This only happens with version 11. I used to be able modify custom menus anytime when using version 10, but since upgraded the "modify" button doesn't always work. On the menus sometimes I can modify but most times I can not (modify button grey out and does not respond). Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Theresa1,
If you have the latest patch of Pd installed I found out that some times you have to 'Refresh" the thumbnails to get access to the Modify menu selection even on custom menu's you have created.

Hi Theresa -

There are some menus that cannot be modified in the regular way. That's why the button is greyed out.

I know, but I'm talking about custom menus that I created myself without any fancy effects. Anyway, thanks.

Sorry - I missed that before... "custom".

You're right to expect to be able to modify menus you've already customised. Could you post a screenshot of an example of the greyed out Modify button on a custom menu?
