespan. It stems from Corel (not Coral) taking matters into their own hands when designing the menus and what color scheme to use, they didn't follow Microsoft conventions and subsequent Windows patches "broke" their menus. Had they followed what virtually every other Windows program followed, this wouldn't be an issue.

Thanks Gary, yes I know its Corel not Coral, must have been Windows 10!!

We use X5 and to work around this issue you can make your own custom tool bar. If you put all of the same things in the custom toolbar they will show up correctly. It is kinda pain to setup, but if you aren't ready to upgrad it will get you through.
