Correct me if I am wrong but you mean a menu with the little wedge at the
bottom that makes it look like a comic book dialog bubble.
I may also be wrong about this but I understood that menu's were actually
just borderless windows drawn when you click the appropriate object. So if
that is true, then technially you only need to make your borderless window
and make it appear when whatever you want to activate the menu is clicked.
With the borderless window you are fairly free in your choice of shapes.
see then round transparent window example from Apple.
