WinForm App with Themed Menus - Setting background for active menu

Hi Guys,

I'm developing a WinForm app that has an MDI with a menu strip and some menus.

The app has to be themable so the user can choose their own background colour, font colour and font.

I'm having a bit of a problem theming the menu that is currently dropped down. I've been using the backcolor property and set it for both the menu and the menu.DropDown but its still not changing the colour of the background nor the part of the menu item that contains the image for that menuitem.

anyone got any ideas?
