I'm attempting to draw custom menus as part of a kiosk application where normal Mac OS X menus would look out of place.

I can customize drawing of the individual menu items using a custom view (through -[NSMenuItem setView:]). However, there remains a region above and below the items where I can't draw. So I'm left with a menu with portions of the aqua appearance, and portions of my appearance - which is definitely not what I'm after.

I have a hunch it can be done by dropping down into the Carbon menu manager, but that's not supported and will break in 64-bit... Does anyone have any ideas?

There's no way to do this in Cocoa yet, sorry.
