Description

Please create a DropdownMenu control.
This would be basically what the actual menu in click-examples does (+more looks).
Here is a list of various decorations the DropdownMenu could take:

It would be very helpful if the DropdownMenu would simply allow to choose another decoration,
e.g. exactly like it's possible with the Table control:
http://www.avoka.com/click-examples/table/table-styles.htm
(there are many good styles at that blog page)

This would save users allot of work - the same way the Table control does.

I think the Menu control should be than more generic (not the dropdown version that it is now), and it should be simpler
to extend. For this it would also require additional properties, mentioned below:
