RE: newRPL: design of soft menus
From my experience when I originally tried all these things:

a) I went for black, white and one level of gray because I found that many grays can appear to flicker in some calcs, and others can be hard to see unless your contrast settings are exactly as designed. On the PC screen of course, this looks a lot better.
b) Let's not forget that labels can be inverted (like the white solver menus), so for example light gray background with black text, what's the inverted state of that?

I think I agree (perhaps because we are used to it) that option 5 is the cleanest, but we would have to lose 3 pixels (one for each row) to have that extra line on the second menu as well (to keep it consistent).

What about inverting a triangle in the upper-right corner of the label for directories instead? Let's say 3x3 pixels:
Code:
