Among Windows 7's features, the taskbar overhaul is probably the feature in Microsoft's upcoming OS that has aroused the most interest.
So you've seen all those videos of the new Windows 7 Beta taskbar and you can't help but wish that the new "Superbar" was also available for Vista and XP? Well, you won't have to wait for Windows 7 anymore... Winstep Xtreme 8.11 has just been released, and brings with it the most interesting features of the new Windows 7 taskbar into the XP and Vista world!
An integrated workspace environment, Winstep Xtreme is a powerful suite of applications that merge incredible usability and performance with breathtaking eye candy.
Winstep Xtreme features NeXuS, a multi-dock system with multiple levels of sub-docks, NextSTART, a menu system that also takes care of all your task management needs, WorkShelf, a powerful tabbed dock able to display special system drawers such as the Windows Control Panel, Desktop, etc, Winstep Start Menu Organizer Pro, which cleans and organizes your Windows Start Menu, FontBrowser, a bare-bones font browsing utility, and a pack of useful widgets which can be displayed on the desktop, featured within the docks, placed within shelves or merged into the taskbar.

And I'm not sure I fully understand the question, hehe.
If you mean the submenus used in WorkShelf, those come from the current NextSTART theme. Which theme is used for the WorkShelf context menus has to do with how Winstep integration has been set: open WorkShelf Preferences -> Theme Management -> Theme Options button -> Menus section at the top. You have 3 options:
1: Use Integrated WorkShelf Theme (means the menus will use the look specified in the NextSTART theme that is the companion for the theme currently applied to WorkShelf. Thing here is that your current NextSTART theme MUST have been saved in the mean time - my bet is that was the problem).
2: Use current NextSTART theme (menus in WorkShelf assume the look of your current NextSTART menus - this enables you to have, for instance, WorkShelf displaying the KTEK 4D theme but with Aero LowRes menus, if that is the theme currently selected in NextSTART).
3: Use Default Menu Theme (context menus in WorkShelf will always display with the NeXT theme look, which is currently the default).
Anyway, sorry for the delay in replying and happy new year to all too!

Thanks Doc! I just hope Tiggz see's it and likes it as well. 
As soon as everythings done I'll be sending him the screenshot. But remember the WB skin itself has never been finished or released...so he "may" not want to have this released just yet. Fingers crossed though!

Mike, me too! Makes it faster and so much better. Vista Start Menu better improve in W7 or I ain't upgrading.
