Custom Menu Strip c#

Question

I have a simple question, How can I customize a Menu Strip on C#? VS gives you some customize options, but not too many.

I would like to change the menu border color, and the color of the selected item in the menu. I leave you here an example. I would like to do this in c#, but this is written on VB.

Link: Fully customizable Menu-, Tool-, ContextMenu-, and Status strips

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

First (and you may have noticed already), you can't post images in Q/A. Second, take the code in the cited article, and convert it to C#. There are plenty of free online converters available - google is your friend. You might even learn something in the process.

Hey man, this article includes the DLL's of the solution, add them as a reference in your project and add them too in Visual Studio's ToolBox (Control Box), them add the control, add a menu strip and the appearance control and select a Preset or customize color, then in the control in the "appearance" property select the appearance control, and that's it, that's the good thing of Dll's, they can be writen in VB or C# and work on anyone, I test it and they work beautifully, don't convert the code, there's no need for it... cheers.

This is not an answer to my comment.
It seems as an answer to OP's question.
So, post it right!
