Question

Context menus seem to have a default white background.
This looks pretty nice, but for consistency’s sake, I’d like the context menu to be gray like with any other application. How can I get this style for my context menu?

Have a look at my answer for another similar question about menu items.

What you need to do is to use a ContextMenu instead of a ContextMenuStrip. This will pick up the default colours (ie. gray) and styles set in the underlying operating system instead of its own defined colours and styles.
