I made my start menu so perdy and now my context menus stick out like a sore thumb in comparison. Since the ground work for editing skins of these kinds of menus is already there, could one hope for the addition of editing context menus in the same way in some future version of classic shell? Is this A. possible and B. at all interesting for the devs to pursue?

To clarify, I'm talking about editing the looks (ie skin) of the generic type of windows context menu, not their contents as there are already programs/registry hacks for that.

Anyway I think this would be an incredible addition to an already amazing program :)

Thanks in advance for your time and thanks for your previous and continued work on this program!

Skinning context menus is something that only a third party Windows theme/visual style can do. Outside the scope of Classic Shell.

I've never seen a visual style do this. Are you sure it's possible?

Absolutely, Check out the context menu's for the high contrast themes that come bundled with windows for a proof of concept ;P
Now Finding a skin with everything you want is a different matter...

I'd offer to modify those menus myself...except that's the only part of a Visual Style I don't know how to modify >.<
