Customising the "bar" of the MenuBar component

Question

Hi there, here is my situation...
I'm trying to modify the style properties of a MenuBar
component at runtime, in particular the colour of the bar.
Reskinning is not really an option as the effect must happen
at runtime.
Using
myMenuBar_mb.setStyle("themeColor", 0xFFAAAA);
works to an extent (changing border & highlight colour)
but does not change the silvery bar that the "root menu" labels sit
upon.
if I use setStyle("backgroundColor", 0x000000); the child
Menu's are changed, but alas, not the bar itself.
Any ideas?

Well in the case of only searching a specific field all you need to do is delete the portions of your reports SQL statement that are refering to the other columns.
find the regions area in your edit page
select the first link in the line about your report (the name of your report as oppossed to the one next to it that says report)
scroll down to the source area there should be a SQL statement that looks something like this:
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE_NUMBER
FROM TABLENAME)
WHERE (
instr(upper("NAME"),upper(nvl(:P3_REPORT_SEARCH,"NAME"))) > 0 or
instr(upper("ADDRESS"),upper(nvl(:P3_REPORT_SEARCH,"ADDRESS"))) > 0 or
instr(upper("PHONE_NUMBER"),upper(nvl(:P3_REPORT_SEARCH,"PHONE_NUMBER"))) > 0
the instr statements return true if at least one instance of the search value is in in that column so in order to not include Address and Phone_number just get rid of those lines.
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE_NUMBER
FROM TABLENAME)
WHERE (
instr(upper("NAME"),upper(nvl(:P3_REPORT_SEARCH,"NAME"))) > 0
Delete them and apply changes.
The next thing is to get rid of the highlights (instances of the search string turn red in the report)
Click on the second link (report) for your report region.
click the edit icon next to address
in Column Formatting delete the text in Highlight Words.
apply and repeat for phone_number
